To be fair everyone told him it would be like living in the Chugach Range of Alaska for snow. But it’s still New England lol.
-
Special pattern just for your first winter.
-
That’s my buddy Dylan, but yeah I think he’s got shifts for bindings.
-
I find myself drawn to looking at it despite the time range. Always fun to see exotic solutions.
-
Though all things considered.... not often you see a prog of a 959mb low just north of KRUT. Guess it does cool pretty decently from the +3C to +9C 850s in the beginning.
-
I don't really get it either, that track seems like it's rain in early December anyway you slice it. I'm not sure having the antecedent air mass -0.5C colder would matter. Hard to argue AGW moving the needle that much with H85 temps of +3C or even more.

Ended up with a couple inches of snow above mid-mountain this afternoon to give it a wintry vibe up there. Lower mountain was spring like mashed potatoes and soft bumps. 2.5 ways down right now... 3 upper mountain that funnel to 2 routes lower half (plus a few beginner lifts and trails over at Spruce). Full on bump runs this afternoon from the soft snow and traffic. Not time to "Shut 'em Down" yet up here. We'll see after a couple rainers, ha!

Had to go up above 2,500ft to find some actual winter over white rain or wet parachutes on top of mud at 1,500ft. Picked up 2" at 3,300ft stake this afternoon. The world looks so much better with snow around. Below 2,000ft looks like Maryland in February after a rainstorm.
-
Hope she gets a real mild case of it, which probabilities show she should but still not something you want to play around with. You won't be missing much over the next 10 days in Ski Country, ha.
-
Because your snowfall to date on 11/28 is likely higher than several of your Maryland winters added together .
-
2" at the Lookout snow cam. Accumulating snow level on my afternoon ski runs was around 2,200ft.

New York and Mass have financial penalties associated with them I think. Mass is $500 per day that you don’t quarantine after travel. New York’s is worse I think. Vermont doesn’t have a penalty and that’s been the issue all along. Like trying to set a speed limit on a highway but with no penalty if you go over the limit.
-
We keep flipping back and forth at 1500ft. Literally every 30 seconds it seems. All snow more consistently above 1800ft.
-
A friend and fellow poster here @j24vt caught some shots of a snowy owl near the MVL airport yesterday. Today he just send me a cell shot of it back there sitting on the ASOS. He’s going back with the big lens, maybe he’ll share more later. Pretty cool to have a snowy owl chilling on the ASOS. What’s more NNE than that? Ha.
-
Briefly flipped to wet snow at 1,500ft and almost 1" at 3,300ft. Its pretty marginal, seems to be flipping back and forth with intensity.
-
DIT hates any mention of THC, I figured that might be it.
-
Hard to believe someone could be sad over this post, when someone finds relief they need. Nice work Jer.
-
Second low definitely not off shore on Euro and GGEM. Ha. Build thy ark.
-
I almost feel like DIT... making a comment knowing it just cannot be left alone to simmer out there without a correction . The NNE crew is growing, now having regular posters @PhineasC in N.NH snow country and @bwt3650 living at Jay Peak. At least we'll get more posts during those events now. Hope we all get to enjoy a good snowstorm in December. From the ocean to the mountains.
-
Definitely a poor air mass ahead of it but that one is worth watching for NNE.
-
We all love a bomb sitting over PWM. Just need to hold that position for 32 more model runs.
-
Yeah I mean, anything is possible, no storm at all is likely the usual outcome at 200 hours out. Not a slam dunk heavy rainer at day 8-9.
-
-
Ha yeah @J.Spin, the warm thaw days are actually the days to ski in this pattern. If it’s not going to snow the worst days are the cold/firm ones. I’ll take some soft snow and low crowd at like 2pm in the afternoon for some laps.
-
Today is pretty miserable in all aspects. No visibility, low clouds even in the base area at times, sheet drizzle and mist... now is a more steady light rain at 1500ft and non-accumulating white rain or wet snow above 2500ft. Moist and no visibility.
