I'm hoping for a few more ticks here to get us in on the goods, but I'd be doing backflips for 6 inches. Currently all guidance has the 45th parallel QPF hole right over my head but much more solid 50 miles each side of us.

Finally took the BR 160 on its maiden voyage for the season, overall trail came out mostly decent, but it's pretty depressing considering if we didn't get 4 separate rain events we'd have well over a 2 foot pack. Oh well, another shitty winter, 6 seasons in a row since the last great season of 2018-19. Have close to 1,000 miles on the sled at least with two Quebec trips the past two weekends.

Came down from Chicoutimi, Quebec colder than that this morning, absolutely pristine snowmobiling!

40 inches over my head, definitely high chance of verifying!

One of my rox mounts actually did break and I had to zip tie to get home with it, had almost 6,000 miles of abuse and then a smooth ride with the wife at 50-60 mph with no bumps and it breaks I do appreciate the Maine insight you have, definitely a different world up here than other areas. Hope you guys do alright down there too, trends look promising. You should have good riding I imagine with the snow the past few days and what's coming this weekend. We need a good season after these past 5 disappointments.

Heading to Quebec for 3 days this weekend which usually guarantees snow at the house, got probably 200 miles on, but 140 being trail maintenance either on a skandic or my tundra, but did have a nice 60 mile ride with the wife Sunday from the house. If we pick up 4-5 inches through Sunday we'll be starting to roll here, looks like minor QPF Friday into Saturday with the warmup.

An inch here so far and -sn, this weekend keeps looking like less of a disaster, hope the trend holds

Looks like Hi-res stuff might have taken a step back from 0z, but we'll see. Feel good for about an inch here, but hopefully it gets going a bit earlier to get more of the board in on it and closer to 2-3 here, taking the groomer out Friday if my part comes in hopefully

Everything keeps ticking slowly north and west, hopefully it keeps coming this way like the last storm kept creeping north on us 24 hours out and we ended up getting 0.9" of rain instead of mostly snow and frozen precip.

Looks like we haven't lost much pack here at all, but currently sitting stopped 10 mins from the house for a log truck rollover cleanup, hoping things will clear shortly since it's 30 mins around...33 and rain still, hoping we Dryslot or flip here soon

Wife said we topped out at 2 inches new snow at the house and from her pics a few mins ago the rain hasn't even melted that yet in the driveway, so hoping this ends up a net gain. Another good band of rain to roll through it looks like then hopefully a Dryslot. Not sure we've lost much snow at all here at the office in Auburn since I got here at 8am.

Freezing drizzle and 29 in Waterville, Maine, assuming we're going to lose our all snow shortly back at the house

20 F and snow leaving the house on the way to Auburn area, should be an exciting drive... 1.1" of snow, hope we can hang on longer to snow like some of the Hi-res stuff is showing.

CAR is going with 2-4 here, up to an inch of sleet, and possibly 0.25 of freezing rain. I just hope by the time the rain gets here around 3-4pm we can Dryslot. Went and cut and packed our trails all open again today with the new snow after last Friday's wind and rain, honestly we're ready to groom, just need to have a bit of a net gain, even an inch or two would be huge

Models are all spitting out 3-5 inches of snow north of the 45th in our area, fingers crossed that's right, but still worried about the warm layer coming up quick to flip to freezing rain. Hopefully Tolland, CT gets 0.5 and we stay mostly snow and sleet!
