    There’s a growing apathy in society. This disassociation. Plus firearms. This is one that will renew discussions in the country. A Maine bowling ally. No where is safe; that’s a wholesome scene. The whole community will be forever changed locally and in Maine. Vibes go out to the Mainers.

    Jesus fucking Christ. Glad you and loved ones are safe. What the actual fuck.

    If it turns out that snowfall is inversely related to Ken’s business levels, it’s going to put folks here in a tough spot, ha. Hope he takes one for the team economically? Don’t want to see it.

    Picking up where last winter left off?
  5. powderfreak
    Feels amazing out. Shorts back on.

    God that was brutal on the slopes, most places closed. -28 followed by -35, wind chills -65F. For Wolfie… on Mansfield last February had the 2nd coldest reading during the second half of any winter since records started in 1954 with -35F (record was -36F in 1967). February also set 3 daily record mins. Maybe that off-sets the record late freeze 8 months later?

    48F here too. A couple brief showers. Trying to warm up as the peak is losing its white cap.

    Oh absolutely. For the record, not panicked in any way and hope it’s never insinuated it’s a predictive indicator. Its just a very interesting climo stat we’ve got going. Plenty of folks locally asking me about it as the growing season is still on and they know it’s very late.

    It was even raining briefly this morning. We have not yet this fall been able to get a full night of radiational cooling; several times it’s been super cold for 9pm standards and then it just sits or rises after midnight. Poor timing leading to really late freeze.
  10. powderfreak
    MVL hit 33F then rose back to 36F. Local PWS 31.5F. MVL ASOS still looking for that record late 32F.
  11. powderfreak
    Tonight might be the night of the first freeze to finally end the record late run. Already 33F at neighbor’s PWS and officially MVL is 34/30, so should have room to drop. SLK down to 28F and BML 33F (not sure if BML has had a freeze either yet?)…
  12. powderfreak
    That’s some solid color there.

    The first sub-32F SFC prog at the MVL ASOS from the latest GFS run is October 31st. That is absolutely insane. I don’t think people understand how rare that is based on standard deviations from the period or record. If we even entertain November 1 as a first freeze at a NNE radiational site, wow. Been a mild fall. This isn’t a troll post, just recognizing what is actually happening.
  14. powderfreak
    Yup. Looked like 1/3rd of an inch of freezing rain before snow. Very icy up there.
  15. powderfreak
    She loves it. It was snowing very low down under 2000ft when I left the hill. @alex mixing at 1500ft isn’t surprising. Good first walk in the snow and winter environment today. 1” at the Stake officially, ha. We are on the board.
  16. powderfreak
    Half inch paste at 3,000ft. Wind is honking.
  17. powderfreak
    Dumping. Gusting 50mph too. Snow level 2500ft.
  18. powderfreak
    Solid rain event that’s still going along the Spine and west side. East side had a quarter inch head start yesterday (not included here), then the west side blew it away today. Strong gradient and well modeled locally from east to west.
  19. powderfreak
    About the same here in the valley/town. Ski area base now over 3”. Definitely a bit of a tonight and find this system very appealing in a cold season type of way. The mountains seeing a similar synoptic rainfall to lower elevations, but it’s the long duration steady upslope lift that really pass the totals. You get the initial large scale precip and then this more localized slow and steady upslope. The mountains are in the “stat padding” portion of a cold season system.

    Would be quite the snower in the winter. Base of ski area at a 2.64” storm total, and running 0.19”/hr upslope and gusting 30 NW. Should have some upslope flow of some sort over the next like 24 hours. 1,500ft on east slope of Spine has had 1”+ more water than a few miles away here in town. Office might beat home by 2” water by the end tomorrow late day. This radar in winter makes the ski community feel things. Standing wave from Spine wringing moisture out.
  21. powderfreak
    Intriguing for higher elevations tomorrow. GFS has SLK at 32F in snow it looks like.
  22. powderfreak
    Roughly 1.20” here so far but the main conveyor has been Spine west into Champlain Valley. BTV area stations around 2” now.
  23. powderfreak
    I don’t think I’ll ever forget the noise from a meteor that was caught on the BTV airport cam… was walking the dog in Stowe. Dog hated it, didn’t know what was happening. I figured F-35 Green Mtn Boys were strafing.
  24. powderfreak
    We did get 31F up top but it set its latest date on record back to 1956.
  25. powderfreak
    It’s actually not that late yet for snow. It is extremely late for first 32F and lower. Theres certainly been years into November without even summit snows. Usually first picnic table snows here are sometime during the second half of October. The snow level has been in the 5,000ft range a couple times, hitting MWN and touching Whiteface summit. But hasn’t dropped low enough to get the 4,000ft range.
