I’m not worried about NH’s drought. I’m talking about good snow, and snow cover.  Vermont is buried and so are those other locations that I said. I’m sure there are micro locations that may not be, but for the most part NNE is in great shape as far as winter/and snow goes.  And they look to be adding to their snow over the next week as well. 

C'mon your use of crushing it was in reference to snowfall not snow cover

My point is, they’ve been doing fine. My cabin in northern Maine picked up 8-10 yesterday.  Western Maine is in very good shape. So is Vermont.  As I said, I’m sure there are areas that may not be…but the places I’m paying attention to, are quite good. Ask Alex in N NH how it’s been? Or Powderfriek.

Winter and summer.  Spring sucks till mid may and fall sucks from loss of light.  Once I’m in winter or summer I’m happy.  I have enjoyed the marches in Florida the past 3 years and this year longer due to the need to help with care of my 90 yo MIL who had a fall and broke her hip yesterday.  Surgery today and hopefully recovery but it’s fraught.  My winter ends 1/29.

Much different than stating "NNE is crushing it"...

Most of the areas in NNE have unimpressive or low depths. Mostly single digit depths outside of elevation.

Powderfreak lives on a literal mountain, and works at a ski resort. A mountain in far northern VT buried at 2500 ft isn’t representative of most of NNE

Yeah there’s about 8-10” in my yard.

Goes to 30” at 1500ft a few miles up the road at the office, then doubles again to 60” at 3,000ft.

Its a very sharp, microscale gradient of orographic precipitation.

Right, it hasn’t been a wholesale synoptic burial of NNE by any stretch

Yeah it’s all been made through orographic means with general prevailing southwest/west/northwest flow.  Great Lakes and mesoscale mountain areas.

But nobody is going outside when its 15F out and going, "ahhh this is such a great day".

For those of us who love winter, you'd be surprised how deep the pathology goes.

Not bad after a week of thaw. Those totals will skyrocket further the next 2 weeks

Post week of thaw with rain. Congrats by the way on a 2 week snow blitz to end Jan

Between 10" and 11" at the stake.  28-year average is 10.30".  Not crushing it but thoroughly average despite BN precip Dec and so far Jan.  Average total snowfall thru Jan 12 is 31.9"; hard to be much more average than that.

Probably should change this thread's title to something like 'interest has shifted to the 18th'

yup.. GFS trending closer at 18z and rapidly deepens to 944mb once it passes north of here into Canada. That's going to be big in my opinion

[RyRyB]

Probably should change this thread's title to something like 'interest has shifted to the 18th'

Or "Possible flurries" 🫤

"Wisdom comes with winters"

I’ll fire up the futility watch thread if it is still in sight by 2/7 or so. That’s something to look forward to.

Well, as hard as it is to imagine, 2/7 is only two days shy of 4 weeks away. So ya, if everything is the same as it is now in 4 weeks, then it might be a good idea.  Although, that’s when you’re into the snowiest month of the season..but whatever.

we should just make this futility thread considering who made it and the stupid title it has, just post all the garbage, meltdowns and whining and complaining in here, why not.

Agreed, but there already is a whiner thread.

Let me know how the shoveling goes on the CMC.

But i guess you didn't, See above too.

Trying to fit in with the dew crowd eh? We need to slip the ULL a bit more east for here, But i'll be in Western Maine so it looks good there.

Probably as good as the GFS Shoveling Friday.

All we gotta do is change the name.
