Shorts on the deck with a drink in hand?

Wife and I were at the Matterhorn for dinner and since it's close to the base of the ski area, I of course had to go the 2-3 miles up the road to see what was going on. It's been snowing even down in the valley since like 3pm but hasn't stuck down at 750ft. You start to see some accumulation around 1,000ft on this side of the mountain whereas the west slope has much lower accumulation down to 500ft or lower like @Froude posted. Anyway, up at 1,500ft Barnes Camp boardwalk we took a snowy evening walk to enjoy the wind/snow/cold. Felt like mid-winter. Car said 29F. Found ~2" on the ground in that area. Roads were a mess above 1,300ft but only because it was so incredibly greasy. Only like a half inch of slush on the roadway but had very little control as the sub-32F temps finally were icing the road up. No one around though so could stop in the middle of the state highway and take photos and then drive down the middle of the road, ha. All in all, dinner at the Matterhorn and a weenie drive home. Fun evening.

Radar looks great over there in Coos County with stuff rotating into NNH from Maine. Couldn't get this in January though, ha.

Wearing shorts outside while still paying for heat inside sounds more like a calendar date flip than a warm/cold flip, no? I’m with you on wearing shorts as many days as possible but definitely won’t force it if it’s 48-52F all day.

Full on winter up at 1500ft. Everything is white…1/4 mile vis. High wind. 30.5F.

It is pounding snow now outside the office. High wind and visibility is 1/4-1/2sm. Turning white in the past hour.

Flowers don’t stand a chance. Wind flattened them and now snow will freeze them.

You hate to see it.

Yeah we flipped to snow around 10am in the Stowe base area at 1,500ft and it's been snow since but nothing is sticking. Small flakes on very strong winds. I'd bet we are pushing 40mph gusts in the base area at times. Water trying to drip off the roof top is actually defying gravity and blowing back up the roof due to the wind, ha. Lookout Snow Cam is closing in on 2". I think it's getting hammered by wind up there so accumulations are slow. https://player.timecam.tv/express/index.html?C=D786BEJG4F5A

Haha that ain’t happening. We are just treading on that line of “if it’s going to be cold and wet it might as well try to snow.”

It’ll be white here tomorrow morning.

Over to snow now here in the base area at 1,500ft. Not going to stick at these temps now but it will later. But it's snowing, ha.

38F and pouring rain at 1,500ft. Snow level seems to be around 2500-3000ft. Already a quick inch at 3,100ft snow board. Lovely cold squally weather.

Won't lie, ULL overhead is usually good for the mountains with the upslope flow creating the low level convergence under the upper level lift. Healthy cold pool moving directly overhood from WNW to ESE. Convective graupel is likely.

This is a solid signal from the 12z EURO. A 6-hour panel with greater than 0.30" QPF over the Spine and temps of -2C at 925. Has it ending as snow even at MVL.

What a day down there. 50-52F with lower visibility mist and ceilings at 400 feet all afternoon. This is how one draws up spring weather.

Nice man. I like the plain white subway tiles. We did ours a few years ago to a more tan color but if I did it again I’d go white backsplash.

Do you really want to die on this hill that it’s a beautiful spring week? lol.

Yeah Mansfield is still buried above 2,500ft with 50+ inches on the ground at the stake. The upslope signal is pretty solid. Look at that low level omega/lift but the dendrite growth zone is above it so it'll likely be dense small flake/graupel type stuff.

I don't use Twitter... except I do like reading through baseball twitter for highlights and clips. I'm more of a photo guy (shocking), instagram is my jam. Still good snow on the hill. It had been 6 days since I'd even walked on snow, needed to spend some time checking things out after a trip away.

Chilly late week on the zone forecast. Wednesday Night...Snow showers likely. Light snow accumulation possible. Lows in the upper 20s. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph. Chance of snow 70 percent. Thursday...Snow showers likely. Additional light snow accumulation possible. Highs in the lower 40s. Chance of snow 70 percent. .SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 337 PM EDT Monday...Forecast remains on track for Wednesday and Thursday to be the worst weather days of the week as the core of an anonymously cold closed upper low (-30C at 500mb) moves over the region. After a dry start to the day, we should see numerous valley rain and mountain snow showers develop by Wednesday afternoon across the entire region and continue through much of the overnight across central/northeast Vermont with snow levels dropping to the valley floor by midnight.

Some light snow this week?

So hilarious. What Elon strange trip it's been.

65F here today, pretty nice temp with low RH. Looking up at the mountain from the base area, still a lot of snow on the hill. Going to be a long melt this season. Looks like some upslope accumulations possible even down through 1500ft on Wednesday night.

Yeah absolutely. It’s 75F at MSS in N.NY as warmth streams northward between that High along the coast and the Low up near James Bay.
