NAM really scours out the cold air at the surface quicker than other models and no CAD to speak of like you mention. I’m tempted to believe it and toss other models for now. Still think my 2-4 imby call is good and would hedge towards lower end atm. Should be a nice sloppy mess, kinda how I like my t-day meal

Just going by climo this next system will be a nice snower for mountains of Maine NH NVT. Battleground on the edge of the CP here as it always is with these marginal systems. 2-4” first call.

Also while the OP gets drunker, GEFS continues to say look out mountains

Who cares how the next few weeks verify? Lots of eye candy on the OPs, with system after system. It’s only mid November, we’re tracking, what more can you ask for? Trolls gonna troll

Ways to go but GFS has my attention for next week. That’s a solid look on the mean for the mountains. Guess I’ll be expediting winter yard prep this weekend.

I have been in Drummondville, QC for work this week. It snowed moderately all day here. Probably accumulated about 2 inches. Nice wintry vibe. Really enjoying it before return to stick season.

First frozen of the 23-24 season here. Ice pellets 47degrees

Sounds like they got him at his house in bowdion. Stand off situation

Every op and ensemble has a plowable event for far NNE. Love to see it, let's go!

Declivity series one of the finest skis out there right now. I have skied and loved them in all waist widths. I still have a 102 in my quiver. Back to back with enforcer, mantra, stance, etc. I think it’s a better ski. Armada makes a great all mountain ski, starting with the invictus series, but their brand recognition and top sheet graphics have always been meh

Different person

Friends in Lisbon say the helicopter traffic is crazy over their house. He’s less than a mile from them

Glad you are safe. Hitting way too close to home.

Every country has mental health issues. Only we (and Yemen I believe) have more guns than people. This will never stop. People won’t give up their guns, congress will never pass common sense reform, this is America.

North Conway market is bizarre. Enormous amount of skier visits to go around but mismanagement and lack of investment has the market heavily lopsided to cranmore and BW. New quad at attitash is a step in right direction for vail to try and get back visits lost. I think there is space for an indy like Black in NoCo but it’s an uphill battle. Mt Abram is a good comp - operating on borrowed time with old lifts and snowmaking infrastructure that can’t go on forever, and no real shot at the $20 million investment it will take to replace. I sometimes wonder if nonprofit would be the best route for some of these places (like Black Mountain of Maine)- lean heavily into access for local and underserved communities. Maybe a better shot at financing $20 million from private philanthropy and government grant programs. I wonder if Granite Backcountry Alliance (a 501) will take a real hard look at Black.

Koinu is hammering Taiwan: https://x.com/collingrosswx/status/1709732722887815290?s=46&t=U4LztOI79hkc3bILWv8jEg .

looks like it gets pretty gnarly for a period on Monday.

Worst we’ve seen of the smoke so far at the moment.

That h5 trough digging to baja on the long range ensembles is giving me weenie deja vu in a bad way.

Very meh, good day for stacking wood. Henri was far more impactful imby

Appreciate the sentiment but not in Lewiston

Lee is massive no doubt. Still think winds underperform at my longitude and inland location though. Cool to see Sebago Lake light up on some of the higher res models though. GYX commented on the potential for winds south and east shores of the Lake.

I'm 200 miles from Eastport. The variable for damage here is wind direction and any downslope enhancement from the Whites. Fryeburg may gust higher than me. Not trying to downplay, there's gonna be outages and property damage but it's a hard forecast for mby. And obviously there's lot of time for this to go either direction. Model consensus right now says NAM is too far west.

NAM really is on it's own with Lee making landfall in Eastport. A few more tics east and this is meh for us.

My hope as well. NAM is also a lot further west than the globals fwiw. Not gonna matter for most folks in Maine but could make a difference for those of us a bit further west.
