IVT has been producing steady light snow across southern Maine since about 7 this morning. Accumulated about an inch so far

The east facing ravines on mt. Washington are a month ahead of schedule. The whites don’t do snow like the northern greens buts it’s a been a great start to the season in the presidential range. Photo from today. Notice the big crown lines from a natural avalanche cycle that occurred sometime in the last 24 hours .

The new RRFS handled the temps well with this. Be interesting to see how that model performs this season in places that see frequent marginal setups

3.25” wrapping up now but still light snow, stayed snow the whole event.

Quick 2” in the last 2 hours and temp has dropped to 27. We’ll see how long we can hold onto the CAD.

I mentioned in the other thread I thought this might verify colder than modeled. Might not mean much in terms of sensible wx but could make a difference hyper locally

Posting this here because the main thread is a dumpster fire. I’m going to be right on the mix line with tomorrow’s system in the foothills of Maine. Quick look at the NAM temp profiles and it seems more of a surface level issue than mid level warmth look so I’m leaning a slightly colder solution than modeled for my area. Tough forecast here.

7.5” event total

Getting into the heavier rates now, have some ground to make up to get to GYX forecast. 5” atm. Really nice wintry scene out there .

Looks like the mix line is in Naples/Sebago

Still snowing here, hanging on at 32. Not sure we flip. Nice wintry vibe out there with the ground covered.

First event of the season! My take: Euro is an outlier, not buying verbatim and expect to see that tick NW over the next 24 hours. Seems like that’s been a pattern for that model over the past few seasons. NAM is doing its overamped NW thing but beware those midlevels for CNE and SNE. I have a feeling congrats dendrite with this one which is typically good for me too. Happy winter everyone!

Rode this NNE heat wave out in the Allagash, just returned this evening but was on the river since last Thursday. Holy shit what a bizarre yet amazing trip - this was my tenth and truly one of a kind. Never put a rain fly on the tent and basically lived in the river when not paddling. Truly a unique experience for a northern river trip. Water was scary warm in the main stem but we still managed to find and eat some brookies from the feeder streams.

Can any met comment on Wednesday’s severe threat for NNE? We have an outdoor event that evening and trying to plan contingencies. Thanks
