  1. Sneaky event. Classic on-shore QPF look for the low level flow.
  2. Yeah about 1.5" of sparkling fluff here east of the Spine. Still light snow but likely in the flurry visibility range. Did have a couple good bursts of moderate snow but they were short-lived.
  3. Some interior lift up here and excellent snow growth temps, a random decent fluffy accumulation (in short order) is always possible with light QPF at -9C to -18C at 850mb on the progs.
  4. Over this way the hill picked up 5-6” dense snow last night... Skiing was quite good. A paster above 1,200ft. Had to be a good half inch of frozen QPF overnight… surfy snow. Only a few tenths crusty coating down in town. But the ski areas along the Spine got a decent event.
  5. Had a good day today with 5-6” of dense snow at the snow plots. With the Gondola open, the long term High Road plot is back and it was about spot on with the Snow Cam… High Rd came in with an even 6”. The dense snow skied phenomenally. It covered the slick variable rain crust and was very surfy. Skied like a healthy half inch of SWE.
  6. I was thigh deep in glory with like 20” falling in 12 hours on Xmas afternoon and evening near ALB. Will never top that. Last winter living in ALB and it produced 50” in 10 days between 12/25 and 1/4. If you can cue up a period to get 4 feet of snow, the holiday week takes the cake.
  7. Ha, no, too busy shoveling melted out dog shit. Anyone with a dog who can roam the backyard knows what happens when it thaws. Snowing nicely up on the hill though.
  8. Been a surprisingly mild stretch. More snow melted in this period than from the 2” rainstorm. In the valley we’ve wet-bulbed down to a 33-34F wet snow (white rain, just a very minor slushy coating) at 1.5-2.0 sm visibility. The ASOS gets the vibe right. We all know that snow… not accumulating well, if at all. Up the road at 1500ft is getting caked white.
  9. Yeah the slushy windshield accumulation… it’s a funny dichotomy to just up hill from us. I saw a truck go by that was plastered with 1-2” of snow on all four sides on Mtn Road coming down from the resort. It’s snowy up high.
  10. 1.5” at 1500ft and white rain at 750ft. 1000-1300ft seems to be the magic line right now here like @klw said.
  11. Yes that was the depths of my despair. I think Philly was rattling off weekly warning level storms between the warm ups while we just froze cold and dry. My yard was a pond of frozen stagnant water.
  12. Break away…. in OT… and just fooled the goalie before burying it in the net.
