Beware the wind. at Cannon SR was closed today wind holds

Gonna be lot of pissed off skiers around NNE on Sunday driving up all stoked thinking they’re getting a pow day just to sit on wind hold. Saturday is the day but roads will be gnarly so will keep some off the hill. Shaping up well for locals

Coast and the Coastal plain is the wildcard up here, Back beyond that, Its a lock for mainly all snow.

I've seen plenty of setups like this where Naples is more or less out and I am in. Tip makes a good point about the antecedent airmass. Ironically it's one of the better ones we've had all season.

Nam does very well with sniffing out warmth in marginal setups, I wouldn't discount it.

That’s where I’m at right now.

Quite solid actually if its correct, A lot of those looks like the 12z RGEM.

Euro/Canadians vs Nam/GFS.

F that. you're too generous. If we got another 12" that would put us at 52" seasonal. the way this winter ran, I can't give it more than D-. 

With the decent January stretch we had here it’s hard for me to go D-. Right now it’s a D but if this next system ends up producing I might go C-. We’ll need double digits for me to consider though 

Not a bad member in the euro suite. Is this the NAM and its NW bias or is it sniffing out the warmth better than other models? Think you need to lean NAM for now.

I'm at 40.2" on the season, 75" is avg, Don't think we will get there but 2015-16 was 50.1" worst in at least the last 25 yrs may have a shot.

I’m at 46” maybe an outside shot at 60” which would be little less than 75% climo. So maybe a C- winter is still in reach

That has the look of some 2-3"/hr rates where it remains all snow.

I would be pretty close to spiking a football conway-bethel-farmington. That was the south tic I was looking for at 18z. Hope to see GFS follow. My area is still borderline but getting close. Either way someone in Maine is gonna get their biggest storm of the season.  

big hit on 18z euro. whites to mahoosucs smoked. SR special. 

06z euro more amped for this weekend, looks more GFS like. 

for tonight’s system

The wind is going to be a problem tomorrow.  Snows falling sideways up at Stowe.  And the flow isn’t even that strong.  It really ramps up tomorrow.

For sure. We’re prepared with skins and are here through Tuesday. Just nice to be back in winter: cold, windy, snowy, yore 

Just arrived at Jay. Heavy snow and windy currently. Every time I make this drive from western Maine I’m left thinking, what a snow hole Littleton NH is. Glad we don’t live there

Where were you?

Top of white cap. We got the rope drop on shockwave and then after a few turns it went. So close you had the feeling of oh shit 

Flipped back to heavy snow in this last band

Awesome 

Made my day. Skiing is good but that was sick 

Intense thunder snow just shut down SR. Very close strike to where we were skiing.
