  1. 700mb fronto pivoting in towards Nantucket means business
  2. Great band moving in now. Going to be a real pain to measure given that it is already blowing around. 25/22 and measured an average of just over 3 inches in 3 spots
  3. Not seeing too much evidence of a dumbbell at this hour
  4. Light snow has begun. 29/24 so it appears I am just northwest of the coastal front
  5. The Plan? Increase barometric pressure over the ENE Low by flying a gigantic plane in an anticyclonic direction over it and depositing tons of sinking air from the storage compartment, thus eliminating the Low and consolidating our storm.
  6. Well, the EURO finally sold me, will make the trek from red-tagger school here in Albany to the old weenie spot near the Blue Hills. This pretty much guarantees a subby zone down I-95 from me to George
  7. Noticed a closed isobar over the convection at 36.5 N 71 W at hour 66 on the GFS. While most models have been showing some convection out front, this surface reflection is stronger on the 12z evolution. I'm interested if that influences more of a NE before the system closes off and pivots NNW Likely just model aberrations though
  8. Just a phenomenal day at Stowe. Nosedive was smooth and buttery, fantastic conditions to open up the throttle and dig into high speed GS turns at the top of the main pitch as the trail widens. Goat was excellent between the Liftline entry and Midway, as was the entirety of Starr. Woods were also good, I encountered some thin spots that necessitated creative route finding in the tight softwood lines at the top of Tres Amigos as one normally does in that area, but overall coverage was solid. Southwest winds were howling and Forerunner went on hold around 1pm, but still managed to grab 12 hot laps there before heading to Gondi. Chin Clip was very interesting, with aspects that were more exposed to the wind being stripped down to blue ice, but right around the corner would be powdery bumps. Kept me on my toes. The Lookout Double opened in relief of the Forerunner. I had never seen that chair running before, let alone ride it, so it was a nice to experience the leisurely 15 minute jaunt up the mountain. Love those old school lifts, hope they don't touch it anytime soon. In all, Stowe definitely delivered. I always walk away impressed with the vertical feet one can accumulate there over the course of a day. 2k per run off both Forerunner and the Gondola is nothing to sneeze at. As discussed earlier in this thread, its pretty difficult to find lappable lifts with vertical as significant as that. Once word gets out that conditions are as good as they are right now, I expect this weekend to be a zoo pretty much everywhere.
  9. Great to hear! I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the website indicated that ropes had been dropped on Goat this morning. Between the majority of the Front 4 being opened, and MRG dropping 99% of their ropes, it seems like it's officially game on in the Northern Greens! (Though I suspect my bases may disagree with me by this time tomorrow)
  10. Heading up to Stowe tomorrow to harvest some of the scraps from Monday, hoping the 12z RGEM scores a coup with this incoming clipper!
  11. Over to snow in Sunapee NH (1300ft). 36 and dropping
  12. Ring of very intense convection now completely surrounding the eye. This is getting interesting
  13. Yeah that was legit when it rolled through. Hail seems to have missed to the north, likely over Guilderland
