How many times have we disproven the warm ground doesn’t matter if it’s snowing steadily and hard? We’ll get May accums if it’s ripping 0.1”/hr water.

It literally just happened yesterday a couple counties north of him.

How did it easily accumulate just north of you yesterday during the daylight hours? The warm ground didn’t care… it snowed moderately to heavily.

Looks nice! Only a half inch here followed by some freezing mist.

Impressive DBZ in that core.

Cold day, snowpack wasn’t going anywhere on the hill. This evening it’s 13F up top and 17F in the base area. A decent cold airmass intrusion today.

It does look like salty residue but the fact that others near the ocean don't see that... I've seen a lot of snow melt but never seen a white residue. Anything around you that would put particulates in the air?

Like not a passing flurry? Nothing? That does seem hard to pull off at that latitude. Got one more week left.

Cant fail either.

10F and windy up here at Mtn Ops… 1F at top of the lifts. Wind chill -20. Hard pass.

Yeah you’re probably doing well on the west slope with this. We are tapering off after 2” or so at 1500ft and 3.5” at 3000ft. Heated plaza still on for Will/ORH.

Snowing and gusts to 50mph.

It’s been impressive. At elevation, or down in the Champlain Valley… a winter with a strong low level jet over the area, consistently.

Interesting. I don't read causation or politics into it unless it is specifically called out. I read it as this "But that goes to show you how warm we have gotten." Could be cyclical, could have some human influence? That statement doesn't really care why, it's just a general fact that we seem to be trending upward on our long-term data sites. This probably sounds incredibly naive, but the topic to me is multi-faceted... so someone saying it is warmer now than it was, when they or their parents were kids... I don't read that as everyone needs to sell their truck and buy a Tesla. It can just be something that is just happening. Argue the causation elsewhere, but making the observation on the data...

Huh? Where in this thread was the discussion about causation? Honestly, maybe I missed it. Coastalwx just said "But that goes to show you how warm we have gotten." And it was off from there.

Solid torch this week. Snow just very patchy now in town. A week ago… Today…

I honestly have never seen someone so triggered by this. To the point you can’t even joke about it. No one mentioned causes for it. Just that it’s warmer.

See I think we are in the sweet spot. There will be complaints once the dews come up. Hand up here. Top 10 day criteria changes throughout the season, but folks love warm, dry, sunny with long daylight.

I don’t think it would matter to me one way or another to be honest. I enjoy the frosty AM, shorts in PM. Feels like spring as it should be, even if it’s well above normal lol. Nights of yore, days of Greta. Plenty of time this summer for dews and elevated mins.

64 here off a min of 24… the best days are the 40 degree diurnal days. Low RH fire weather where the snow has melted. First shorts of the season.

It snowed dry powder in Florida this winter. It’s all good. Who knows what will happen.

The most active game cams are definitely next to water. Water funnels the bigger game to any land bridge... be it coyote, deer, bear, etc. High-quality image you got too at night.

What a great spot for a cam.

21F and a sunny morning.

Euro from 18z makes even more sense. Its going to be hard to get good snows anywhere if its a progressive frontal wave… ME/NH mtns favored due to late wave development. Verification being less robust and NE of current progs seems like the safe play here.
