    I bet it happens quite a bit early season after suppressed storms... but pretty cool so many folks are getting to experience snow depths higher than the mountain snow belts.

    I feel like over the last few years we've gotten more of that SWFE type density up here than we had in the past...absolutely no empirical data to back that up though.

    No doubt, I would too...we had some big pasting going on last November. Great for the scenery and base. I do think most events come down to LE anyway when it comes to staying power...but all else has to be equal. For skiing and even NNE vibe, the drier snow mixed with more consistent cold seems to work.

    HRRR is pretty robust for tomorrow along the Spine... 18z GFS hammers Jay...

    High of 31F up here with overcast and occasional flurries today in town and some snow showers on the hill. EURO and other models argue for some light snow accumulation tonight into tomorrow morning... 0.3” at Mansfield would be nice. I’ll keep you all posted on whether it’s 0.9” or 1.7” at home . Maybe a good car shot from the parking lot with 2-3” of fairy dust at the Mtn.

    Now that’s worth looking forward to.

    Ha yeah I mean I’ve had some snow on the ground for what seems like 3 weeks... I wouldn’t feel too bad for me .

    Man just middle of the pack now after this storm. Now I need to nickel and dime my way back up until the next big SNE storm .

    You had 4” this morning? lol nice. Not even a flake up here.

    1.5" here. Looking north can see sky just past your area. If this view is the consolation prize for missing the big snows, I'll take it. Love these Northern Greens. So dramatic looking with the rime.

    It was socked in with low ceiling all day here. It was weird, a freezing mist at times amid small flakes at the mountain. Damp chill. 1/4” coating/film of snow at home.

    Holy shit. Very close lightning strike to the house and shaking thunder out of no where. Didnt expect that.

    A couple shots from the hill today... Good to stretch, don't want to pull a hammy.
  14. powderfreak
    Not that impressed to be honest, ha. The last 24 hours of Euro runs have ranged from around 0.2” to 1.15” at MVL. The lack of consistency is concerning.
  15. powderfreak
    I just came in to post that we just had a nice flare up and period of decent snow dusting us up in the last hour.
  16. powderfreak
    Yeah it depends on where she lives. Alex at 1,500ft in Bretton Woods would be saved relatively on SE flow as he's tucked in closer to the terrain.... but get a few miles further out and it probably is a very sharp gradient. Similar to our upslope.

    That's awesome. I love those differences, even when I'm on the lower end of that, ha. I love how narrow the difference in appeal can be in elevation snow. That's a big difference in vibe there...from gray/wet to white/bright.

    Utterly obscene. It’s hard to match these departures over a 17-day period. I mean MPV/MVL are both almost -10 on the month. For here... 5 of the last 6 days had departures of -19F or lower, as much as -26F a day. BTV... -7.9 1V4... -8.9 MVL... -9.3 MPV... -9.4 This is holy shit level of cold departures.
  19. powderfreak
    Island Pond, VT at the ISPV1 station had a low of -11F and a high of 39F.... nice 50-degree diurnal swing.
  20. powderfreak
    Good quality snow out there today... cold but no wind and full sunshine...felt warmer than the temperature said.
  21. powderfreak
    I like a freezing rain to snow type transition with this one... maybe a quarter inch of glaze followed by 2-3” of snow? Euro maps... it cools it enough to flip to a few hour period of steady snow at the end.
  22. powderfreak
    You had 2”. Its the highest depth... makes no difference if you went to sleet, or the temp went to 60F and it melted in minutes, lol....if you had 2” of snow at some point, that’s your snow total. Inevitably it’s all going to melt anyway at some point...whether that 2” is there for 3 months or only an hour doesn’t matter.
  23. powderfreak
    About 5” of very dense snow at the mountain. Probably similar 6-7:1 ratios. Good water amount for a base layer.
  24. powderfreak
    Well that’s some really dense snow. About 4.5” that feels like cement. I see most CoCoRAHS are running like 5-6:1 ratio. The local guy had 0.78” water. No fluff here, sleet and some ZR to make it thick, ha.
  25. powderfreak
    1.5-2” on my wife’s car when I got home. Seems dense, I’ll be curious what JSpin gets for ratio.
