    Ha it was in jest as a joke. Personally, I want it over like metro-west of BOS, lol. I feel like it’s my duty as a white walker north of the wall for a comment here and there… but in reality it is nice to see enthusiasm and hope again on the forum. It feels a bit like the old days on here for the past 48 hours or so.

    That’s one helluva band right through ALB airport area.

    Ugh.

    Yup, it was 3” in 24 when I posted that. Two hours later it’s 5”. Really not much difference between 1,500ft and 3,000+ feet. 1” last night and 4” since 6am.

    4” overnight plus today up there? Must be a sweet powder day. Its been snowing for a couple hours (1”/hr) and about 2” new today after 1” overnight. This is accumulations since about 9-10am in the base area.
  6. powderfreak
    It must be, only does it during standard time. Unlikely to show feet of snow during daylight savings time.

    I couldn’t resist . It was either that or post something about how that run is suppressed. I’ll go back to watching from a distance and come back on Sunday when it starts to unravel again.

    Meh, need more amp than that.
  9. powderfreak
    We just don’t know. Could be lower.

    180 hours out. Unlikely as modeled but the chances will be there as the seasonal baroclinic zone sags south in the means.

    While we are into a thaw, today was an incredible day. 30-40 degrees on the hill, chalky packed powder up high, a bit of hero snow on the lower half. You know it’s going to change in 24 hours with rain arriving tonight, but today was about living in the moment. A fine November stretch… from 4,000ft to 1,500ft has been beefed up so far.

    That is a crazy sequence of events in the final week to Christmas. Is it better to have loved and lost, than not have at all? This was 2015 Stowe/Mansfield on Christmas Day. Only Xmas Day since 1954 with no snow on the ground at the Co-Op stake. This November reached a higher snow depth than was seen at any point during that 2015-16 winter.

    Doesn’t he post pics of a Christmas tree farm? Someone on here does. Or they just like rows of 3-7 foot tall trees in their yard.

    Yeah we can take the 36 hour thaws but need to avoid a 72-hr bloodbath with 1”+ rain.
  15. powderfreak
    Hard to hate the start so far too. Even low elevation woods are ok… we’ll see in a couple days though, haha.
  16. powderfreak
    Should help preserve the snowpack a bit more?
  17. powderfreak
    You looking for Bob’s old juice, huh. 30F

    End of day finally tried to clear up a bit right as the sun was going down.
  19. powderfreak
    Yeah we just have a crusty couple inches in the yard and the fields are melted out. Highly elevation dependent start to winter. Only saw 3” total 24 hrs at all plots at Mansfield, like you said. But looks like adding another inch at Lookout since the flip this morning. Academic but guess it’s now 4” up there in 36 hours.

    Late afternoon, wintry vibe, getting dark fast. Crowds have left, being a Sunday in November. Folks have work and school on Monday. Key football games going on. Its been an odd mix of November feel, but midwinter vibes to start the season up north.

    Your writing and prose is topnotch. Always very well explained. Writing like that, with such great storytelling, is a massive skill in itself, even aside from the meteorological portion.

    Even from NNE, that was good to click through and see. Graphics are great and that must've taken a ton of work to make happen. Kudos.

    Just a half inch today on colder surfaces at home. Roads wet. Got up to 34F as the warm front moved through. 2" at 3,000ft though.
  24. powderfreak
    Surprisingly decent snow this morning with the clipper warm front. ASOS down to 1 mile steady -SN. METAR KMVL 231545Z AUTO 00000KT 1SM -SN BR BKN020 OVC036 M01/M03 A2991

    One of the best opening days in history. 85% of terrain off the FourRunner Quad open and fair game. Absolutely insane coverage too. All of this in the photos on natural snow. 59 trails, 258 acres. 50% of Stowe’s skiable terrain. And that’s only with 50” falling… can’t imagine what 93” would do
