Berkshire East did quite well overnight. Definitely 5" of light snow up top by first chair and was snowing hard with an extra 1-2" when I left. Radar looks great too.
3"+ now at the house and looks to keep up a while
2-4" with an elevation gradient in this area has been on the table for days. Berks/S Greens jack, perfect, but I don't see much suggesting anything has changed locally.
It did the coup de grace on the ice in my driveway so I was grateful for that. Only about 25% snow coverage left but looks to be back by Saturday night.
I've refrained from chiming in lately but the fact is you have to play the hand you're dealt. If we had super snowy and warm we'd be skiing. If we had early Jan 2007 we'd be out taking walks. Of those who complain most bitterly I'm not sure they've ever posted evidence of going outside in the winter in any conditions. The south beckons.
Ice fishermen reporting 8-12" depths in general. Probably more in the cold spots. I'd have to think the ponds even in eastern MA would be plenty safe, but who knows these days. It's like night and day, in temps and mindset.
Yeah, it's been amazing. I'd say the best skating since 09/10. We've had good days since then, but not so early and so consistently. Pickup pond hockey is happening all over the valley like we were transported back in time 50 years.
Yeah you can see backfilling over the northern part of the Catskills. They've already done well and should keep stacking up.
Flakes have begun here after a pretty solid period of virga
