I had no doubt it was coming even up here, right now looks like the weenie 1 inch QPF band will be directly over our heads, hopefully we can trend that down to 0.5 inches and our pack will be intact come Saturday.
-
If I never saw 0.25 or more of ice again it'd be too soon cause I'm the guy who has to go clear our trail system after, 98 was pure devastation up here, you can keep that all south of the Pike as far as I'm concerned
-
Looking at the Euro and GFS runs we'd be right on the line of wintery and rainy even way up here, but overall not terrible. Looks like all the events will be close so plenty of time to trend those all south a bit to get everyone else in on the game.
-
Little over 4 inches at the house when I got back from the snowmobile club meeting, closing in on 6 inches at the groomer barn, I don't expect much snow tonight but maybe the radar will fill back in.
-
About 3 inches down and snowing at a good clip, half way to my Wish-cast of 6".
-
First flakes starting here. Looks like around 0.5 to 0.6 of QPF, hoping for some denser 10:1 type stuff so we can build our base to withstand the next couple weeks.
-
We'll see how this plays out, we're going to be close to the edge at the house for sure versus the groomer barn which should do better
-
I think we're riding the razors edge at the house, groomer garage should do 2-3 inches better I think based on what I've seen, there is a change 6 miles north of here where they split the county for the NWS purposes and it's almost spot on overall as there is a few hundred feet gain in elevation between here and there.
-
Our average high is 27F Christmas week, so that wouldn't be brutal here, unless accompanied by 2 inches of rain...
-
Honestly I've found below -15 it doesn't make much difference, we've snowmobiled at -25 to -35 and been comfortable with high windshields with low cross breeze, versus -10 and high cross wind was the worst I've ever rode. That -40 morning my old 95 Jeep sprung right to life versus at -10 it had an issue you had to hold your foot on the gas for 5 mins to prevent it from stalling, never figured that out before she rotted out a few years later.
-
Correction, -16 in the Main Stream valley I grew up in I drove through, where I saw -40 as a kid in 2009 before driving to school the day Maine set their record low at Big Black
-
-14.1F here was the low, driving it's up to -8 to -11 depending if I'm on a hill or in a gulley, good chance we stake the lake this weekend for snowmobiles which would be the earliest ever since I started doing it in 2014, 2nd earliest is boxing day. Hoping for at least 4 inches here tomorrow night, enough to get the railbed panned at least so we can ride from the house up to the mountain.
-
Car thermometers are always funky, but was showing -1 to -3F once I got 20 miles north of I-95 on the way home, but I we have 2.3F at the house currently which I trust way more.
-
3.25 inches of Arctic fluff here overnight from this clipper, leaf blower type stuff.
-
Euro and GFS looked good at 0z up here for Wednesday night, now the 6z cut back on the GFS, let's hope it's just off hour issues
-
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!

First Winter Storm to kickoff 2025-26 Winter season
TheMainer replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
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.

First Winter Storm to kickoff 2025-26 Winter season
TheMainer replied to Baroclinic Zone's topic in New England
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.
