And you have like one, mayybe two, great winters left in your lifetime.

I hope to experience a 96, 05, or 15 again. Though 05 is probably a 1 in a 100 year type season

My first storm lurking this site was Feb 2013 blizzard. Joined later that year. 19 when I joined and I’ll be 32 in a little over a month. Times flies.

Lots of highs below zero . Chainsaws put away for quite some time . 

That’s insane…no way that happens. That would shatter/obliterate all records.  99.9% chance that won’t verify.  But fun to look at.

Thats pretty sick.  I would need to do some things to keep pipes warm.

That’s crushing cold…absolutely historic. Extremely low chance of that even coming close to that.  So don’t sweat it.

28” snowpack at 1500ft this evening.

This is a QPF heavy, frozen snowpack too.

I scraped an additional inch off the Barnes Camp board.  The snowpack is respectable in both depth and frozen water at the Stowe base area.

Is that roughly on point with climo  average depth?

It’s above average over the last 20 years for mid-January. Plenty of QPF too.

We have had some tough seasons over that time.  Just like SNE.  But this year has produced somehow.
