JC-CT Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 If it's gonna thaw, might as well get some nice weather. I just want a week of snow every day, followed by 3 - 4 days of mid 80s, repeat. Is that so much to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have all of Feb. and March to do that so it's plausible at least. Selling April? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skivt2 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 3 hours ago, powderfreak said: I heard from some friends in Western Maine that said they've never seen snow disappear so fast as in that thaw. They were going backcountry skiing in Baxter State Park and said they lost about 2 feet in 48 hours. That thaw didn't have the usual CAD and seemed worst to the east as we at least went below freezing to a mixed bag about 18 hours prior to similar latitude in eastern New England. We lost a similar amount of snow in central VT at Pico. Easily 2 feet gone. Went from 100% open Monday-Thursday including unofficial glades to essentially two ways down, one upper mountain by Friday. The only trail that survived up top had snowmaking and it had bare patches and water flows across it. Folks who skied Saturday had a positively biased view of what happened as the inch or so that fell pre dawn covered up the dirt that had been exposed and provided a winter appeal. The skiing was still terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet we lost 12-14" in the base area though and the summit Stake dropped 10" down to 35". It was ugly but not a complete disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damage In Tolland Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I hate when there’s nothing to track. Maybe NNE can track the one next week, but CNE and SNE are done until further notice. Just gives you nothing to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typhoon Tip Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Yeh... not to be snarky or implicit but ... it's an internet thing. I'll stop shy of addiction, but ... people (and it's really of the relative to the iPhone Zombieism phenomenon) are reliant to these sort of technological offerings/diversions there in, like to the point where they don't know how to put it down, and in some cases, cannot seem to break from it at all. I have friends who will wake out of a dead sleep in the throws of the night, to check the Euro run - I'm like...man. People are walking off curbs into traffic thumbing the screens of their handhelds... utterly transfixed and unable to put it down. It's not the exact same phenomenon, no ...but again, relatively the same. What did society do 20 years ago when there was no internet - or if there was, it was an internet vastly barren compared to the compact peta bytes of data at people's disposal now? For many, they don't even know a world without the internet... and for the rest of us, we seem to have forgotten. The access to weather models is a recent event in human history... as is the case with any special interest groups reliance on the internet. The information access to anything, gets quite similar to a drug, when there is a constant siege to keep one's excitement elevated. Remove it, and the sans environment becomes that more unpleasant. But it's no different than not having it at all - however untenable that reality may be. I can remember circa 1993 ... and the weather channel days of glory. I used to tune in every hour at 22 min past for the extended outlook in the hopes that they would pain some white on eastern New England, with the words watching and an arrow point at us. I can remember 10 years prior, this did not exist... I used to tune in at 6 pm daily to the local forecasts provided by the local CBS (out of Kalamazoo Michigan) and NBC (out of Grand Rapids Michigan) for their take on when the next 'exciting' weather even would take place. Otherwise, it was daydreaming... Now? ... people are tuned in...always. It ironic that the weather its self (this particular internet special interest group) is actually forcing people to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
