Hitman

I have woods adjacent to my back yard where all the ash trees died in the last 3-4 years. 8 trees.

I'm definitely not a "bump skier" although I do ski them with the 108s. While they are certainly not the best tool for the job, they are adequate for my purposes. My issue skiing bumps is that I have a tendency to sit back, such that when I am properly balanced and in a rhythm, I'm fine, even with the 108's. point is, its me not the width of the skis. What I really enjoy is powder and off piste so the mid fats are definitely better for that.

The Blizzard Rustler comes in 3 different widths, denominated the Rustler 9-, 10 and 11. The 11 is 112 under foot for most lengths, 114 on the longest, I believe the 188 and 192. The rustler 10 is 102 under foot. I demo'd the 10 last season and loved it. I've been riding a line SFB which is 108 so I'm in the market for the rustler 11. thinking that I was fine with the 108 as my daily quiver even on hard pack groomers, and the wider width gives me the versatility for use in powder here and also out west. So I would probably recommend the Rustler 10 especially if youre coming from such a narrow ski.

We got a little rain here in croton and i hit a downpour on the taconic on the way home.

Been pouring consistently here since I woke up at 6. Serious whitewater in brook beside my house.

So sorry for your loss.

I don't know if this qualifies as an interesting weather situation or not but figured I'd post it in case anyone wants to check it out. I go kayaking and paddling on the croton river which runs from the dam to the hudson where they meet at the metro north station. For whatever reason the DEP has been and continues to release water from the bottom of the reservoir, as opposed to allowing the warmer surface waters to spill over. This water is extremely cold. I was told the temperature of the water where the river becomes navigable is at 48f. way too cold to swim. So cold in fact, that fog forms in spots. The air, at least right above the water in the gorge is a good 20 degrees less than the surrounding air temperature. yesterday paddling through the fog was like out of a horror movie.

The water was really warm at blueberry lake and the mad river in Warren. It was great. Stay in the water forever and then when you get out, no need to dry off. Felt great. Was a tad warm/humid biking but I avoided heat stroke, so all good.

interesting stuff. https://www.weather.gov/btv/June-18-2018-Severe-Weather-Review-Including-the-Waitsfield-VT-Wet-Microburst

that's funny!

looks like Hawaii

4/2 and finally overperformed. 6” here.

3” here. Another negative bust.

We need some love on the banks of the hudson. Last 3 storms (2-8-2) were not kind to us relatively.

I got maybe 8”. Lost power for about an hour. Limbs snapping and trees coming down. Very heavy snow.

4” otg and lightly snowing. This is going to be another huge negative bust here.

Puking parachutes now for the last 30-40 minutes. 3” otg.

Serious snow just commenced here about 5 minutes ago. Let’s get this party going. 35.6f. About an inch otg.

Flakes have commenced here in croton. Nice ones too. And so it begins.

I was on eastern before here, but had been spending pretty much all my non working time up in vt so mainly in the sne forum. I don’t know enough to comment on models or meteorology in general for that matter. But I do love me some snow, even more so if I can ski it.

My guess is we’re older than some of the posters in the model thread?

Sure hope we aren’t watching it from across the river.

Including northeast corner of nj, no?

latest point and click from uptown for me is 12-19”. Trying to keep my expectations grounded.

steady as she snows! NWS has me at 10-18". I fully expect not to break 6".
