Damage!

to my house, truck, wallet or liver? Or all of the above. Working on second 3 finger pour of Makers Mark.

70' Norway Spruce took out my railing and likely totaled my truck. Happened at 8:29.57 this AM according to the ring doorbell. I was sleeping in my basement. Neither me, nor my daughter heard it, but I woke up at 8:30. Coincidence?

Great day at Bretton Woods. Cream cheese, woods were great.

Snow's used to open up for season pass holders (before my first season pass), but I've AT'd it before. It faces southwest. Someone told me it was the "original" ski area at Waterville. 

Anyway, glad you enjoyed your day. We usually hit the White Peaks express most of the day, but after years of skiing the same trails off it, it gets boring, so I find myself going over to Green Peak, or even laps up the tee bar to the top. I noticed there was only one trail closed that day, Tangent, my favorite. Old school, no snow making and from it you can hit Preston's Path (under the old double that hasn't run in years), or periphery. 

Next year they upgrade White Peaks with a 6 pack lift, and supposedly in a few years they're supposed to expand terrain east of Green Peak and will have a gondola connecting the village to the mountain. 

The one thing I don't care about for Waterville is most of the trails face northeast, so they really don't get much sun until mid/late February, but I guess that probably helps with snow retention. 

Looks to be about 2"

I’ll be at Waterville on Tuesday for a Gear Day to test next year’s products… never been, looking forward to a foray into NH ski country.

Nice!

Check out Tangent to Preston's Path, and Governor's Run. And if you have some time, check out our little mountain, Campton Mountain. Only about 3 or 4 minutes from 49. It's not open during the week, but we're planning on expanding our snow making over this summer so that maybe we can open up a couple days during the week.

9.5" and still snowing lightly. What an epic day of skiing. No actual measurements, but seemed to be 15-18" at Waterville.

woke to about 4", looks like the sleet/snow line is about 10-15 miles south of me., 30.7

back to  sn 50/50. 31.9

90% ip, snow. 31.6. Radar showing sleet.

feel like l'm straddling the line about 25% snow, 31.7. How does one define sleet? Warmer layer above me seems likely.

back to mostly snow. 31.8

Made me get out off the couch. Nailed it. About 50/50 right now.

Bi aggregates mixing in 31.8

32.9  Mostly light snow but at times seems like it mixes back.  bit of an accumulation on rails

Good report Mark.  I'm at the latitude between Exit 23 and Exit 24.

Bigger flakes. I doubt there's anything above be above 32, but looks like warm layer coming in around 6000', we'll see. 31.9

Just got back up here. Was grainy between exit 24-25, all snow by exit 27. About 1/2 OTG. 32.3F

Temp dropping, but I expect a few more hours before it flips. 

37.0/34.9

NAM 3k got me right on the sleet/snow line. Probably end up with an inch of sleet followed by an inch of snow.

Looks to be a significant winter storm event from the Lakes Region north. QPF in the 1.5-2" range. Not much in the DGZ, but 12-18" looks likely.

So I just got back from the gym ...

Holy hell!!

Took almost 20 min to got 1.5 mi.

Snow stepped up, while there, worst of the whole storm ( Ayer )..  We got est 3" in just a little over an hr, and it still snowing hard.  It thought by rad trends and out of doors it was tapering off. Jesus Christ.  1/10th of mi vis stuff. 

Est now I got close to 10 or 11" out of this

Just got back from the local Asian market. Agreed. Got an inch in 20 minutes. 

Finally getting the goods. Good growth, vis down to about 1/8 mile. Won't last long but great finale.

Incredible. I keep expecting the radar to collapse and it's not. Must still be intensifying or something.

I was going to mention the snow growth has improved despite the lighter return echoes. About 10" in Lowell. 

Some of these photo's south of Boston are pretty incredible and they're still in it for many more hours.

30 burgers for many.

Radar total. Some impressive numbers.
