  1. Maaaaaybe 2" in Thornton, nothing from the front end and looks like a max of maybe 2.5" in Lowell based on webcam.
  2. Waterville. At least it's been all snow up there, but I doubt there's more than a few inches. I was hoping for a foot, now I'm hoping for an inch.
  3. Absolute disaster of a storm up here. Rained most of the day, then about an hour of non-accumulating snow to sleet/rain mix, back to snow, but only about 0.1" of slush. 33.1
  4. My ring doorbell is. Looks like some snow trying to mix in.
  5. Southern edge of white mountains. Hills/mountains all around me. BobButts just being a tool.
  6. Temp steady at 37.5. Painful. Took the drone up and it's snowing at 1500'
  7. precip started about 20 minutes ago. Rain 38.4. Snow line looks to be at about 2000'. I'm in Thornton, BTW. Looks like still raining in Lowell per webcam.
  8. Hop on 89 north and you'll probably see the flip around Warner.
  9. 38.4, no precip yet, but I can see snow to my north in the mountains down to about 1500'. The valley was a little colder at about 34 when I woke up this morning. It'll start as rain at my elevation. Be interesting to see when it flips.
  10. NAM gives me an inch up north, but 15+ in Lowell, ECMWF 15+ and inch in Lowell.
  11. Awesome, congrat's on your retirement Walt. Always looked forward to your discussions!
  12. Is Walt still working for NWS these days? I remember him back in the early 90's working out of BOS.
  13. Holy smokes! What did they use Elmer's glue on those conduits?
  14. I bet he's sick of the mid-atlantic rains and eyeing a move into Phin's backyard and elevated another 100' to steal the New England Snow top spot owner.
  15. What's the confidence in 6"+ in southern whites at this point? Maybe 75%?
  16. Wow! But right now it's like trying to drill a 52 yarder.
  17. At least the Stowe season pass is now very reasonable. I remember back just out of college the Sugarbush season pass was about $1500 and that was back in the mid-late 90's. We bought a laminator, printed up college id's. Even when they started requiring a letter from your registrar, we printed those up too and got a phone line with a recording. It was all worth it when a college pass was about $350 and usually included other mountains like Stowe, Jay or MRG. Now that my kids are teens, you really don't get much of a break on a season pass for them, so I only get one for myself (but I get in 40-50 days so it's justified). Our community gets discount passes for WV. I think it's around $50 for a kids day pass and maybe $70 for an adult, but even then my wife and daughter take two or 3 runs and call it a day. It's tough up here though. Even though there may be a lot of jobs, and they're having trouble filling them, the pay is pretty low. Income inequality is nuts. I've put my time in working in restaurants and what not, and even as an entry level civil engineer, I was making crap. But it's a different story when you're self employed. I mean, I don't charge what I could. The rates for a plumber, HVAC, even mechanic are in the $100-150/hr range, sometimes higher. But I'm sure they're probably only bringing home between 1/3 and 1/4 of that. Up north it's probably 1/2 it is in the Boston area.
