Posting here instead of the main thread lol. 

It's frigid. This is man cold right here. It's 12 degrees and with the wind it's pretty rough out there. Of course, sunny with snow showers.

12.2/6 

The temp has been dropped all day.  We are at 15°/10.1° and its windy.

December 11th and we have already measured roughly 33% of the seasonal snowfall at the Mt Mansfield plots.

I know I harp on this, but I think the measured part is important when comparing years.  If it’s not measured, but eyeballed, guessed, estimated… it’s hard to compare year to year.  It becomes more vibe based, than data based.

Both methods can tell a story, but this season being at 30+% of annual measured snow (in a controlled manner) is incredible to me… as someone who’s personally been involved in the process for almost 20 years now.

This isn’t a marketing ploy.  The various data points support it.

Last year at this time the FourRunner Quad had been running for exactly one week.  This year it’s been 3+ weeks of deep, skier supporting natural snowpack.

All the local folks I talk to say this start to winter has been wild. 

We're over 40" on the season now.

Hovering around 10 degrees with -SN.
