2020-21 is my only near normal snowfall year. It was good one. Feb ‘24 might be one of my all time favorites. I read through that thread every so often to remind myself that miracles do happen.

December ‘20 was great here. The one of the two 12” events since 2018-19. Of course…just a few weeks later we had King Grinch. That’s what I want to avoid. More than I want a big December snow.

Yeah it’s an impossible task. I use the KTYX radar most of the time. It’ll be interesting in the summer for sure. I’m used to good radar coverage.

Xmas ‘02. One of my favorite events.

It was a good event in Saranac Lake, better than originally expected. It’s early, but I’ve noticed 1) BTV underestimates snow potential here and 2) it’s often snowing even when the radar looks clear We’ll have non-accumulating flakes during the day and as soon as the sun sets BAM we’re approaching an inch of fluff.

45.2° at WXW1 (current location) 27.7° at WXW2 BDL is -1.0° on the month while SLK is -3.3° To @WinterWolf’s point, this has been a very nice step down. A slightly BN month in SNE with a brief mild up the last week of November and then possible cold right after is about as much as you can ask for.

Isn’t that a common thing among these establishments?

I’m modestly intrigued.

I don’t post here often, but happened to stumble upon this just now. Agree with what you said—it has been cloudy and windy (and snowy) with the coldest air masses—not great for rad cooling. I also agree with Bluewave on how warm Canada has been generally in recent years. If you look at most recent Decembers, with the exception of last year they have been headed in a warmer direction. The locals here talk about how fast a start it has been with snow, but we haven’t had any truly cold nights relative to what the area can get (not that I’m a local, I’m new to the area). It’s been a cold month overall however. The airport is -3.3° as of 11/17. Normal hi/lo for today is 41/21. In the village we had a low today of 24…but we’re currently at 27° and will struggle to hit freezing again.

Insane

I think it’s because last year was horrific, and once Dec 1 hits the clock starts ticking in every weenie’s head. If we get to Dec 15 and this pattern is delayed another two weeks with a Grinch in sight, this place will be hell. (I don’t think that’ll happen, but just saying) I just looked. It’s on something, but we’d certainly take lol.

Yes, but wasn’t the PAC jet virtually a destructive influence for every significant winter storm chance we had? My wife almost lost it after having to clean more snow off her car after work today. Some of her coworkers live at lower elevation and haven’t seen anything this fall. I told her that’s how we know we picked the right location. WXW2 has nearly reached my abysmal 2024-25 total in less than two weeks time.

The life we all want I told my wife she may get sick of life in SLK if she’s walking outside in early May to snow on the ground and flurries in the air.

He’s lurking…not Stein…not Phil…not even Wolfie’s estranged daughter Greta… He knows what we desire most and is hell bent on making sure it stays bottled up in Siberia. His heart’s an empty hole…

Updated my records in the other thread. Leader in the clubhouse until @alex and @powderfreak add in their numbers which are probably 3x mine already!
