Normal for today is 36/18 here. Today was 19/-10 (hi/lo). After 26/6 and 26/10 days. The warmest in these first 5 days of December was 37/10 (-4 departure). The first 5 days have been -10.5 Short sample size but high-end cold for this time of year.

Have to watch the clipper for a little regional refresh.

HIE and Alex the early leaders tonight out of the gate at -4F .

9F

-10F for a low so far.

3am and -6F. What a night. SLK at -20 already.

It’s so bright outside. 3/-8 here. -1F at 1,500ft and -10F at 3,600ft. Also feels like the surface of the moon.

On Christmas Day.

SLK at 5F… haha @WxWatcher007 in a different world now.

Car said 9F leaving the mountain and 11F at home. Windy. Light snow. Not fake.

All joking aside, these are some truly rugged conditions outside at the mountain. Full-on whiteouts and howling wind. Even the ASOS in the valley is registering the rare M1/4 under quarter mile vis… METAR KMVL 041825Z AUTO 34015G21KT M1/4SM +SN VV009 M08/M11

A far cry from 2015-16 worst winter ever when everyone was telling us to stop bitching lol.

Yeah 3-4” of fluff and still coming at the Mtn.

Ebb and flow of climate is interesting. We were not on a heater there in some of those SNE 2010s seasons. But it’s been a run the past two seasons.

Crushing snow. Mansfield stake depth at #1 all-time (since 1954) for the date at 47”.
