I like the Euro AI up here for Thursday but I don't trust the machines....

Going to be borderline even up here, euro looks a little better than GFS at a quick glance for that system. Looks and feels like last January out there right now, about 6 inch pack at the house in the valley, hit -1F this morning, nice squeak under your shoes when you walk. Love it. Now let's avoid last Januarys complete suppression depression

Yeah we can fish a lot of ponds this weekend and even have sleds out if we want, you guys must be pretty froze up down there too?

Nice Mood flakes in the air, coating on the vehicle, probably ended up with close to 5 from the storm Tuesday, ground is stiffer than normal, lakes are locking up, another 6 and the groomers will roll. Life above the 45th parallel is good (if you have a good WFH job)

5 inches at the groomer barn for 8 inch total pack, going to go out on sleds Sunday to start packing water holes and cutting blow downs hopefully. Another 8 inches and we can dig the groomer out probably. Lakes will skim this weekend when the wind calms and then if it stays like that for a few days we'll have 4-5 inches of ice before the next storm. Fingers crossed!

About 4 inches of at least 15:1 fluff in PQI, wife had early dismissal from school (teacher) back home and said we had close to 3 when she got home, but she's been sitting by the wood stove since then so no updates

Steady snow in PQI, visibility down to about 1 mile from what I can tell, very surprised, might be a good sign of things to come.

Bottomed out at 18 in the valley this morning, on my way to PQI tonight for work so lugged up plenty of wood for the wife to keep the fire going. Will miss the goods there, but thinking still about 4-6 inches for the house. We have one inch of crust on the ground while everywhere south and east of us is mostly bare ground, hopefully that one inch stays til April!

Based on everything I've seen, I'm feeling 4 inches is what we're going to end up with here, "far" NNE is not the place to be for this. A little overdone by CAR I think, but you never know.

This feels very early December 2007 to me and we cleaned up that month, but I still think 3-4 inches is our max here, though I can dream of the 18 inches the NAM dumps on my head.

I agree, I think that's where we'll end up, enough to whiten the ground with a few inche, hopefully not enough to insulate it though. Think I'll sneak maybe an inch or two Sunday night and then it'll wash away.

Topped out about 40 here, nice sunny day. Now getting a few mood flakes, not sure how since it's still pretty warm out. Hoping for a December 07 repeat here but avoid the massive January (I think) cutter that pretty much wiped out pack almost out

2 inches at the house, close to 5 inches at the groomer barn, will be curious to see how much kokadjo got when we get there this afternoon, thinking maybe close to 7? Good for a groomer test.

Im happy it's swinging north, we don't need it yet, 1-3 is fine with me. We're going to Kokadjo to look at one of their groomers for sale Sunday afternoon and might have enough snow to drive it around the yard there and test everything

First inch of snow overnight, only had flurries before. Going to move up driving our field stakes for the snowmobile club by a week cause if we wait the ground is going to be frozen pretty good. First fall since 2018 we won't do it the weekend before Thanksgiving so by pure anecdotal evidence hopefully we'll have a good winter! I'm skeptical about Sunday at lower elevation here in the valley, but up higher might do decent.
