Looks like 2" or so in Lowell per webcam. 1,5" in Thornton.

It flipped back to snow at Waterville. It also looks like the cabin only got between 1/2 and 3/4" rain, so a net gainer. Nice base builder.

After 2.7" rain. Pack nearly decimated in Lowell. Temp hit low 50's this AM, but starting to drop now (48.6F). I'd like to know how we did up north. One neighbor said 10" before the flip to rain.

about 12 hours between these two images.

1" of snow before being washed away with the pack. Down to about 4-6" on the ground in Lowell. 50.2F

Flipped to sleet about 5 minutes ago. Fun while it lasted.

Go North !

Man I wish I was retired. I just got back last night. I have a public hearing tomorrow in Dracut. Grrr. Back to dendrites from huge aggregates. Closing in on a quick inch.

It breaks my heart b/c it is absolutely dumping. Temp went from 31.1 to 32.9 back down to 32.4

Spitting snow, 31.1 degrees, no wind.  

Exact same here in Lowell 31.1/29.3 spitting flakes

Weenie flakes in Thornton. It'll be many hours before the main event. 

23.8/19

I can't remember the last time NWS was so bullish on totals 12-18" for Lowell, 5-9" for cabin. I was thinking about 2/3 those totals.

I got wacked by that a week after thanks giving.   Is it a scratchy maddening tickling prickle sensation that sends you into a gag reflex followed be convulsive non-productive vascular headache inducing coughing ?

It fades away ... very slowly, after that first 4 or so days of misery with nose and burning eyes to go along with that.  Some 4 weeks later I still have distancing tendencies to that irritation. 

I've had it since last Thursday. Yesterday seemed to be the worst. Still annoying, it'd moved from my sinuses to the lungs. Is this the RSV people are talking about? Worse than the two episodes with Covid for me.

Ahh crap, why did they have to mention Jay Peak? I might have to make alternate plans.

I'll be at Jay Peak snow or shine.

What a day to be alive.

It’s been 40-41° since 2am

Kinda resembles my brain activity for today. Active, yet perspective given the scale.

That's what my SIL's yard looks like in Portsmouth, RI where I was for Christmas. Her lawn is still growing. I actually enjoyed a cocktail in the sun in the upper 50's. It looked and felt like an early April Easter. That, combined with the recent deluge up north got me thinking how this winter has been a total freaking disaster, especially with nothing to track on the horizon. Sunsets are later, days are getting longer. The freaking ground up at my cabin is not only bare, but not even frozen.

Sorry, had to get it out before I took it out on my dog.

Feel like I'm out west with these chips. The bag is as firm as my 28.97

Waterville issued a "save the snow" day being closed today. They probably couldn't open the lifts anyway due to wind. I wouldn't be surprised if other mountains are closed today as well. They should be able to fire up the guns tomorrow night and nearly run them continuous through the rest of the week. Not like I can ski much anyway. I got the Ikon and Waterville Value pass and I think they're both invalid starting Saturday through the end of the year. 

WMUR lead off with video from the dam down the end of my street. Somewhat surprised as I've only recorded 2.6" in the bucket. https://www.wmur.com/article/campton-new-hampshire-flooding-dam/46165067#

Wildcat report says 10” at Base and more up top. Good weekdays of skiing . No cutters please

I believe it. Was at Santa's Village last night. Huge aggregates and the lights made for a festive evening. There was about 2" on the ground when we left around 6 or so. Back here in Thornton there was about 1/2" on the ground, but temp was 33.4, so it wasn't really accumulating. Got 3" since then, but Waterville is reporting 7" at base and 8" up top. Heading out now.

Heading up north for the weekend. The plan is to take the kids (nieces and nephews) to Santa's Village Sunday afternoon, and leave Monday. But it's looking like there's potential for 6" ovenight Sunday, so maybe a few runs in the AM.

we ski at sunday river and I don't know why they don't install more cams. It's ridiculous they only have one cam facing the chondola from the northpeak lodge. They used to have another at bottom of Southridge (at foggy goggle) but it's been gone for awhile. What's the thinking on limiting cams on the mtn? 

I agree. It used to drive me nuts Waterville didn't do it as well, but they now have live cams at the top and at the base, so it's nice to see what's happening with weather, snow making, if the lifts are running, whether it's too crowded. Crowded lines rarely happened in the past, but not sure if it's Waterville's recent improvements, or the ski industry as a whole, but I've been seeing some pretty busy Saturdays, and some times I just hold off. 

It was nice to get back out onto the mountain on Sunday at WV. The conditions were surprisingly good. Only one icy section of one trail (I should have gotten a quick tune). If you count the few turns I got in at MWN in October, I've skied every month so far this year, woohoo.

It flipped to rain pretty much right after it started. An overall net loss below about 1500'. I see new snow above about 2500' on the hilltops across the valley (Welsh-Dickey).
