    Clown range Euro is cooking up a monster....clown range as it is, but ensembles have also been hinting at that mid-month period for something bigger.

    Please just one 20 incher this month would be so nice.

    You'd be surprised.  My boss was looking at a new Ford truck and they were going to tack on a $5k fee above the sticker because they said that's what the market is demanding now and dealer stock is so limited everywhere.  This was at Jack Madden.

    With Ford trucks that's typical right now. Cars are different depending on the make/dealer. We just bought a new car and paid sticker, tried to get them down and they said no dice. The good news if we got a good price on the existing car so it all evens out.

    9F here for my low.  Coldest of the season. 
    Been so long since I have had below zero

    You will be in about a week, I should get there too. All guidance shows good cold coming down.

    No I did not. I’m right after all. 14 to 20 inches on the map. Right where I was…. And guarantee it was closer to 20.

    I remember the forecast leading up to it as well was something on the order of forecasting 10 to 20 inches but most people got screwed evidently

    There was up to 20 inches in the west and the east, the middle got porked, where I live, I think I got 5-6 inches.

    Winter temperatures have returned.  Still a total glaciated pack but not more than 4 or 5".   Since I have lots of family in the Baltimore/DC area I have been messaging all day with my friend Bob Turk who is the TV met down there.  What a tough forecast.  Very sharp north cutoff through the metro.  No excitement here.  

    It's been a real sharp cutoff, I'd rather have it miss me by 100 miles than be on the fringe and get a half inch.

    Just walked the dog and can feel this damp “winter” muck finally moving out. Chilly breeze was refreshing. About time…

    Feels good, just brought a load of wood in and fired up the wood stove.

    This holiday week wasn’t an outrageously snowy period for skiing around here in the Northern Greens, but it was actually quite nice in terms of temperatures and conditions.  We had a number of days with temperatures in the upper 20s F to around freezing, and an inch or two of new snow here and there to add at least a bit of freshening.  Overall it was far superior to holiday weeks where there’s been a huge melt out or wall-to-wall subzero temperatures that make skiing impractical.

    There’s clearly enough natural snow for Bolton to have their Wilderness Uphill Route and associated terrain open for ski touring, so that was definitely a plus, and it looks like the area saw plenty of use from skiers.  Lift-served terrain at the mountain is still somewhat limited as they continue with snowmaking, but they’ve got Hard Luck open for some steep skiing on top of the usual early season routes.

    My wife and I were out for a snowshoe tour Monday on the backcountry network, I went ski touring in the Wilderness area on Wednesday, and then we skied lift service on Thursday, so I’ve added a few shots from the holiday week below.

    Not a deep pack but looks wintery at least.

    I mentioned a couple of times PD1, standing on the beach in Misquamicut watching a wall of snow offshore.  Pete Repete

    Talk about a sharp cutoff, that's almost a perfectly straight line.

    You have had a deep winter thus far. So has Phin and Slot and Lava and Jayhawks and C and N VT. South of that general line has blown dongs that curve to the left and to the right . We have had no winter . It’s been perpetual spring . Our angst is real 

    Compared to us they have, I haven't burned the wood stove the last couple of days it's been so mild. Looks cold tomorrow night into Monday so I'll fire it up tomorrow.

    Winter Classic (NHL) looks fun.  Air temps of -5F with wind chill of -20F (Minneapolis) 

    Wheeeeeee!!!!

    I remember the first was in Canada, I think Edmonton and it was -20, the people that bought a beer turned to slush by the time they got back to their seat.
