    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
  2. TheMainer
    -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
  6. TheMainer
    I like the Euro AI up here for Thursday but I don't trust the machines....
  7. TheMainer
    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?
  9. TheMainer
    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)
  10. TheMainer
    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
  12. TheMainer
    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.
  13. TheMainer
    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!
  14. TheMainer
    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.
  15. TheMainer
    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.
  16. TheMainer
    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.
  17. TheMainer
    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
  18. TheMainer
    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.
  19. TheMainer
    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
  20. TheMainer
    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.
  21. TheMainer
    I hope that swings south 120 miles and destroys Connecticut, last thing I want is that BS to start off the season so we spend 4 weeks cutting our trails back open!
  22. TheMainer
    If we can avoid the 3 inch rain Grinch on Christmas I'm all for it, until we hit Christmas day I'm not getting my hopes up.
  23. TheMainer
    The Grinch is insatiable, it'll probably be one of those straight south north runners where Dryslot West is snow and us east is rain through the maritimes We somehow didn't lose all our snow on Christmas of 2020, but did most of it. We got a small storm a few days later which was enough to go and scout out logging damage on the North end of our trail system by snowmobile, though it was boney.
  24. TheMainer
    We have a white Christmas well over 90% of the time, that day and one back in the 90s are the only ones I remember (not living in Southern Maine) that didnt meet the white Christmas definition.
  25. TheMainer
    Correlation does not equal causation, but in this case I hope it does! We need a good snowmobile registration year or we're going to start having some serious trail funding issues. I had to beg and plead for the state to give us 50% of what we need for a major reroute due to an out of stater buying land and shutting off a snowmobile trail used since 1972...
