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.

powderfreak Posted 12 hours ago Share Posted 12 hours ago 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hovering around 10 degrees with -SN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Another 2.1 overnight into this morning. I knew something good happened when I heard the plow this morning. -SN and 12.3 now. Next week might feel like summer given the pattern we've been in so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
