    Pretty much sums it up.
  2. powderfreak
    -9F now.

    -4F at 11pm at the ASOS on RT 100. Similar in the local river valley here. The inversion is incredible. Over in NH, it’s -4F at HIE while it’s +27F on MWN? Heating bills for sub-zero cold in town, when it’s pleasant at the summits.

    -2F at MVL and -1.3F here. We’ve had some cold this month.

    Slalom Hill had a minor slide today… the snowpack is layered and several reports of heavy sloughing and fracturing snowpack in the steep high elevation natural snow. Interesting that the low elevation snowmaking released energy as well.

    The mountains are really in some of the best shape for the holiday period that we’ve seen in some time. The terrain openings right now and the healthy snowpack (11” above normal) without a true grinch storm makes this first half of the holiday period a good time. It may certainly change by early next week though. But it’s been full winter for a few weeks it’s seemed with sustained cold for snowmaking and decent natural snow.

    2F A cold Christmas evening.
  8. powderfreak
    Decent inversion.
  9. powderfreak
    Stout inversion developing. Mountain is above the clouds and sunny. Valley is socked in and temp dropped down to 9F at 9am. Odd to see it drop between 8 and 9am. 9F.

    Added another quarter inch today for a total of 6” from the clipper.
  11. powderfreak
    5.7” here.

    Flakes just went small and steady. Synoptic flakes. Sounds like a low hiss outside as it falls. Dogs back was coated quickly but not by fluff, this is more QPF 8-10:1 type stuff all the sudden.
  13. powderfreak
    I know what Mark was talking about in terms of flake type… but to me the wind thing doesn’t hold much weight. It can absolutely stuff fluff on the mountain with great snow growth in 60 mph winds. Same with Lake Effect bands. It’s all snow growth related. Stronger lift will see better growth as is often the case. Flake size will decrease quite a bit in the lulls.

    The orographic band has migrated eastward. Lifting NE with the initial fronto moving through… but also standing wave in nature.
  15. powderfreak
    Ha, I’m hoping for 6” the day before Xmas. This stuff is pure clipper fluff at 14 degrees to start off. If 0.40 - 0.50” QPF lands it could get maximized by ratios.
  16. powderfreak
    That escalated quickly. We are going to get smoked if the orographic band wants to park on the east side.
  17. powderfreak
    I can feel people’s excitement lol. I like 4-8” personally.
  18. powderfreak
    Thinking a 3-6” event in this area for Xmas Eve. We’ll see, not completely sold. North of the track will do the best. Its still early enough for decent changes. GFS… Uncle… Mesoscale 3KM NAM too.

    BTV did it, first sub-zero reading in 600+ days. A new stretch to beat down the road.
  20. powderfreak
    SLK -17F at 10:30pm? That place is the surface of the moon.
  21. powderfreak
    -8/-13 still some room to radiate if it can stay calm.
  22. powderfreak
    They've spent the last 2.5 hours at 0F to +1F, ha. Not sure they've crossed the threshold yet. BTV doesn't give it up easily these days.
  23. powderfreak
    Yeah I’ve seen -25F to -27F on my car before at 5am starting it up and going to the Mtn. Its not as common now it seems, but -20s still happen with some regularity. Last February had a -21F.
  24. powderfreak
    Down to 0F with a 7mph wind. -13F chill. They haven’t radiated yet.
  25. powderfreak
    Point and click has -12F.
