One year ago today... Almost unfathomable for Novie

Thank goodness for folks out here that the WAA frontogenesis in part one of this system looks far more robust than Boxing day ever was, where many picked up less than 3" total. Almost like we get a SWFE to start and then we'll take any bonus we get from mid level magic thereafter, along with the caution flags associated with downsloping and banding that we're used to in the valley. Give us the relatively high floor, evenly distributed, and the usual favored spots for dynamic systems can do their thing after that.

That's like the bizarro canadian for this area

Poutine for lunch, my goodness.

Sneaky warm layer?

I think you mean March 01 but even though the capture was a bit late, we still did pretty well out here for that one. After like a foot on the front side we picked up several more on the back with lingering convergence snows

Hopefully we get a series of transient blocks to help moderate any pacific airmasses in the LR. It'll get stale pretty quickly and favor elevation, but get us on the board while we're semi fresh and then we can sacrifice one to base building up north.

Skiing aside, give us either one over 12/92

Perfect day to get those dahlia bulbs out of the ground now that they've seasoned for the winter.

When blizzard24 chimes in we take note. Wish he'd chime in more often

Raindrops falling are more wide than tall as they get bigger. (Pancake shape if updrafts get strong in convection) As they get smaller and/or freeze they become more spherical, so the horizontal polarized radar beam and the vertical polarized radar beam start getting closer in their returned power.

Congrats Down here we had a coating on mulch, which I enjoyed looking at even as it rained. We're a strange bunch.

That's a fantastic job by them getting that much top to bottom open already. Beautiful day for skiing too.

Nice. Has been a fantastic day out there. 27 for the low here, which was the first hard frost, though we'd tickled freezing a few times already.

Trick or treater record smashed like high mins, nearly doubled actually. Maybe it's a good sign for winter.

You mean those aren't sticks and branches falling?

Is there anything worse than running out of candy on Halloween? Group of 15 kids comes marching down the driveway and I have like 12 chocolate bars left and find myself quickly scrambling around for protein bars and bags of sunflower seeds. Who's an a-hole? This guyyyy

EF3 140mph per FWD

Also spitballing but it seems like the BN temps this month occurred mainly in cool overcast/rainy days and in weak CAA in the wake of departing systems with breezes up. Makes sense they'd overperform in that case compared to if we had a bunch of calm radiating nights with big fake cold anomalies. Up until yesterday morning we hadn't had a frost at my house, which is a bit later than normal. But it's not like it's been torchy for the most part either.

Nothing to prevent your town from doing it on their own, such as was done in the picturesque village of Woodstock, VT. Helps to have some Rockefellers to pay for it, like they did. But there's always prop 2 1/2.

Eh all that practicing for rn+ will probably serve him well come week 16 @ home just before Christmas

We're grateful for the warm weather Please support your local farmers, we are very lucky to have them.

To take nothing away from Castlerock but I also will usually keep to Mt. Ellen on a powder day. I do feel that Sugarbush shortchanges operations there however, and I became quite frustrated at them last year. Never runs the Inverness Chair... Makes very little effort to get anything open if there is any kind of wind delay, even as it subsides... Seems to let the North Ridge chair go down and stay down for extended periods, even though mid mountain is virtually unskiable if you have to do the runout every time. I hope things improve over there because the terrain is outstanding and there are pockets of untouched super deep snow to be found days after most other things are tracked out. It's a gem.

I have recorded 361" in the 6 years at my current location, quite close to your 60" contour. Not a long sample but it's been spot on.
