    Flipped back to sleet here as well. Let's see what's under these incoming heavier returns.

    1...0, bingo. just flipped here in Lowell. Don't get me wrong, it's still a very wet snow.
  3. MarkO
    Same here.

    Going back and forth between sleet and snow. Gradually cooling. 34.2/31.0

    Just took another look and it's sleet and and a few mangled flakes. 36.1/30.1. Going to need some better lift/intensity.

    Not happening in Lowell. Drizzle, 37.6/29.4 Edit, went outside to check, sleet here as well.

    LOL, my wife's family is on the other side of the Mt. Hope bridge (Portsmouth). There are many a times (this just another typical example), where I tell them "snow at the cabin, maybe a few inches here in Lowell, but rain in Rain Island". I'm heading north, they'e heading south. My daughter hates snow. Maybe part of the reason she's at URI. They do very well with Benchmark storms. Lots of wind too.

    Eyeballing about 2.5" in Lowell

    55.0 Lowell, 32.6 Thornton. Despite the rain after midnight, still looking very wintry,

    Looks like it flipped to sleet in Thornton.
  11. MarkO
    still snowing at cabin

    About an inch in Lowell, but flipped to rain. Looks like a couple inches already up north. I'm feeling like this one could be an overproducer (NWS forecasting 4-6"). Regardless, it should be a net gainer. Start rebuilding the pack!

    Been hovering at 32.4F pretty much all day. Looks like an inch or so on non-paved surfaces, but it did accumulate on the asphalt too, but less than an inch. Just enough for me to get out there and shovel it off. Looks like more at the cabin. I'm eyeballing about 2 inches, maybe a little more. Temp up there hovered around 31 throughout the day.

    I think it may have been. There was a delay of at least a few seconds. About 200k without power in MA. Still pretty gusty, so don't expect power for at least a few hours.
  15. MarkO
    Quick burst of precip and wind as the front passed through. One flash of lightning, big gust and sound of a transformer blowing. No power in Lowell.

    I'm wondering how conditions will be moving forward? It looks like the larger mountains got between 2 and 5 inches before the flip, ending up with more or less a neutral event, but I'm wondering (maybe Scott can answer best), if this rain can somehow drain, the groomers maybe sit on it (most ski areas closed today) and maybe an inch refresher, will it be bullet proof, or end up with more of just a firm base, but hold an edge kind of conditions?

    if/when they iron out the kinks with that lift, you'll rarely see that lift being more than a 2 minute wait. Doing some quick math, 10k'/hr may be doable, not that you'd ever see me doing that. It does look like the mountains may end up with a net zero after Friday's event. Euro suggests it may even be a gainer. Just not sure how much damage 2" of a 40F rain will do.

    Saturday was excellent at Waterville. 2+ feet of moderately dense snow. Loon was fantastic today. Take advantage of the great conditions because come Satuday expect surfaces to become bullet proof.

    Just got up north. I93 was pretty bad between exits 22 and 25. About 3" OTG, maybe a little more.
  20. MarkO
    Usually I'm in a bit of a snow hole, but this is one of the highest NWS snow forecast maps I've seen for my area in Thornton. Pretty close to the 18-24". Could be an epic powder day. Not too much wind.
  21. MarkO
    Not looking good for the Lowell area. Not that it ever was. I used to hate these events, but now I look forward to the drive north guessing what mile marker I'll see it begin to flip.
  22. MarkO
    Rookie move. The seasoned pro leaves a gift in the form of an upper decker.
  23. MarkO
    6 hr suite have come in a little juicier. Maybe a couple inches for mountains Friday night?
  24. MarkO
    Will be initeresting to see what the euro does.

    Looks like Sunday River beat out Killington to open first... by a few hours.
