Tom12309 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Waking up last night to the rain drumming off the roof... an inch of slushy sleet and enough freezing rain to pull down some more pine branches in Schenectady. It's not just that I moved down here from Vermont where I was spoiled by the amount of snow we'd get. This winter is starting to become frustrating and I don't even slide on snow any more. I ride a bicycle. Riding a bicycle on the road in January is not right and it's really not right that I haven't had to clean salt off it afterward. It is beginning to get on my nerves.

Tommorow should be very warm so curious how much of this meaty snow will melt. Most of the snow off the trees has melted but the snow in the yard has maintained a beautiful glassy appearance. Hardly any of this is gonna melt tomorrow. Might lose like a half inch to an inch at most...takes a ton of energy to melt this type of pack.

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 What a difference a year makes. Ski areas in the Sierras are around 400" this year while they were struggling last year. Great help for the multi-year drought out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski areas in the Sierras are around 400" this year while they were struggling last year. Great help for the multi-year drought out there. Years ago I went out to the Nordic JO's in Truckee, my niece and nephew were on the NE team (that won the overall, BTW) and at the bottom of Donner Pass is a 20 or 30 foot tall monument to the Donner party. It is how deep the snow was when they got there. It was about 70 degrees during the event, I wondered aloud to my nephew if the snow would last. We were standing on the porch of the building at the start/finish line. You stepped down about ten inches onto the snow. He laughed. He said the porch we were standing on was about 15 feet in the air. When the JO committee was looking at the site, they asked the host club what they were going to do about the giant boulders in the start/finish area. They said not to worry, they'd take care of themselves. Alpine Meadows was the best skiing I have ever experienced. You just had to mind the signs that said 'if it looks like this, don't pick it up. It's an unexploded avalanche shell'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year climo gives them a hand and hopefully we avg. Never know what the latter half of winter has in store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Paul Gordon Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 OK...If I were dreaming of a place to be in New England where the snow pack really builds, storms tend to last awhile and summers are as cool as you can get them here, where would I go (meaning a town, not an uninhabited mountaintop)?

I'm at 164" at 3,000ft which is a foot more than last year's total. 18" on the ground that I can walk on at 1,500ft. Now just need some upslope pow. This is night and day different from last year.
