Its been cranking here as well. I was surprised to see all the school districts closed but the timing is tough. If this keeps up for a couple more hours we will bust high. 

Ya we’ll see, this moves through quick but rates are decent. Gonna try and get up to the mountain in a few hours 

32, heavy snow

Going to be a snowy day in the NW part of Maine tomorrow.

Perfectly timed refresh for the trails and slopes 

Good 18z runs for tomorrows event. nams bring snows to the coast and keep the event going into Saturday morning. GYX may have to expand those advisories 

23 degrees and freezing drizzle

Ya it's def not a BN look going into Feb but I still like where the cold is. That's a look that could torch much of the CONUS while we wedge. That SWFE thing on the 24th is worth keeping an eye on for NNE.

No changes 

Real currier and Ives look out there right now. Meanwhile models are picking up on the CAD signal for Friday. Starting to think we trend that into a 2-4” to snizzle type event for my area. 

Just drove from western Maine to pico. State of the snow pack east to west is typical. My area to Conway is loaded, you can tell the CAD winners, Lincoln and CRV snow holes, central VT spine decent but less pack than in western Maine.

But I’m the one 5 posted?  SMH

Let’s see you forecast a snowstorm first. I’ve had a bunch recently 

It’s like coyote hunting. Just have to lay the bait and then the mangy beasts come in to scavenge. 

Congrats on the torch 

Pope is yelling about 2m temps, and no sign of tiger, forky, or qp mega. Does this mean winter isn’t canceled because I thought it was 

Been a great stretch in NNE. After Wednesday system we relax a bit and then hopefully reload early Feb. Main thread is a dumpster fire 

Might as well just cancel March while we’re at it too 

Fully expect more favorable winters to return to the NE. But can’t deny CC either.

We watch, We wait, In the meantime, Its time to hit the trails, Going north this weekend and next weekend too, Have to make lemonade when you have the lemons.

It’s another beautiful winter day out today. Headed to the mountain right now. Have a great time this weekend, cold weather should keep some of the idiots off the trails 

I feel for folks in CNE and SNE. Our last several winters have barely worked because when it's not been hostile we've squeezed out a lot of marginal events. Still a bad stretch starting in 19-20 here.

Snowblower was happy about the cold snow:)

5” at the house, 9F, never went above 15F yesterday.

Hero powder skiing this morning, saw the sun waiting for patrol to finish their morning laps

Curious what the hills pull out of the sky tonight



.

Jet and the terrain it accesses is some of the more underrated skiing in VT. Jay gets the love for the trees and it should but I’ve spent some very happy days just lapping that lift. 

Just a perfect blue bird winter day out there today. Skiing this morning will probably end up a top 5 day of the season at our local hill. Conditions and weather were like front range CO. Love these days. 

Looks like we’ll finish up with about 4”. 25” in the last 10 days. Not a bad stretch for my area which does not do upslope. 

There’s a 2-3 day warmup coming. Even despite that it’s a look that’s could still work for NNE with a well timed high and some CAD. Beyond that there’s strong ensemble support for the cold reloading and this time it’s in our backyard with a ridge out west. 

“Sea of warmth through mid Feb” where do people find this stuff. Does anyone look at models or is just feelings now 

Not what some on the Board want to hear but that warmup way out there in guidance keeps moderating and then cold does reload but this time the core is closer to us in Eastern Canada. Not a frigid look but could work for many. Folks expecting weeks of 2m temps below freezing in coastal SNE have unrealistic expectations of their climo imo. 

1.5” in todays squall. Enough to get the plows out again here. Days and days of snow as they say
