Almost 3" just along and N of Rt 202 through S Hadley/Granby/Btown. Maybe a little channeling S of the east/west running Holyoke range? Only 1.5" at my house, with the streamer slowly sinking south.

Heavy snow. Band is low to the ground too. https://emmy7.casa.umass.edu/umaxx/

Yeah. We covered but I dunno if it'll last. Maybe enough to spin it at least. May not be done though.

We counting the high ground of the berks as CNE? fair if so.

was a bit of a disappointment today. They blew huge whales but didn't spread em out, and actually lost open terrain from Sunday even after 3 days closed for snowmaking. With that said, we got into the woods in SNE before Christmas, and that is certainly no guarantee in any given year. So +1 there.

Berkshire East has been closed and blowing snow for 3 days after being in very good shape already on Sunday. Magic also reopening at 100%. Get it tomorrow folks.

That was my first time there. It's awesome, will be back. I really hope Magic does well tomorrow but we'll be skinning the Beast I think. Love the aerobic workout early season and actually excited for a couple good groomer runs.

Keep retrograding that ridge offshore and let the -epo dump straight into the 4 corners. Screw GRB we want a blizzard for GFK. That's what I'm cheering for.

At this range I wouldn't rule anything out, but for now I'd just like to mitigate damage in ski country.

I don't think it's too late to wrap this thing way up out west and occlude it.

At least it should be an easy thread title change.

didn't take too long. Full coverage again and moderate snow.

might not be a bad thing if that lead surface wave that forms off the carolinas gets going a little

Finally accumulating on the ground now. If we finish without any grass visible I'll call it a small victory.

We're snowing pretty hard here but it's all rate driven to no surprise. Radar is a bit ragged unfortunately.

That moisture plume straight out of the BoC

gl to the Belchertown expats that have moved on to snowier pastures.

4.5"

Just shy of 1.5" in Btown

Will be keeping an eye on DPs tomorrow morning before getting too bullish on advy criteria for this part of the valley. But as of now, we not complaining.

Okemo is typically reliable for early season conditions

December 2010 was uber painful here with a big snowstorm in Boston on the 18th IIRC and a Mt Rushmore bust locally on Boxing Day. But the same patience grasshopper advice would have applied because Jan and Feb were wonderful. Edit- seemed like the big snow was the 20th in SEMA not Bos
