Could be quite the battle here on the seacoast of NH to stay all snow. I won’t be surprised if I end up with 6” or 16”. Pretty much impossible to have strong confidence watching these models.

Same system that just hit the Sierras, it has precedent.

Wait I’m not invited!? Two plankers only haha? Conditions up north are actually awesome right now. Wish I had the time to get up to Jay Peak this week.

Pretty much giving up on the season for down here...I’ll be happy with whatever we can squeak out from here on out. Maybe March holds some surprises. Sierras are about to get smoked....

A little late for it but definitely a good storm for rebuilding the base at the resorts. Hopefully we get some much lighter stuff to fall on top of it this week.

Good to see you guys held on to the snow up north! Congrats! Can’t wait to get up there next week and lay down some turns on some non man made snow for the first time in a while.

Highest I’ve seen the tide come up in my one year of being here. Just had some ducks swim through the backyard, my car should be safe in the front. Crazy wind this morning as well. Add another wind advisory event to the list that outperformed while it seems like every high wind warning falls short.

Funny map, but calling Lawrence MA the Midwest is the funniest thing I’ve ever heard haha.

The way those fronts intersect in the Atlantic almost outline the Bermuda Triangle, just farther north.

A nice weenie live stream to hold us over for another week until the pattern flips.

Damn, this must of been an insane storm to have a death toll and injuries like that for this region of Japan. 3+ meters in 3 days! http://www.asahi.com/sp/ajw/articles/14098383

Snow shut off completely here despite what radar says. Funny what radar can do far away from the location, was pounding out there 20 minutes ago under lighter returns.

Moderate snow in Hampton, great snow growth. This f’ing storm man.... edit: just dumping massive flakes on the coast now and starting to stick very quickly. Wasn’t expecting this.

Ya I think I know what you are getting at. At the end of the day it really sucks we had two extreme events happen 7 days from each other on opposite sides of the spectrum. Mother Nature served parts of NH with a once in a lifetime snowstorm followed up with a historic (although almost seems annual) cutter. My friend on ops crew at Ragged says the 4ft is just gone like it was a dream.

Holy crap! Looks like an inbounds avalanche on the east coast..Not sure what kind of precedent there is for that. Photos stolen from here. https://nyskiblog.com/forum/threads/belleayre-conditions.658/page-7

Another epic wind bust...can’t say I’m surprised at all. Literally the ultimate grinch storm. Completely depletes the pack and doesn’t even give us a good screamer. Merry Xmas all.

Any new wind map coming from BOX? Despite how much I despise this cutter I’m interested in how the winds going to behave, and how this will stack up to October 2017. It still frustrates me how little info and analysis is out there on that storm, I want to say @OceanStWx commented something similar this week about that storm as well. It was such an anomalous wind event for the Merrimack Valley. I just have a hard time believing LWM is going to blow to 65. Kind of a “I’ll believe it when I see it type deal” after living there for 25 years and seeing almost every single high wind warning fall short of criteria. It seemed like I hit advisory/warning criteria more often when I wasn’t under a wind advisory or warning for what it’s worth. The 60-65 box i have boxed in seems overdone while the 65-70 in SE mass I have no problem with.

Watch has been up for at least 15 minutes, didn’t look at the time stamp when they issued it but it was up when I posted last.

Looks like an active afternoon shaping up for the Carolinas. I’m going to sip an IPA on the beach and let the dog run around. It’s surprisingly empty out there considering how warm it is.

Or maybe I just enjoy my tropical storm like weather in September, not on Christmas. Oh ya by the way you are a dew/heat hobbyist, not a wx hobbyist.

How anyone even entertains the idea you aren’t trolling in here blows my mind....yes people are upset. Ski resorts, winter enthusiasts, the layman who likes seeing a white Christmas are all upset. I’m pissed of one of New Hampshires all time snowfalls is going to get washed away 7 days after it happened and every mountain I go to will be an f’ing glacier after whatever’s left refreezes...move to Florida Dr Dews. Go join the southeast forum and you can stroke yourself off to the high dews everyday.

The locals there refer to it as the “Danbury snowbelt” haha. I’ll have some photos from up there tomorrow. Bummer I couldn’t get to see it until all the snow settled so much...but my friends up there are saying the mountain is skiing way better then Thursday or Friday, he literally said so much terrain was unridable due to the depth of the snow.

Ya I remember that. Was news within the snowboard community at the time as it was being leased by the Carpenter family. (Burton snowboards) If I remember correctly some people were pisssed because his sons carelessness with drying out firewood caused it. I believe the family generously donated towards its rebuild however.

Single storm max record.

Edit: I see I am very late to the party. Not sure if this was posted. Ragged is claiming 48” total. Still mind blown. I’ll be up there Monday. Trying to get my friend on ops crew to send me some more photos but he’s not much of a texter...I’ll bug him when we are taking laps together.
