Boston Bulldog

This might be a bit of a shot in the dark, but does anyone know where to find Wheeler-Hendon MJO RMM Phase diagrams for this past January? The bom.au site (http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/mjo/) appears to have a bit of a hole in it's archives. They have only been updated to December 2021, and the Current Phase 90 day diagram only reaches January 28th 2022. I'm hoping to find 40 or 90 day plots centered on January 2022. CPC site doesn't appear to have archived W-H diagrams unfortunately.

Yes, it indeed got sticky at around 12:30 from mid mountain on down (felt the snow starting to grab at the skis as I went down Nosedive and decided enough was enough). The morning was fantastic through, with the woods skiers left off of Lookout and skiers left of Starr still housing some pockets of fresh turns and good coverage. The top half of Lookout proper was awesome too. Between Jay yesterday and Stowe today, easily the best March tree skiing in recent years!

Gotta be a pretty nice upslope signal for you and NVT as the low departs

Been ripping here since this band developed overhead around noon. WWA just issued

All time favorite. Largest positive bust I’ve ever seen in Canton

Good to know we can lock in the dumbbell lows already

From Josh Fox a few weeks ago: "Judah Cohen had some interesting thoughts in his blog a few weeks ago about what might happen to the Alberta Clipper in a climate changed world. I don't want to get into the weeds on that topic now but it is important to note how glaringly impotent the clipper has been in terms of producing snowfall in Vermont this winter." I tried to look into what exactly Dr. Cohen had said but was unable to locate the blog post he wrote about the topic at length, so I don't know exactly what factors he was referencing for the "decline of the clipper". Regardless, it is interesting that people are looking into the fundamentals behind what drives the frequency of these events. Is this an overreaction to this winter's lack of potent clipper events? Or is this a trend that has been witnessed over longer timescales? (again, I wish I could find exactly what Dr. Cohen was referencing. If anyone knows where this was posted, I would certainly appreciate the link). Certainly an interesting topic though. Anyways, definitely encouraging to see these events survive the mid-range and appear set to deliver a wintery week. Definitely what we need for a good run of spring skiing as we progress deeper into March.

Excellent squall

Sun has arrived. Eyeballing 6-7" as a final total, easily our best snow event to date in the HRV

Very impressed in Albany with this band, hopefully this continues east for everyone. Starting to weaken a bit on radar though, no longer seeing 30dbz returns so I am guessing that there was some MHC enhancement in this area

Albany, near the 90-87 interchange

Wow, it is absolutely dumping out there! Checked SPC fronto analysis and didn't see a coherent signal behind this band. Could this be owed to some Mohawk-Hudson Convergence enhancement, or is it fueled by some other mesoscale factor that I am missing?

Nice little band developing here. Best rates and snow growth since 9am

Binghamton radar being down may make the back edge appear to be approaching faster

Does anyone have any good intel on Gore? Heading up there for the first time on Saturday. I'm very excited, Gore's been on my list for quite a while and now that I live only a 9 Iron away it seems like it's time to check it out. With the pack pretty decimated I'm not so sure heading into the trees will be worth it even after this storm, which is a shame because I've heard a lot of great things about the zones off of Burnt Ridge. Mostly looking to cruise around each pod and sample a few bump runs. The pitch off of Straight Brook looks very enticing.

The trailing "weaker" squall in Albany was substantially windier than the main line. I wonder if the lack of consolidation in this area made it difficult for winds to mix down as efficiently as they were able to in PA for example. Nice little event though, spent many years watching these dry up on approach to BOS, glad I finally had sufficient longitude to cash in.

Wrapping up here, looks like we have a weaker line coming in as a parting gift. Wow at that screengrab! I'm probably 2 miles SW of that location and we didn't see whiteout like that, looks like I just missed the wind

Main band has just arrived in Albany. Dumping snow but no wind yet

The goods are certainly still out there for those willing to look. Mad River was knee deep just outside of the boundary yesterday. Certainly some caution is still required with the thin base under the new snow, but tons of fun lines are back in play

All 3 will certainly have rain on the onset, and the mesos definitely have all 3 right on the knife’s edge with regards to sleet/snow totals (with Pat’s Peak looking especially tenuous on recent runs). Given the orientation of the snowfall gradient, as well as its latitude, Ragged is likely to walk away the best. Regardless, looks like plenty of sleet will be present throughout the region, as this 12z Hrrr sounding for Sullivan County shows.

Looking like this incoming event is just what the doctor ordered for MRG. Their most recent snow reports have been sounding increasingly concerned, but beginning the event with a nice layer of paste to buff out the base should work wonders. Top that off with fluff as the storm departs on Friday and most of NNE should see great turning conditions!

Measured 20 here in Canton and it was clear we were on the western edge of the band. Was shocked by the 30 measurement in Sharon, considering they are even further west

It's crazy here too! 6-7 inches in 2 hours

Heaviest rates yet, and strangely this is the calmest the wind has been all day. Huge flakes
