Wind, warm, rain, the three snowpack killers all at once.

Juliancolton Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 I'm up a couple degrees from earlier in the evening, hovering around 10F now. I'm not as certain of a subzero low as I had been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 7.9° at a little past midnight. I don't think I'll make 0° but most likely will surpass last winters low, of 5.1° last February 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdrag Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Good Saturday morning NYC nw-ne suburbs... a chilly one over the suburbs snow cover. Generally near zero to above at 6am. Minor stuff next couple of days, mainly for the I84 high terrain... Tomorrow-Sunday the 20th: a dusting to 1 inch parts of the I84 high terrain, mainly during the daylight hours. Tuesday the 22nd: since the storm on Monday the 21st is still not quite close enough... a dusting to 1 inch possible I84 corridor Tuesday morning-midday. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaGrangewx Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 skied Magic Mountain up in Vermont yesterday, it was opening day for the upper mountain and by noon they had dropped the ropes on everything. The snowfall increased a bit as I drove up through columbia county but by the time I got to Manchester Vt the depths were very impressive. It was beautiful up there after the fresh snowfall and cold temps since. Settled powder depth on the hill was around 24-30" and I had waist deep first tracks on a few runs. Overall Incredible day 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There and Pico Mountain are both great alternatives to the corporate resorts and offer that traditional skiing experience for an affordable price.

gravitylover Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Berkshire East too. I want to do a tour of places like those and Upstate NY is filled with them. It won't happen this year but it needs to happen soon. Another good sized area popped onto my radar this year, Bristol, and with all the extra time I ended up going down the google maps rabbit hole and sorta laid out a trip. If you could hit it on the right weather cycle there are some pretty kickass powder areas around NY like Bristol or McCauley that fly under the radar even better than the New England areas other than a couple. Pico is great, totally gets you that high peaks experience but at this point you'd be more likely to find me at Middlebury Snow Bowl, another one of those killer powder hills.

CPcantmeasuresnow Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Blue wave posted it somewhere yesterday but the last 10 Christmas days have really been horrible temperature wise. It’s a streak that goes against all odds Pretty much the inverse odds of having 10 straight years of Christmas days topping out from 10 to 20° It will be interesting to see if we even qualify as a white Christmas this year with all the rain and melting Christmas Eve night. It will probably come down to the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I didn't get a chance to upload these screenshots when they were current on Friday night into Saturday morning, but I thought this was really cool. From the moment the BL decoupled until mixing resumed, I was running exactly 10 degrees colder than the air strip 1.7 miles away and 125 feet higher in elevation. Both stations are properly sited, and this pattern repeats often on clear nights, but I've never seen such a big difference. Just a razor-thin inversion with that perfect snowcover.

McCauley has to get some crazy lake effect dumps. I’m hopefully planning a trip to Tuckerman’s Ravine this spring.

When I was in Columbia county I noticed It would fluctuate like 10 degrees within a few miles. Pretty neat. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
