  1. Plenty of snow out west. Close to 30' so far this year at Steamboat. Unfortunately for me, they were closed last Wednesday missing out on only one of the two days I could ski. But what a great mountain and a direct flight from BOS to HDN and only about a 25 minute drive to the mountain from the airport. Definitely going back!
  2. balmy 50F. What's the official word from MWN? Trying to decide figure skating world championships or flag football?
  3. -47.1 MWN, -19.5 cabin, -12.5 Lowell. Haven't heard from Kevin, but if he's sitting on a flag pole, he should have used extra lube.
  4. -11.0 coldest I've ever experienced in Lowell. Just ran 1/4 mile with my son in shorts and t's on his birthday.
  5. -14.1F prior to sunset. 20 degrees warmer here in Lowell. 27 degrees colder at MWN. Unreal!
  6. -37.6 -97F wind chill on the rock pile. Looks like -100F is within reach. -7.2F cabin, 11.5 Lowell
  7. My weather station is at 10m as well. I'm somewhat protected with trees, but an opening from the north. I think my all time cold record of -17F is in jeopardy. Wind will probably remain. Largest gust was 33mph. Currently -5.5F
  8. entered the negatives at the cabin -0.1F, 14.4F in Lowell
  9. I skied Jay once after a back to back 30", followed by brutal winds and cold. -17F at base without the wind. I did 2 runs and called it a day. Need the right wax for your skis. The snow makes a squeaking sound when you walk in boots. It sucked! I just checked the ECM snow depth map for Steamboat. Wasn't sure what I was looking at, then noticed it was in the 150"color. The maps don't go beyond that. Heading out 2 weeks from today. Nearly 27 feet since Thanksgiving. Not much in the forecast though. Maybe a couple feet.:D
  10. I remember hearing about it a day or two later. Tragic event, but "Where You'll Find Me" was a good read about her ordeals.
  11. It must have gotten pretty close to -100F windchill on MWN on the 15th of February, 2015. I recorded my fastest wind gust (55mph) and lowest temperature (-17F) in the same night.
  12. Not sure if it's industrywide or not, but the past 2 Saturday's have been the busiest I've seen at Waterville in the past 10 years. Cars were parked alongside the road about 1/4 mile from the Tripoli Road intersection. I think it's great for the industry, but the selfish part of me was like I'm not heading out until noon (which was what I did yesterday). It still was an amazing day. Top 3 for this season. I made a post earlier this season that I didn't think there would ever be more than a 5 minute wait with the new 6-pack bubble lift, but sure enough I'm eating leather. I avoided that lift yesterday and longest line wait was maybe 2 minutes. Even the ride back to Lowell was congested on 93 between exit 20 and the Hookset tolls. That's something I never really have to factor in the winter.
  13. It drives me nuts. I must be shadowed from the NW. I see so many bands north of me on radar, and even to the mountains to my north from my couch, but it's been flurries. Maybe a 1/4 inch today.
