    2.0" for the final here, hopefully will be firing up the groomer for the first pass out our Northern trail tomorrow, then we pray for the next two to help us get the rest opened. This is the latest first grooming run since my time as trail master the past 11 years, and my grandfather as trail master the 6 years before that. 

    Our club plans to open trails this weekend.  We've only been on the periphery of the upslope bonanza.  Enough to start building a base.  I won't be in town this weekend to help but I'm sure there are plenty of guys who will ride ahead of the groomer to help clear any blowdowns.

    I’m here for the weather and snowfall discussion… love ski area ops disco too, but try to avoid opinions on the business side of things, both good or bad.

    So in other words, you’re in the running. :P

    Don’t worry, we will welcome you back when the next good threat arises. 
     

    The pattern gets to everyone eventually.

    I'm going to have to defend myself. I did not have a meltdown this time or last time. All I'm doing is defending myself when someone comes at me. You're just as guilty as the other guy. You're another instigator too. 

    Didn’t even have to wait until a good threat came along.

  5. Got out in the woods around Worcester and Middlesex to work on some snowmobile bridges. Seemed like 10”-14” on the ground. This was between 800’-1100’. It was more snow otg than I was expecting. I only have around 6” at my house. The river was full of ice too. Normal temps up here are pretty cold. The last couple of years has made us weak.

    BTW, anyone associating use of that analog with 90" in 30 days or 115" on the season is the weenie.

    You promised! No take backs!

    I'm sure Brattleboro got about half that in the lower elevations. Closer to the 17.2. That number must be much higher up.

    Probably up the hill in Marlboro

    As a weather geek, I find it amazing what transpired yesterday in the deep south.  Parishes in New Orleans got 6"+ of snow and parts of N Florida had 4-8" of snow with some wind swept powder.  Incredible. 

    My brother said 8” in SW GA.

    Do we prefer warm and wet winters like last year .. or cold and dry like this winter?

    I'm with you in preferring this

    Jay Peak at 200” season to date, Wildcat at 42”!  Absolute porkage east of the Presedentials.  Hopefully turn that around, thank God for snow making. 

    J Spin did some backcountry touring up there last weekend and posted some pics in the NNE thread. He estimated 45”50” otg.

    Looks like the jackpot areas will be northern Florida, southern Georgia

    My brother lives in Thomasville, GA, about 30 miles north of Tallahassee. He said it started around 6:00 with big flakes. Sent me this picture around 6:30.

    It's in the 20s there too. It's not even like paste and low 30s like you'd expect. A WTF moment indeed.

    That should help from a power perspective, right?  Or maybe their infrastructure is hardened enough for hurricane preparedness that it should be fine anyway.

    The lack of snow cover and the wind is keeping the nighttime low higher than they would probably be. It’s not like it’s some cold wave but it’s definitely been a winter month for the most part. For me that’s defined more by what it’s like during the daytime hours when I’m awake then by how cold it gets at night. 

    The wind popped up just after midnight and we went from -6.5° up to +5.7° in under an hour

    I will say this month has felt cold but the average says +2.4 at MVL.  Wild.  It has been a cold January compared to the +5 to +8 winter months in recent years.

    The recent years definitely have altered my perception of “cold.”

    MPV was -+.9  I don’t think it’s felt all that cold and definitely there ha been no “historic” cold.  It has seemed pretty windy.  Even the little bit of snow last night drifted
