#NoPoles

Nice, not much here in Bretton Woods maybe 2 or so

Where are you staying? I was at cranmore today checking on something and the skiing looked good

Check out that gradient where Bretton Woods is. I'm guessing we get 4 inches, but Phin's area could get a foot. Attitash area actually didn't do too bad during the other storm. More snow than Bretton Woods. The plow piles along the side of the road just coming out of the Notch and around Attitash are larger than the Bretton Woods piles. This current map has the same gradient on it as the last storm so it makes me believe things will play out in the same manner.

39 in North Conway, and 32 back at Bretton Woods

I just got snow tires for my car! Yay me, studded as well. Sorry NNE, I may have just chased away the snow.

Got this text from my sister who lives in Manomet, Plymouth: This is the annoying snow. So wet it's almost rain. And super windy. So it hits you in the face like splat! And just sticks there.

The summit of Mammoth Mtn has reported over 441 inches of snow... That is absolutely incredible

Well, my driveway is a shit show. It's basically dirt. So I have giant mud season type ruts, then it snowed on top of those ruts, then it rained into the snow. And the plow pushed a nice little dam at the end of the driveway. Now I need to see if I can shovel this shit show before it freezes solid and my car is locked in the driveway until the next thaw. Totally loving this winter :/

I just got back from North Conway- 25 degrees and heavy snow. I almost got stuck in Crawford Notch. That last mile is pretty steep uphill and then you pop out at the AMC Center and it's a flat plateau before it starts heading down hill all the way to the CT River valley. But that last mile is a doozy, and I have bald tires. I literally had my hazards on and popped my corolla into low gear and turned off traction control. Inched along at like 3mph watching my rpms to make sure I didn't blow my transmission because while I may have only been moving at 3mph, my tires were probably spinning at 50mph. Just barely made it. Was at a dead stop in the slow lane for about 5 mins before I was able to get some forward movement. Whole different world in Bretton Woods. The snow has changed over for the most part- barely any accumulation- and my car said 29 degrees but I think Whitefield is already at like 34 degrees. Attitash and Cranmore might just do ok. When I drove past Cranmore it was Moderate snow, and passing Attitash and then a little further past I drove in heavy snow and could barely see in front of me. I am so glad I made it home! I have an appointment to get snow tires put on this coming Saturday

Bretton Woods right on the edge of the cut-off. We got 8 inches last storm where WildCat and Phin got 20-24 inches. It has a lot to do with the terrain orientation and the fact that from Crwford Notch on west down Rt 302 it slopes down to the CT River Valley. Not holding my breath for my area, but North Conway and Wild Cat could do ok.

Sneaky cold, -5 at Whitefield Airport House had one of those big pops last night that gets the heart pumping and thinking that someone broke in or something collapsed.

Alive and waiting for snow, though not holding my breath

Well, I guess I could go buy a tube and get ready to ride the river through Bretton Woods. No ice fishing or Ice Castles this year.

I dont think the Ice Castles will open this year

Damn, that is some green grass!

Holy crap, that's ugly Climate Change Renders Ski Resorts Snowless Across Europe (PHOTOS) | Weather.com https://weather.com/photos/news/2023-01-06-snowless-ski-resorts-europe-photos

Dippin dots upslope

You gotta go way far north. I'm in Bretton Woods and there is not much natural snow. You probably gotta go Pittsburg and on North

Whitefield airport says 33 degrees. I use that weather station, since I keep forgetting how to see Alex's station. It has been constant snow all day. I feel like we could have had 3 or so inches by now if it were just 1 or 2 degrees colder. But it is beautiful. Just cold enough to stick on the trees, we might have an inch on the ground.

Light snow, everything coated and white again

Does anyone know if any of the ski resorts have had any small win dows to make snow since Christmas time frame? MLK weekend is fast approaching and it doesn't look like there will be spectacular amounts of terrain open at any ski resort

I think the last time the sun was fully out up here was just before Christmas. I was only just remembering recently that one of the things that was mentioned once I had decided to attend Lyndon State College was how cloudy it was during the winter. It was mentioned on all the campus tours. Guess that is the one thing that hasn't changed

If you can't beat em, join em! Pina Coladas for everyone!
