Mid-winter vibe up high today despite only 6” of cover.
-
Nice wintry afternoon with scattered snow showers in the valley and mid-winter cold up on the mountain. 6” of dense sandy snow above 2500ft.
-
What’s not fake is pulling into a parking lot and zero snow on any vehicle… but there’s that one car with snow on it. This guy looks like he came from like 1500ft+.
-
It’s inverted profile. Little known fact only on this board is that unless there is wind present, the real feel temperature is actually incredibly warm on those nights. Sometimes the wx apps will say like “Clear, calm at 19F. Real Feel of 47F.” That’s why DIT said folks are sweating despite the low temps.
-
The cold front is moving through, maybe bringing a quick couple inches at the mountain. This would bring this current WAA and then CAA event to 6” at 3,000ft over 48 hours.

No AC for sure. Just a bedroom fan.
-
Bravo sir! Well done!
-
Man what a classic web cam image that would be. Dendy just push mowing through that with snow and grass getting shot out the side.
-
I do wonder if opinions or posts on here would change if real money was on the table. I believe TanBlizz would still be all in on warm/above normal temps… but I would be interested if Wolfie was all in on cooler temps in the long range, once money becomes involved. Odds would also be interesting. It’d sort of be putting your money where your mouth is and see how that changes the tone.

I wish Draft Kings or something put odds that folks could bet on and settle the cold vs warm back and forth discussions. These probability maps make me think someone should put odds the anomalies.

Fully expect an EasternMassWx blog about it over the weekend.
-
Can always look forward to a possible upslope event before the torch. I know many would be waiting on the edge of their seats, ha.

There’s definitely a hangover effect too from the past season. Weather or sports even… have a fun season previously, people give a lot more latitude before going totally pessimistic. Have a rough past season and that start of the next year is not getting any benefit of the doubt. Like a pessimism hangover.
-
Yeah same here. Just got home, still covered but now with some grass blades poking through a wet inch. Trees still got snow on them. I’ll take it for the date.
-
First real winter like day. Leaving the office and trees are glistening in a light glaze, 2” of crusty snow and looks like the hotel pavers were turned on in the village, ha. 31F.
-
I thought they wouldn’t have but still running top to bottom.
-
Pouring pingers now. 30F.
-
1.5” here, dry slot.
-
0.75sm -SN. Out with the dog for her morning business. 29F
-
Miss all the trees at high speed powder explosions in the woods, then get crutches from slipping and falling under the truck while loading the skis. Sounds like a day of skiing. Anyway, nice to see a WAA up. Think we see 1” then IP/ZR and drizzle in PM.
-
Until you’ve walked down a set of steep stairs in ski boots, it’s hard to know lol. Like all the memes that say the most dangerous thing you did at a ski resort was walk downstairs to the basement bathrooms in a base lodge .
-
Ha, personal injury lawyers salivating at slip and falls. No one is worried about it until they do it. I won’t lie, I haven’t hurt myself skiing 100+ days a year except back when I was 10 years old… I hit a tree and broke my wrist… but I have dislocated my knee walking around Stowe in ski boots and slipping. A surprising amount of injuries come from having thousands of people walking around on snow/ice every day. That’s the irony of it.
-
Yeah there’s been an upslope signal bouncing around out there day 5-8 off and on recently. GFS likes it. Pavers aren’t on yet but probably go on the 17th if the place opens. In a world run by lawyers, god forbid someone slips and falls somewhere they are visiting almost solely for the winter weather. Gotta love the irony.
-
PWS hit 38F here and now 28F.
-
It is legit cold today. Sitting 15F up top and 28F here at the office at 1,500ft as of 12:30pm. Snow guns blasting outside here in the base area.
