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

No real Mainer cares about their grass more than their firewood

I bet you’re enjoying those mini splits

Per Jay's webcam it looks like the snow moved in their about 30 min ago. I'm gonna keep an eye over the next 3-4 hours but as of now I'm planning to make the drive over in the morning. Man I've made the trip to NVT more than ever this season, speaks to the haves and have nots this winter. Hopefully next winter I can drive less

GFS trying for one of those 3’ multi day fake snow events in the northern greens

Upslope signal emerging for midweek is starting to get interesting. How close is Jay to 500”?

Deep winter at Jay today .

You have 6” more than me. We’ll see how this finishes but it’s a rare season where your area outperforms mine. 60” is pretty close to an F here. Only season with less in my time here was 15-16

What’s your average? Unless we get something rogue I won’t get to 75%

Quick 2” this afternoon .

5” here, great little pow day on the hill with no one there .

Jay was great today but probably more like 7-8” over that same period. Sticking around for tomorrow before heading back to Maine

What’s it look like tonight for the northern greens?

Puking fake snow at Jay right now. Sleeper pow day like you read about. .

5”. Great afternoon on the hill .

AWD and snow tires FTW

28, heavy snow .

Ya the NAM products are further east with the good dynamics but can’t find a model that doesn’t give someone in Maine an advisory event

Trend is for the secondary to develop later, still I’m surprised by that map

GYX not even remotely interested.

actually a decent airmass in place, last couple runs NAM spins up a weak secondary - that's how you'd get snow to the coast and the higher totals but I'd sell that for now. We've had bad luck this season inside 48 hrs, be nice for something to go right for a change.
