No bamboo damage there.

I mean you did say "I like when it tracks...." We all know there are different tracks/angles for different locations.

Up to 14F at MVL after a min of -8F. It's cold outside. This is mid-winter flavor cold the past two days.

Appreciate the gesture. You're a good man, ha. We can't control it anyway. I just hope someone sees something. It seems quite selfish to wish it away for everyone if I can't get involved, so you cheer for your friends. The angle of attack has seemed to change in the past few days. More easterly motion leaving the coast than north. Would need to see some adjustments there to go back to deeper interior snows. Of course there's always the H6-H7 snows are further back than we think too.

Yeah exactly. There’s no mind games there. It ain’t happening up north so why not cheer it on for someone.

lol honestly man, Will shares a shot of his kids outside shoveling 0.35” of snow and it’s like damn, that’s cool. Theres a lot of folks on the forum who haven’t had snow on the ground, no need to be selfish if they can get one. I’d root for good people.

Hope you guys can pull this out down there.. think of the children. I know Will’s kids are huge snow weenies too like yours, hard not to root for that. Spread some magic for the kids of E.MA, ha.

It's cold outside. Sub-zero in the valley. Mid-slopes are slightly below zero to just above.

Especially when the snow is firm packed cold, slick at times, and skiing is fast. Fast skiing conditions (because groomed smooth stuff is the only terrain open) in a cold air mass just leads to even colder skiing. It’s not like you can work up some body energy like you can in natural snow, off-piste or ungroomed snow. Its cold and fast right now.

It was frigid today. Just straight cold. Heating bill going up. Max of 11F at the local MVL ASOS for an official 00z high temp. BTV also with a 12F high temp in the wider valley.

That is often the model run pattern, I like that line of thinking based on anecdotal experience.

Oh for sure. Based on guidance it's hard to see a complete whiff or an inland cutter either. This one definitely lines up so far with enough model spread that there are the usual classic worries between geographic regions. My gut says fast flow wherever it goes, could be a very solid hit somewhere but residence time seems to be quick. Fast always makes me think east though. Models have over-amped storms in the mid-range for years now it seems.

Everyone has a least likely scenario and everyone has a scenario where some other part of the forum gets raked. That's the real fear, lets be honest. Like you raining while interior gets smoked, NNE is always more worried with smoking cirrus while SE gets smoked. It's a funny dynamic but regardless of the set-up, there are some default "least of my worries" for every poster depending on location . They are opposites too, like the least of worries up here is raining while the least of worries down there is flurries.

Nice sunset this evening leaving work.

Cold out there. Car said 2F leaving this morning at 7am.

Yeah that would be the obvious concern because it’s certainly not going to rain up here. It’s either going to snow or whiff.

Completely meaningless. But gotta talk about something haha. Wednesday is a long way away. That mean includes Saint Lawrence Valley jacks and whiffs.

Barnes Camp plot total at Notch gate. Nor’incher.

You gotta love anomalies.

I will say I thought we'd see more, but there is a nice fresh layer out there. Cold too this evening, it's 13F outside. Still some flurries occasionally moving through, high-vis but floaty flakes. The "snowpack" is sparkling and despite only 5" of crusty snow with a fresh topping, it looks wintry out in town. Wife and I just walked home and it's got a winter vibe. Much better than bare ground and perpetual autumn. Snowfall and especially depth this season hasn't been noteworthy by any means, but I do know it's seemed white outside a decent amount of the time since sometime in November.

It’s so far out in time. Models extrapolating current conditions every 6 hours… Dryslot has said it, but wait till Wednesday night, who knows what we see by then. Precip would move in early Friday AM, that’s an eternity.

DIT is closer to being right at 18z than he was at 12z.

Maybe a bit over 1.5” here? Ha, those model runs with 0.30-0.45” QPF certainly didn’t happen here.

There are worse means for much of the forum.
