Thanks for supplying the cold air for the storm guys .. balmy 6F here.

Yea, my hunch is whoever is under the spot where the western deform band stops it's N/NW progression will be the overall jack possibly. You get an extra few hours of 15 or 20:1 feathers as its pivots and then rotates back through. ALY mentioned strong lift intercepting the dendritic growth zone, so snow growth should not be an issue. Whether that band is over your head, ENY, SE NY. Albany, SVT, CON, dendrite, Central Mass--who knows. Seems like those outer deform bands always end up slightly NW of modeled. Feel like we have seen that in the past few years where the modeled QPF is in SNE/CNE and then Oneonta, NY ends up with 34" of deform delight. Hopefully have nots are not as extreme as Boxing day.

Good trends for us north of the SNE border. Hopefully we can get a nice deform band to rotate through and rot. Maybe the SE ticks will happen overnight, who knows, hopefully not.

I mean I kind of get it, it literally may not snow again for a year or two in some spots if things don't break right. It was funny seeing you guys all toss the NAM and the NE forum saying '"crushed".

Mid atl forum is always good for a laugh. I hop in there from time to time to lurk..so much anger and anxiety...lol

Soooooo, your not buying the IBM solution??

. 6" today. Whitening to landscape which is nice. But as Gene mentioned, screw zone so far this season is SVT over through central NH which looks to continue with this event.

So this guy strolls up today, squats and takes a nice piss on my daughter's hat she left in the yard. bastard! Got to figure out how to upload the video, pretty funny.

Just virga so far here

Just give me a minute to grab the Netscape 72hr...

Verbatim, it is still slightly better where you are than 00z Euro.

We IBM... Grasping at anything north of the Mass border.

6Z weenie form earlier, looks better north of pike:

Got out early this AM before the FROPA and squeezed in hopefully last mountain bike ride of the year. Maybe also a lawn trim..ha.

Right, that is exactly what the ALY Mets said at the event, basically they realize this is strictly volunteer and the once a day clear would just be easier for the majority of observers, but said to do the 6 hour clear if you had the ability to. Seems now they want to be in line with COOP's which are once a day and to streamline all data--snowfall wise that is. Like you mentioned, the liquid equivalent really is the important part of the snowfall data.

@J.Spin --They were discussing 6 hour clears in the main discussion thread which we have discussed many times over the years. I just checked Cocorahs and saw this paragraph below, seems like new verbiage. I know in past years on the cocorahs website it has said in black and white that 6 hour clears were OK. When I went to a cocorahs event at NWS ALY( 2018 maybe?) I asked the ALY Mets specifically and they said 6 hour clears were OK and actually encouraged if you had the time and capability to do them. Looks like they added new bolded language below saying do not clear the board. Just curious if you are still going to do clears? I have done them since I joined 4-5 years ago, although not sure how many I am actually doing in a full season. "Observers in networks such as CoCoRaHS and the NWS Cooperative Network are required to take snowfall measurements once per day. During long duration events, snowfall may be measured at shorter intervals for the purpose of submitting a Significant Weather Report or reporting to the NWS, but the snowboard should NOT be cleared! The snowboard should be cleared only after your regular 24-hour observation. Some observers, such as at airports, may be directed by their servicing NWS offices to take 6-hourly measurements. However, CoCoRaHS and U.S. Cooperative stations are to make measurements every 24 hours."

Tamarack--were you a lax bro at Hopkins in mid 60s? Seems like Hopkins is Doctors and lacrosse players.

Hopefully the Euro can restore its King status and score a coup for Monday. Like mentioned, nothing else shows this outcome.

That was a little nuke even out this way. Had 4" in 1 hour early that AM. Think it was quick 12" IIRC.

Not to mention the row of edges blocking your view while doing laps in the pool. At this point I think we can all agree the place just needs to be razed.

Oh for sure, Dorset feels like a preppy wealthy CT town, just picked up and dropped in SVT(with some VT charm). Nice spot that someone probably uses 3-4 weeks a year...would have had a great view of Dorset Hollow Ski area https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5251_Dorset_VT_M40801-38583

Lol, yea faces pretty much due south. Snow softens up quick once your hit FEB. But yea, retention is certainly an issue without a deep base even though they are east of the spine just because of the Sun later on in the season. It would get more snow that the proposed Dorset sight, but looking at the rendering's the Dorset sight would face southwest, so they would get less snow and most likely similar or worse retention.

Super interesting read, honestly had no idea there was ever a plan for a resort there. Funny how that area of Dorset Hollow is now an enclave of some of the priciest homes in SVT.--some absurd estates located there. Got the promotion going nicely, would have been same ad if they did Mt Equinox: Looks like some locals weren't having it in 1965. Guess it was always an exclusive enclave. " Anyway, rich old blood and even some young blood are complaining about the "rape" of Dorset mountain and its tranquil beauty destroyed by ski trails scarring the landscape and "those skiers" invading their privacy.

Interesting, even in days of yore they knew the retention wasn't quite adequate

Yea, it almost seems too steep to have any slow cruiser trails, but I don't know enough about creating a ski resort, maybe it could be figured out logistically. But yea, just geographically speaking having a resort where the base is right in Manchester seems ideal on the face of it. But yea, pre snowmaking ,snow retention would be a struggle below 1500-2000ft.
