  1. Yep, especially when you were posting about Steve's D or whatever it was, we knew you had an iron grip on it.
  2. Had a few random questions that I figured would fit best in this thread if anyone has knowledge about it: Was curious if snowguns/snowmaking equipment can be dialed in for water content if needed. Or, is it simply air pressure and water forced through a nozzle? Is there a standard water content for man-made snow? Is there a prime percentage resorts go for when making snow? i.e.: 10:1, 15:1, etc Is there any core data from man-made snow? Do resorts ever have a need to check that?
  3. Did you give them a hand?! "Doc, a little to the left. No! Give me that, I got this..."
  4. I'm sensing a theme here as this thing has trended poorly... "moving quickly and entering the back side of the L/W..."
  5. Regardless of this all ultimately plays out, from my standpoint the depth of the ongoing analysis in here has been excellent and really informative. There have been a lot of quality posts hiding in this thread that have been interesting to follow as this thing has evolved.
  6. Psss....stop being pragmatic! It may be contagious!
  7. That’s interesting and the visual is really helpful - Thanks
  8. I think I get the gist of part 1 here, but does someone have a non-Tip explanation of part 2? I'm good up to the "biased/stretched toward said convection" part but get lost thereafter
  9. That's crazy! I'm going to have to get out and about today to see the difference from where I'm at. Maybe if I was doing legit clearing/measuring the total would be different, but my little snowstake has been untouched and reflected a storm total of about 14" roundtrip. I'm probably no more than 8 miles max in a straight line from Portsmouth, Kittery and Dover and that seems like a huge difference. To be fair, we've got some massive snowbanks here and the plowing took some effort. It's not impossible that my stake is too close to the house/patio and has some sort of blocking going on, but who knows...?
  10. From left to right, Sunday morning before snow started, Monday morning, Monday at dusk and Tuesday morning.
  11. I prefer a little more substance with the first post in these threads, but this'll do...
  12. Crazy that you guys got near 20"! I'm within walking distance from Adam's Point (not directly on the water) which isn't too far from either of you. Maybe the bay has some sort of influence to chronically keep numbers down?
  13. Hopefully more coming today…? Looks like 11” after settling overnight. Confidence seemed high for twice that.
  14. Not familiar with that but it looks like the whole bag of DIX is pushing NE which we'll take!
  15. We're still in arctic sand mode out this way. Ran out through Newmarket out to Epping about an hour ago and it was the same throughout. Looking for that changeover soon!
  16. Here’s my official Before photo and measurement - don’t accept any substitutes. It may not be accurate at 4” but from here on out it will be more accurate-er.
  17. We'll see how this whole thing eventually plays out over the next 24-36 hours and know for sure. Have fun with the Grammys!
