    Running out that EPS run, it looked pretty damn active and snowy for New England as the gradient looked to be situated in the NYC area. No shortage of waves moving through that flow either.

    Looked a bit further NW with the Friday wave than the EURO op. Got a mix just north of here then back to snow. Cut snowfall by about 1" everywhere in New England on the mean. Real nice follow up wave at Day 6-7 for SNE lol.

    We are evolving as weenies. Its like a bunch of us started in our teens as gung-ho winter over everything... and now 10-15 years later it’s like hey, maybe it doesn’t have to be 13F all the time ha.

    Ha, Brian’s older than me I think? Maybe by a couple years? I know I’m a few behind Will and Scooter. I mean I’m talking cold though. Like dry highs in the single digits and lows below zero which is what mid winter can be like for weeks on end. I just think running errands, skiing, being outside, it’s so much nicer at 35F.

    They aren’t though. Folks are just latching on to the scenarios they want and then get disappointed. Like I’m not going to say they are terrible because two runs of the GFS gave me 2 feet at day 5. You have to throw out the outliers. When was the last time the NYC suburbs saw a significant icestorm? You’d have to see 3 days of runs like that to even entertain that idea.

    Back in it up here. Good trend.

    Not freezing your ass off on the slopes is what it’s good for. I actually like this if it’s not snowing. Perfect for taking the dog on her hour loop though the woods too. My desire for cold without snow has decreased a lot in recent years for whatever reason.

    That sounds pretty warm for mid-winter...

    In all honesty, the EPS has a very healthy 1-1.5" of QPF frozen along RT 2 area between snow and then ice in the Thurs/Fri time frame.
  10. powderfreak
    The QPF maps show that as well.... a much more even distribution of snow.

    It seems early, even for you. At that rate you’ll be installing on March 1st. But I guess it’s sort of like a very long version of not being able to enjoy a snowstorm if you already know a cutter is coming 4 days later. Can’t enjoy snow in Feb/March because you know April is coming.

    That GFS run should make more folks feel better. By tomorrow it’ll be NYC to BOS and participation trophies for all.

    That’s amazing, haha. We all know what you mean too. Enjoying modeled storms sometimes seems better than enjoying the systems themselves for some folks.

    Welp, all downhill from there. I’ll be pissed if I don’t get 20+ inches in the next 6 days. I can’t imagine what this forum would be like if the GFS just painted that axis through SNE.
  15. powderfreak
    I mean the overall look is still pretty similar with several waves rippling along the baroclinic zone, with the last one being the stronger system. It just depends where that boundary is and seems to be waffling around a bit. Cutter to suppression still seems all on the table.

    Unreadable. Emotions swinging from high to low every single model run these days. Folks are losing it.

    December you enjoyed, no?

    Yeah it's solidly much more impressive than Mansfield. That extra 1000ft is what, 20% more height and being further north in latitude the tree-line is lower. Add in much more proximity to the Canadian Maritime climate than any other New England mountains, with tons of wind. That harsh landscape is what really makes the vibe there.

    I’ve never seen it but from the photos, I’d agree. Looks relatively flat around it for great, impressive vistas. Looks like something out of Montana.

    That to me is a very New England thing, even more SNE than anything. I think of Woodstock, CT when I think of rock walls. They border like every property.

    Nice day 5-6 event there... 48-hr snow
  22. powderfreak
    It’s crazy that January was as ridiculously warm as November was cold. Like -6.5 and +7 for the two months up here. Mother Nature loves her averages. At least in January we can absorb that and still see average max temps below freezing (just barely)...but it’s been a lot of highs in the 25-35F range all month it seems...which is real warm for interior N.VT in January.
  23. powderfreak
    We always want it.

    Optimism hasn’t been working, I think you are on the right track. Gotta try everything. Expect zero winter rest of the way and get pleasantly surprised.
  25. powderfreak
    I thought of you as soon as seeing the Euro. Hope that works out for you guys and someone can grab an inch or two to brighten up the landscape.
