  1. 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.
  2. 21 degrees, moderate snow, 6.5” of pure paste
  3. 37 and rain. Pounding snow on the SR webcam. It's gonna be really close here.
  4. 38 degrees and the sun is breaking out unexpectedly. Feels incredible!
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Starting to crush here in western maine .
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. Just saw that Great Glen isn’t even open for skiing yet. Another really tough year in the Whites so far following last years snow drought. Climo says there has to be a snap back at some point, whether that’s later this season or next.
  14. Carson has been posting hate mail to his Instagram account that he's received from viewers complaining that he's too much of a weenie. He's leaning into it, love to see it
  15. radar is filling in to my west. Maybe I pick up more snow from this than Friday hah
  16. Shawnee was the same today. Couldn’t figure out why. My girlfriend mentioned that lots of mass schools are back on distance learning.
  17. Been a tough stretch for them no doubt. This weekend has that look of one that teases us for another 24 hours that trends the wrong way at go time.
