About ready to leave it. Things look fine as far as I can see. Doubt we see the totals on yesterdays runs but I think we are good for a widespread 1-3 inch event through the general DC/Balt corridor.

Normally don't visit the obs thread on setups where you are waiting to have snow develop over head for this very reason. Unless I want a good laugh.

mdhokie Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Hey Mitch where's my 6-10"? Hows it looking for PHL-BOS? I don't mind a bust as long as everyone else north busts too. At least the ski resorts are making snow. I can get my fix of the white dust via machinery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll retire there one day and we go up around once per month. I figured I had to go above 45N to not be disappointed with the annual snowfall. A bad year there is 50” and a good year is 120”+. That said, while they’ve had a few dustings so far this year (and all the ponds are already frozen over), little old Clarksburg here at 39N will beat them to an inch on the year. Until they blow by next week.... Love Vermont. I've thought about going up there someday. But I love the big 20"+ storms that we get here every few years. They tend to just get a ton of moderate events up there. I'm not sure where the best mix of consistent snowcover and lots of blockbuster storms is. Maybe somewhere in Massachusetts or Maine.

PSU - I turn 47 on Monday and have been studying that question for a few years now with an eye toward retirement. I think somewhere in NH between Concord and the white mountains gets a bit of both worlds - consistent snow and cashes in on nor’easters. That’s my retirement aim someday, wherever that place is.

If you go to Waterbury or other small towns near the ski areas, you'll see 20"+ storms almost every year on average. Burlington's 80" average is actually pretty low compared to other towns not so far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of day we spend way too much time dreaming of, why not enjoy it when the dream comes true? Maybe it’s the perception that every single storm has to be 24 and SN+....I guess I’m old enough now to appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea by bet is somewhere from northeast interior Mass up through interior eastern Maine is the best mix. That area gets some massive coastal but usually consistent snowcover also. I'd like to be somewhere that had snowcover for xmas 90% of the time. Colorado is my other option I've discussed with the wife. We love it there. I would give up the big noreasters for that lifestyle and the skiing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
