Logan11 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 My last little plowed snow pile is down to about a 3 by 12 inch patch, 2 inches deep. RIP by tomorrow morning sometime. Course my whole driveway is full sun all day long now.... Way back in a wooded area we have ...still some patches, but Monday will exterminate them in all likelihood. uote name='HubbDave' timestamp='1302300376' post='618685'] Still snowpiles in my yard, and 1 shaded swath with a good amount of snow,. Just went by a neighbors house and he has an 8' snow pile I'm guessing they made just for fun since it in in his front yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Eventually, some major IT battles to fight before it goes public. Ginx,riding up the tram at Alyeska for the last run of the day. On and off snow all day 24+" in the last 24hrs. Skiing a pair of Rossignol Phanthom 108's. Major pontoons, a little to stiff for me but they hold a line and stable at high speed. Little tough to get around in the tighter chutes. I'll demo something with a little more sidecut tomorrow. I hear there's still snow at home but it's going fast. Whoa, tower swing, what a trip. Nice weather station Btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the webcams the place looks empty There are people here but the place is huge. They haven't had the best year but I've timed it well as Ullr has been looking over us. There's all the snow you need. There are rec skiers here but Alaska attracts the best of the best. Lots of ex-pat New Englanders. We've been skiing some true big boy lines and when we meet people in these places they are very often originally from VT/Nh/wmass. Tough place to get here but well worth it.Nirvana really.

nzucker Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Hey, it could happen HM (the good one, not Accuweather) has been talking about a major late-season snow threat with a -NAO developing and much colder temperatures in the Northeast by mid-April. He said there's a semi-Archembault signal for a storm associated with a phase change in the NAO. Most seem to be on board for below normal temperatures in New England for the second half of April...it's already been a chilly spring in my opinion, and the 18z GFS brings flakes down to NYC on April 18th...Don't know if we'd see any accumulations down here, latest accumulating snowfall for my town was 0.2" on 4/24/1967...believe we had a T on 4/27/1967 and 5/10/1977...this would be a huge hit for the Berkshires, however.

ski MRG Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 One more for the road, Pete? The spring prancers better get ready to cry fo they mamas. I'm going to bring Winter back with me. They've extended studded snow tire season through May here this year as more snow is expected in the coming weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've extended studded snow tire season through May here this year as more snow is expected in the coming weeks. Yeah, that bomb over the Bering Strait has brought a chilly airmass into AK...-20C 850s all the way down to the Aleutians with lots of light precipitation in the Anchorage region (good signal for upslope in the mountains). If we get that amplified Aleutian ridge to redevelop, which has been quite common this winter with the strong Niña, then we should see that burst of cold air come down into the CONUS. The 18z GFS pulls the -10C isotherm into New England after a major snowstorm, and then another threat develops in the uber long range around 300 hours, but that's probably BS. In any case, it looks as if the few warm days ahead of Monday's cutter will be curtailed rapidly by an arctic airmass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damage In Tolland Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Congrats everyone SO...THINK WE ARE LOOKING AT A CLUSTER OF STRONG...ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH PERHAPS A LOT OF LIGHTNING...BUT BECAUSE OF RELATIVELY STABLE AIR IN THE LOWEST LEVELS THEY SHOULD BE NON-SEVERE. THEY MAY FIRST OCCUR OVER SOUTHERN NH AND NORTHERN MA LATE IN THE AFTERNOON BUT COULD DEVELOP ANYWHERE IN CT/RI/SOUTHERN MA BEFORE MIDNIGHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Euro coming around to the modified Arctic invasion end of the month. Do you have access beyond D10?

ski MRG Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Has the snow finally ended up there? Able to fly at all? Yes, we're air mobile again. It can snow at anytime though. At high elevations it seems there are always flakes in the air even when the sky above is blue. Today was caavu. (Clear air above view unlimited). Pretty amazing where we've been landing.

That northern stream cold core gets a little further south than some other runs of the ECM, but it's still rather mild since the 12z ECM keeps the northern stream feature entirely to the north instead of clearing the area with a strong FROPA as per the 0z GFS. 0z GFS does get chilly with -10C 850s down to Indy/Chicago behind that monster storm....flakes definitely fly for a lot of NY/PA/New England....especially big hit for the Laurel Mountains and WV. Yes, we're air mobile again. It can snow at anytime though. At high elevations it seems there are always flakes in the air even when the sky above is blue. Today was caavu. (Clear air above view unlimited). Pretty amazing where we've been landing. Wow man sounds like a trip of a lifetime...I want to get up there so badly sometime, a few of my friends have gone and brought home the most stunning pictures. One of my floormates at Middlebury was from Anchorage and would always show me shots of Alyeska on his phone, was an avid skier and frequently returned for XMAS/Spring break...I think he's back there now enjoying himself greatly, post-graduation, probably skiing some of the places you know.
