Whitefield (what I assume you’re referring to)-Too much of a snow hole close to the river.

Maine will likely have the cheapest and most rural land but has less "charm" than the villages of VT... Something up by Sugarloaf and Saddleback (soon to reopen)... Also can get property on a lake up there which is always nice for summer fun. It doesn't get quite as much snow as Northern VT, but it's far better in terms of retention.

Montana Snow Bowl today.

Just booked a last minute impulse trip to Montana for Presidents’ Day weekend. Flying into Missoula, going to ski three days. Probably one at Montana SnowBowl and two at Lost Trail. Lost Trail tickets are $49/day for 325” of snow per year and 1000 acres. Snow Bowl is $52/day for 300” and 900 acres. Can’t beat it.

Just drove Westchester to Boston after work. Was hoping for bent trees on Mt Tolland, but nope, just a wet road.

Snowing hard in NYC. Sticking to the roads on the UES. Looks like there will be a lull though after this initial band.

Roads starting to whiten on the UES. First accumulating snowfall since I moved in December from Dallas so it’s nice to see!

I skied Hunter yesterday.. It was hard but manageable until about noon and then just got really really slick after that. Still banged out 27 runs from 9:15-2... Not hard when you’re skiing fast and the high speed lifts have no lines!

Anyone skied Hunter lately? Debating whether I want to drive up from the city in the AM to get some NYD turns in (I have the Peak Pass). Obviously expecting lots of ice/scratch but want to make sure trails are well covered...

Pinging here on the UES in NYC... nice to post in these threads again after 5 winters in Texas.

Sitting at gate at Logan heading back to DFW and watching the storm out of the big windows in Terminal B. It literally collapsed... Oh well, I see plenty of storms in DFW.

I got evacuated off the summit double chair at Waterville Valley a few years ago. Kind of had always been a “bucket list” item for me but I have no real interest to have it happen again.

I live right on the Plano/Frisco line at the DNT/Sam Rayburn and much like in Fort Worth, the temp is at 32 here but nothing is icing. Just wet and nasty.

I don't post here much anymore as I'm no longer in college and don't make it back to Mass as much... But looks awesome! Very jealous... I'm planning a January/February ski trip (also hoping to ski a day or two around Xmas in NE). Probably going to ski four days.. Looking at interior BC... I've skied Fernie and Kicking Horse before and enjoyed both immensely. However, for this trip I'm looking at the powder highway (Whitewater and Red) and then the areas further north closer to Kelowna (Apex, Silverstar, Big White, Sun Peaks, etc)? Any thoughts on pros/cons between the two?

Pretty nice thunderstorm here in Frisco for the first time in a while. Had some friends down in Addison that lost power.

Never have lost power for more than an hour in Concord over the last 20 years... Also has their own power company.

Dumping here in Concord smack dab in the middle of that band.

I know this thread isn't 100% related to what my question is, but it was the first one to show up in my search so..... Here I go! I'm a junior in high school who is interested in Meteorology, but right now I'm thinking I may be inclined to major in Aerospace engineering as it is a subject I really enjoy as well and the job prospects seem somewhat better. It is obviously a bit early, but I am compiling a list of prospective colleges to look at/apply to... So far, these are some of the schools on my list.. -University of Texas -University of Washington -Georgia Tech -Rice University -University of California San Diego As might be able to tell, I am not really into staying around New England, but that could change. So after all that background, my question becomes, do any of these schools have Meteorology programs, and if so, what are their reputations? If I start college and don't like Aerospace, it'd be good to have Met as a fallback. Also, if there any other schools you guys think of that might suit my desires, I'm open to suggestions.

I honestly really enjoy that 6 inch or so event here in metrowest at the end of February...I had just returned home from Utah and hadn't been paying attention to the weather and Sunday morning I woke up to four inches on the ground with snow falling. Sometimes its nice not to over-analyze like we do here.
