Yeah dark this morning, but for whatever reason I respond better to light later in the day. I can do dark mornings, and half the week I’m up by 5am in the winter anyway… but big, big fan of being able to be outside in light between 5-7pm after work. We need to find a way to stop the earth from tilting and just do a constant all year lol.

Ahhh, later sunsets are back. The best time of year.

Hit 57F here today… mostly sunny afternoon was glorious. Spring skiing at its finest. Taking the sunny torch award up here.

Yeah, I mean it’s still been a great winter, snow depth days way up, and shows the overall importance as a skier if getting that deep early season base and then being able to ride that out. Been skiing the glades since November… it really lengthens the ski season. Feel like we’ve been at 30-45” depth in the base area for 2+ months now too.

At 3,000ft we measured only 36” in February, which is kind of wild. It didn’t rain either, just didn’t do much of anything. Should be 70-75” on average. We’ve gone really dry since sometime in January… but snowpack has remained healthy due to the strong early season base. Snowfall was pacing way above normal by like early to mid January and has now fallen back to a normal pace for the high elevations.

Weir is a fun guy to ski with, and he loves snow. It’s those shared passions that unite us all regardless.

Hit 45F and sunny up here.

Pretty nice cold drain down the Champlain Valley… low level sub-freezing air oozing south. BTV now 28/17 with 15mph NNW wind. Its 34F Mansfield Summit, 40F base area and 41F MVL.

Guess it’s the same down in SNE between ORH and everyone else around there. Dripping off rooftops at ORH but locked up tight elsewhere.

Talk about an inversion and fake cold preserving snowpack down low… 3,600ft… 29F 2,600ft… 36F 1,550ft… 39F (Ops building) 750ft… 21F (MVL and local PWS)

What a day. 2” (2.25”) new and then 40 degrees.

Nice morning.

Yeah that’s what I would expect. I don’t remember anyone saying a week of 70s.

That’s really the question… I mean, even if it fails at 60s or 70s… it’s still pretty mild at 50s. It’s not like it’s going to be 38F instead of 65F.

We are currently tied with the blizzard… 0 flakes.

I found those sharp gradients interesting too… like the model couldn’t figure out if it’s fully mixing or not from one location to the next. Figured snowpack was impacting those 2-m outputs.

That SW flow downslope off the Adirondacks can really torch that pocket this time of year.

Hit 47 diurnal range today… 39/-8 but clouds now should slow it. Doubt we get the rare 50 degree swing.

12z EURO showing some nape tanning next week… Monday… Tuesday… Wednesday…

Yeah added moisture, ha. Sitting at 21” depth here of stein.

37F now off a -8F min, lol. Low standards or not, this sun and temp feels intoxicating after the obnoxious Arctic shot. Wandering around town nude, ha. They did not cancel school up here.

Absolutely beautiful outside right now. Feels like t-shirt weather after the past 48 hours. -8F this AM and now 32F. We’ve recovered 40 degrees before noon.

Great shot. The past two days have been a bit too cold. Borderline obnoxious cold after the 40 degree sunshine on Saturday. Winter isn't over, it'll continue to be wintry at times, but the length of daylight increasing rapidly makes it seem like we will be more prone to mild interludes compared to the past few months. The temperature curve is starting to go up again, after a multi-stretch month of seemingly colder weather in the means. It's 0F outside right now. But you know these arctic cold shots are waning each week we move forward in the sun angle curve.

Going below zero again. The indoors heating demand this winter has been hefty.

-13F so far.
