I forgot about you. It’s nice to have someone else from Franklin Co. posting obs.

Same.

2.7” 35/20. -SN Pretty dense snow here due to mediocre snow growth. Roads are slick.

This picture was about an hour ago. Over an inch here now. 27/22. -SN

28/20. Steady light snow the past 2 hours in Greenfield. Roads are covered. Little under a half inch so far. That’s more than I expected to have this early in the day. The snow made it a more festive day to pick out a Christmas tree.

Might need to wait another week or so in most of New England but pattern looks decent. Congrats CT peeps tomorrow.

A tale of two different yeast strains.

Is it shredded or just a weak SW to begin with?

I can just see it now, distinct possibility that between tomorrow’s storm and next week, the Rt 2 corridor and N will be sitting at < 2” for the seven day period. Plenty of time to change though. I just like to keep my expectations in check.

I wasn’t out here then but I’ve always found that storm pretty hilarious. 4” in Greenfield but 40” if you went 30mi E or W. Perhaps the greatest downsloping of all time for the CRV.

Hey all, have fun! I had to bail, one of our long time Boy Scout troop leaders passed away last night. I’ve got some obligations that are ahead of weather geeking today.

Expectations need to be kept in check by anyone outside of W CT.

I remember driving from Cambridge to my grandmothers house in Mattapan and there was arctic sea smoke coming off Dorchester Bay.

Where is my sunny day as forecast? Cloudy with a light rain shower currently. 44/42

Yeah, this one is continuing last year‘s screw cycle for the Rt 2 corridor and N. Let’s hope the 16th doesn’t get squashed.

Ginx smiling…

54/52 with misery mist. This weather is a few weeks early.

Yes, the volatility of the pattern wrt to modeling, is why I have sat back and made very few posts the past few weeks. The pattern has snowy potential but everything is subject to change more than 3 - 4 days out. We wait. I have no doubt the interior sees a decent even before NYE.

Living in W MA I don't get to Sugarloaf or Rangely much anymore but it is some of the best skiing and hiking in the Northeast. I used to spend a lot of time in the Carrabassett Valley and met some of the most friendly people there and still keep in touch with a few. You are correct though, Sugarloaf is the best April skiing in the East and is a joy to hang out at apres ski. There is something about that mountain and the people there that has always been close to my heart. That view from when you round the corner on Rt-27 from Kingfield!

It's a fantastic mountain with mediocre lift capacity. It can be brutally cold in W Maine and that gondola was key in late Dec and Jan. There used to be a T-bar running from mid-mountain that was great because nobody used it and it was out of the wind.

FTX was most likely also a "laundromat". The problem is there are legit and useful crypto projects and then a lot of swindle shitcoin projects and platforms.

I haven't skied it yet but my brother says that new Bracket Basin area of Sugarloaf is pretty amazing terrain.

Those are 10% abv !

24/18 at midnight. Pretty much right on for December in NW MA.
