We've been on the same page of late. It was really good off piste, and protected en piste. Got into Horace's first time this year which is always fun. A little breezy but not nearly as bad as I was expecting.

Not sure about Albany in the HV but I feel like parts of the Catskills have done great this year. Esp north western Catskills. I skied Plattekill in Roxbury for the first time this year (love it btw) and have been paying attention to their ski reports and totals. They've gotten hit hard. A number of systems have been driven SSE through there and skirted parts of SNE and CNE moreso than a traditional clipper track.

No worries whatsoever.. I know it seems locally high. The overall number of events has been impressive. Even the pennies have added up this year. Will mentioned my area, in far east Btown, is sort of banked up against the western slope of the ORH hills, mild as it may be. But the active northern stream disturbances have suited us pretty well even if the differences might only be a quarter inch here, an inch there or whatever.

Unclear what the differences are but here's my event log fwiw. Have pics of a lot of these- 25/26 70" 12/2 6.5" moderate pac s/w, cold air in place, retreating hp, primary near BM, but warm layer pushed far inland. SN->ZR/RN with fluff overnight 12/14 2" weak ocean storm / amplification moving offshore, cold temps. Small flakes fell all morning, bit of an IVT. 6-8" jackpot NYC/NJ 12/23 1" E Canada clipper to the south and west. Minor bust, late burst for White christmas 12/26 5" light. Another clipper focused CT/NY but a nice late burst/mesoband did us good. 1/1 2" beautiful fluff with weak N stream disturbance followed by arctic fropa 1/4 .5" light snows with weak, dry clipper 1/6 .5" more light northern stream action, 2-4" inches up north 1/7 .5" sleet, wet flakes. Followed by some rain. Net loss. 1/17 5" two part clipper, light overnight to dense and sticky. Overperformer 1/18 4.5" an inch dense as moisture streamed in, then 3.5" fluffy overnight mid-level magic from ocean storm 1/21 2" fluff. Surprise northern stream waa event over deep cold air. 4" in N CT/ ORH 1/25-26 22". 2 part HECS with true arctic airmass. Swfe on roids dropped 15" settled, small dense flakes, then 7" on day 2, pure downy fluff. 2/7 4". Northern stream s/w, arctic fropa hooking into distant ocean storm. Cold, high ratio fluff. Overperformed. Crushed NEMA, SECT. 2/10 .5". Northern stream convective blobs on a weak fropa. Bad sounding w/ warmish temps, dry air. Minor bust locally. 2/20 4" heavy. snow to sleet to snow on a swfe, redeveloper. 2/23 8" dense. All time blizzard. SEMA/RI jack. Fringed a bit. Windy, dry snow. 2/25 2" fluffy. Fairly vigorous, fast moving northern stream s/w. Widespread 1-3" in SNE

70 after today!

That low level stuff has indeed persisted and we should finish at 2"

Ineedsnow give us a signal if torch tiger is holding you hostage

The heavy initial burst is moving quickly but ENX suggests a little back filling and lingering low level snows maybe.

I called it 8 but included about a half inch predawn

Yep. Quick hitter but SN+ out there

Well this town goes from like 300' to over 1000' and I'm at 540'. I'd def take your location on the hill over mine. 1k to 1k I bet there isn't much diff. Our latitude helps in swfes and maybe we catch the stray streamer but we also get subsidence here more often and are further away from the moisture in ocean storms.

I'd put my average at like 55" but who knows. We haven't sniffed 55" in years. But I'm at 68" atm

Solid A on a curve Snowy and cold, barely any r*** Good skiing and great skating Deep, deep pack Well AN snowfall already with more than a month to go

Does anyone know what Boston is reporting?

Tbh I think it was apparent in the valley too Was very surprised with BOX's 12-22" blizzard warning for Hampshire and Hampden county. NBM was weenieish, but not sure what in the blend of models had anything close on the high side. Anyway, maybe 7" here

Remarkably little wind at Berkshire East. Was maybe 3" on arrival but snowed pretty good all morning. All the terrain is open and skiing well.

Wet unplowed roads at the Greenfield rotary, looked like maybe an inch new

Berkshire East reporting 6" and says they're open...

ENX showing a very impressive Hudson Valley shadow. Echoes just disappearing over the Taconics. Interesting case study. Ct Valley shadow not quite as bad but the radar is higher off the ground too. UMass radar shows decent snow across the adjacent couple towns. Already better than Boxing Day probably. Anyway, relatively windy by our standards, some decent banding moving into Btown locally.

Nice. I was there too, also on Icelantics ;), first tracks on Goniff and Master Magician, and killer runs down red and green lines. Didn't hang out long enough to get the opening of black magic after the comp. But yeah it was awesome.

Blizzard warnings for Hampshire County with 12-22" in the text Don't hold back baby

Yep The board chanting USA after the GFS pulls the rug on a blizzard is true irony

If you believe the GFS take down the warning and don't even bother with the advy here Swfes >>> coastals

Picked up about an inch overnight to bring the final to 4" Killington reported a foot.

Nice. We're also under a heavy echo but it's like 75% sleet. Still a good 3" true pasting.
