I can’t remember. Even those big Feb torches of 2017 and 2018 occurred without a cutter. I was saying a few weeks ago how hard it is to go full blown cutter in Feb but here we go….
-
That would great. This has been a mini weenie spot this winter since we hit on some of the coastals that fringed Conway, bethel and the eastern whites and Mahoosucs.
-
Gonna be there for an industry event Tuesday. Will be hard to leave 4-6” here if that’s the way it works out though. That’ll send this stretch into memorable status for here. Shoot if we end up with what some models are advertising here I may just not bother with Waterville at all.

I’ve been skiing and haven’t measured but it’s still snowing here. We’ve got to be exceeding double digits at this point but I’ll confirm soon.
-
Snow quality is the same here. Really good day on the hill.

Looking good .

Pound town in western Maine .

NAM performed better than the other mesos but was still off by about 10 miles for my area. Actually yesterday's 18z 3k may have nailed it.

21 degrees, moderate snow, 6.5” of pure paste

Flipped to wet snow in Bridgton. 35
-
37 and rain. Pounding snow on the SR webcam. It's gonna be really close here.

someone who tossed the NAM

can we toss it yet?
-
38 degrees and the sun is breaking out unexpectedly. Feels incredible!
-
No doubt. But there doesn't seem to be any wholesale pattern changes advertised which is good news. Give us the moisture during peak climo and let's roll the dice. It's hard to go full on torch cutter in early Feb in NNE.
-
GFS has had a train of systems for a few runs now, and other than that D7-8 period there is cold air nearby. That's what you want to see at this lead. Not buying 50's in the usual NNE CAD spots at this point.
-
15-16 was a rat so I think your talking about 16-17? That was an epic stretch here. Best conditions I’ve ever experienced at Shawnee peak. All for it to wash away in 60 degree temps the following week, which was made worse by the fact it was feb. vacation for schools
-
Gfs has had that mini torch for a few runs. Lots of time for that to be muted or turn into a full on melt.
-
I’m still at 33
-
31, pinging now
-
29 degrees, moderate snow, 6” so far. Hoping we can hold off the changeover for another 45 min or so. East winds were ripping at the summit of Shawnee Peak but not really mixing down in town. Snow is lighter and fluffier than I expected, no power issues so far.

Starting to crush here in western maine .

Monitoring a potential important TV to East Coastal storm: Jan 17

fugly, but aren't these the classic NW NAM runs? -
I have no doubt about this but as you mentioned skier traffic plays a huge role. I ski the River and love it early and late season and then avoid it almost entirely during Jan. and Feb. when the skier traffic pick ups. Even on weekdays there’s usually better skiing to be had elsewhere. I also think the hills with less trail acreage can generally put out a better product if they have a skilled crew because they simply have fewer miles to cover.

Agreed that things can change but unless this shifts significantly west I’m selling that warm nose for my area up to you and buying the strength of the antecedent cold. There’s some very cold air in place when this starts that will not give up without a fight.
