Can they put the backboards back up on the basketball courts after the snow melts? I promise not to pass or back anyone down in the low post, just launch 3s.

Today would normally be one of those unbearable April days that you can't get warm and spend your afternoon in a shawl looking at Zillow, but with full snow cover it's downright balmy. Edit just glanced at BOX and yikes I guess it helps we don't have that here

Glad to see him go, we needed some moisture to have our big brushfire after all the wind events in the last year. State bans them May 1st. If I had put a match to the pile before Thursday the neighborhood would have gone up.

Much as I love this map, really the orange spot here should extend north all the way to the NH border at least

absolutely hammering snow/graupel

They're looking for a new site in SEMA, but they expect it will be a year or more before it's operational.

BOX looks like a tidal wave is about to break on your head.

It probably is.... Radar beam is nearly a mile off the ground

That top picture under the powerline is my little usual touring descent from the summit. It's not much but we make do with what we've got locally. If you squint you can make out the fire tower in the background.

I hiked up to Mt Lincoln in Pelham (1200') and there was like 6.5"-7" at 915 this morning. It was dumping then and has been dumping since then so they might well be pushing 10 by now.

Temporarily renamed to Poundtown. We should make it permanent, what's there to lose?

Close to 4"

Magic says they might reopen on Saturday... unfortunately, I think tomorrow would be the day... Update 4/15: There is a major “winter” storm hitting Magic Thursday night through Friday. While Red Lift is already in off-season repair mode and can’t operate, if there is enough snow on lower mountain, we may open Green Chair to mid-mtn for Saturday April 17th, just for the heck of it. Since there is no base snow left, it would be all-natural, no grooming, whatever it is type stuff. There would be no lodge or take-out food or rentals etc. Just the T-BAR for refreshments, chili and dogs, and Tavern for a few bevies. Laid-back, take a few indie bonus runs. Tickets at the window would be $39 if it is a go. Won’t know that until late Friday as we see how much falls at base of Green Lift. Since we are closed for the 20/21 season, I guess this would be the unofficial earliest opening for the 21/22 season–IF it can happen. Stay tuned here.

all it takes is one or two rotten limbs and you've got one too

can't set expectations any lower than zero even in my interior location with 540'. It's ALL upside baby

some of this may be location specific... at least here the 12z run at 18hrs is saturated to h55 whereas the 6z run at 24 hrs was drying out rapidly above h7. Whether that's just mid level low noise, or it's easing back on the dry air as we get closer is unclear.

About 18" shy for many

yeah, that 3km would take the lowlands out of the game

Yeah apparently covid doesn't care very much about your diet. But that was 5 weeks in and things had been going well to that point. The last week didn't eat much of anything.

I just did 6 weeks vegan, and felt really good for the most part and it wasn't that hard. But I was ready to start bringing in some meat and dairy by the end. I think it's a decent way to do it... not necessarily make it a full permanent life decision but take a few weeks at a time here and there and use it as a cleanse and a way to change things up for a bit, and integrate some principles and cooking techniques into normal weeks.

I get the feeling that the first skin up at 7AM on Friday is great and powdery and the second skin up is sticky and borderline not even worth it.

I'd have to call Downdraft the run of the day at Killington. Moguls nice and well spaced and plenty of snow. OL was good too, but bumps a little tight. Gotta be super quick.

UMass up 3-0 in the 2nd in the NCAA hockey final Edit- 4-0 after 2 Edit- 5-0 final! National Champs!

Killington was pretty sweet today. Melt down in style, water water everywhere. Get out and walk, no problem. A good chunk of the hill was open and still offering slushy bumps and snow cone consistency underneath. Not sticky in the least. Great to get that one more big day in, now we can move on.

Hope DMX can somehow pull through. Reports aren't good.
