NW MA has pretty much had that look every storm.

Lots of clouds until late afternoon kept low level cold from getting scrubbed out.

Damn! Only got to 48° here.

At this point I would be ecstatic for 2 inches of snow.

It’s been cloudy here most of the day with just a few breaks here and there.

40/34. Overcast.

I'll trade my temp for a portion of your snowpack...

I'm far South of both of you and 36F.

They are the only flurries he's got.

Wow, that’s awful, sorry to hear that. Litigious sociopath. Take the plow and go finish him. j/k

The main groomers are fine, just some thin cover starting to show on some trails. No woods of course.

Plenty of cold weather helped Berkshire East, Mt Snow etc. lay a good base. We can’t really afford too many of these warm days though because it’s a pretty small bank account as far as base depth goes. I am not a huge IMBY guy for snow totals. Sure I like a lot of snow but I’m OK with getting shafted if the nearby mountains get snow and that just hasn’t been the case this year. I like snowshoeing and backcountry skiing but I don’t often have the luxury to drive two or three hours to find the goods. I rely on the Berkshires the Southern Greens and the Monads and it’s been tough in all of those areas. Whatever, we might still get a good storm or two in, otherwise hopefully blocking doesn’t show up to create April misery. I’ll still get outside and do things no matter what the weather.

That’s the thing, I’m happy with an inch or two here and there but it’s been tough to even get that in the upper CRV this year. I was out in Charlemont yesterday, not far from Berkshire East and there’s better snow pack in Gardner than there is out on the East Slope of the Berks. Just a tough year, nothing I can do about it but move forward.

You have about double what the Berkshires have. Crazy gradient this winter. I would have to imagine you were ahead of Mitch in the snow department this year.

Is January the only winter month we have now?

Throwing stars (shuriken) are Japanese actually. Part of the Ninjutsu lineage.

Nothing like a nice 40° rain shower in February.

I’m currently at all time ratter by a wide margin. It’s early February and the Berkshires have about 3” of snow cover. Unreal.

Right but come May watch us get perfectly placed coastal’s every weekend.

The lax upper levels could let this come further NW.

It's certainly something legit to track, which is better than the deflated weenie, lets jump to spring default.

I thought the GFS looked a little better at 500mb.

Eh' we will fluctuate until the 12z runs tomorrow. This one is still a contender.

We're getting there. Tomorrow will be model consensus.
