Biggest issue in coastal plain may be surface temps.  It may be snowing but might be tough to accumulate, especially during the daytime hours.  NAM 3K soundings show 33/35 right at the surface though its colder throughout the rest of the column.  If we can get it a pinch colder then maybe we can sneak in an extra inch or so.

We begin battling the increasing sun angle tomorrow.

925 looks cold enough for a lot of the region, so if there's decent growth and some consistency with halfway decent rates, it should be okay.

Wxwatcher picked a great season to move to SLK.  Cold and snow combo for the NW shelf of New England.

I don't need to jack, just cover the ground back up and get ponds and lakes re-solidified.  Drilling through 5" of ice to fish last weekend, at least down this way, and wouldn't dare set foot on it today.

We are just a few miles from big increases in snow totals. However, the lack of housing inventory and liking where we currently live, make it hard to think about moving just for snow.  Sometimes, it is a little maddening to know, that it is probably a 60 minute hike, to better snow totals in winter and cooler temps in summer.
