    Snow capital of the East in coastal storms for sure.

    Yeah those widespread 12-24” are going down in a dumpster fire. Fascinating event from the outside. I’m shocked.

    3.5" for you... wow. That looked like a lock for 8"+ too. We definitely over-estimated the dynamic cooling and should certainly pay better attention to 2-M temps next time. Last night's 00z EURO had widespread >0C surface temps as of 8pm tonight but as a forum I don't think we really discussed that aspect. The idea was the dynamics would flip it easily to stackable snow. Wonder what your QPF is?

    It's impressive that ORH at 1,000ft on December 5th, ripped off 1.14" of water in a 6-hour period at H85 temps below 0C and didn't hit 32F... all the obs are 33-34F. That's an average of 0.20"/hr pretty much at sub-freezing temps a few thousand feet above them and still couldn't hit a true 32F. I figured they'd be down at like 30F ripping snow with those precip rates.

    Wow. I was way wrong up there. Figured 8+, too.

    You home or up near Waterville?

    Those are the official boards. Best type of snowboard you can have. I love those things at the mountain.
  8. powderfreak
    Just catching up... really?! I thought you were a lock for like 8-10” or more.
  9. powderfreak
    Interesting ORH’s temp is up to 34F now. Dews are up to 33F from 29F in the heaviest precip. Really marginal when this time of year with snow falling as it lightens up the temp/dews come up?

    Your area is looking really, really good right now, ha. Jelly. If you are already snow that is a lot of moisture feeding into that. Those radar echoes are legit just north/west of the radar site.
  12. powderfreak
    Great shot man, keep 'em coming! More snowy than the base of Stowe .
  13. powderfreak
    The hourly rates at ORH are impressive... 0.20” last hour. That’s some legit precip. Even as high as 0.33” in an hour.
  14. powderfreak
    Radar making a more noticeable push towards you Phin. I bet you’re really ripping in the next 1-2 hours.
  15. powderfreak
    You need a snowmobile that you can just fire up and rip through the neighborhood checking snow stakes . I’ll build you 3-4 and you can string them from Gorham all the way up up to the Ice Gulch Path.

    Ha yeah for sure but they’ll flip over as soon as any serious lift moves in. Looks like Berlin went to snow around 11:30am at the air field. That dude at 1800ft is probably even whiter. I’d just be wandering around he neighborhood all day lol. It’s funny here at the ski area we’ve got a road that goes up to over 1,800ft where folks live, and I’ll even drive up there to see how much whiter it is in marginal scenarios like a good weenie.
  17. powderfreak
    Yeah, I’m surprised how wet it still looks on the cam. Some whitening but that has a look of being near the snow line. I think once better lift moves in it’ll flip to snow right to 700ft. Doesn’t seem like areas seeing rain up there are missing out much yet. Shows how marginal it is as I figured you’d just be accumulating right off the start.
  18. powderfreak
    Nice. Gotta map out some visibility markers... like it’s approaching moderate once base of the hill disappears and heavy snow when the end of the field disappears, lol.
  19. powderfreak
    Wow already down to 1/2 mile visibility or less up there. Impressive. Your cam down?
  20. powderfreak
    Impressive QPF in the bucket at ORH. Almost 0.50" water in the last 90 minutes. 0.95" already at ORH total water.
  21. powderfreak
    You staying there this weekend? What a set-up to have a weenie house at 1,000ft to go to in these. Keep the photos coming!
  22. powderfreak
    Crazy what a monster this would've been with a good air mass.... probably historical.
  23. powderfreak
    Snow level around here is 1500ft right now.
  24. powderfreak
    3km. Southern Maine crowd looking real good now.

    The Euro had the same “exit stage right” look as it gained latitude. Ending up under Eastport.
