The Beast can be as open as they want to be. Heck of a way to start the season. Meaty powder, and now here comes the light stuff.

fwiw, that one isn't mine/ not us But folks get the picture... Basically straight to 98% open. Heavy stuff skied in today, light stuff this afternoon and tonight and they're set up. Tomorrow should be great.

Not sure whats up with that hole in S Quabbin. I posted a pic showing over 7. That looks more like a low end, post sleet compacted measurement.

Seems like we're flipping to mixed precip now. A little over 7".

I say yes. Berkshire East is opening for the powder day, fwiw.

Yep. 6.25" across town at slightly lower elevation. Nice and fluffy right now.

Several years ago I posted an AFD on that beast that I found on a UVM wx chat/archive from those days. I actually looked for the UVM site a few days ago but couldn't find. Do you know if it still exists?

Not sure folks realize just how crushed NNE mts got in March 01. 3-4'.

got reports that Ragged was really nice today and almost springlike. Also that SR was very busy and got bumped up quick on trail... Which some mind more than others.

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.
