  1. 4.5” here and not really doing anything. The skiing on the other hand is amazing!
  2. Haha not in Jamaica yet. Leaving Saturday so you’re definitely getting that second storm. Just started snowing. Good because skiing today SUCKED - but mostly because of the crowd. School vacation week FTL
  3. 7” at the stake, and snowing cat paws but wet
  4. 8” at the stake. 24 more hours of melt?
  5. Pack survived the first assault pretty well, 9” at the stake. Today may be a different story though! My driveway is unusable, I’m hoping it’s going to melt that down to pavement. Silver lining!
  6. 1.7” overnight, 10” at the stake. Going to Jamaica week after next, y’all are guaranteed the best storm of the year
  7. It’s snowing so nicely here. Too bad it has to turn to rain
  8. Snowing fluffy golfball size pillows lol after what looked like sand. Temp down to 23
  9. Snowing here too at -21. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that
  10. There is definitely something surreal about this cold. It’s nowhere near my record low of -34, but that was with radiation cooling and dead calm wind. This wind makes it feel very different, it feels like a station at the South Pole lol
  11. Never been dead before but I imagine that’s what death feels like lol JK. Only been out briefly, it just hurts, especially in the lungs. And the wood deck sounds like it’s about to shatter into crystals when you walk on it
  12. Amazing conditions the past few days. Skiing Wildcat today, it’s sooo nice
  13. Snowing pretty well, approaching 1”
  14. My lowest was -35 if I remember correctly. Lots of guests with dead batteries. I don’t need that again, ever.
  15. 13” of pure cement here. I freaked out earlier when I saw my dog walk by in the window lol… she’s not that tall that you can usually see her but she can walk on the snow without sinking at all. It took me a minute
  16. Forecast has -24F for a low on Friday. F@@k
  17. Haha yes i suppose. Not unusual to see big differences in upslope or downsloping situations, but the change in temperature profiles was a bit unexpected for this. But could just be that I haven’t really been following this system, I thought it was more of a basic clipper
  18. Just took my kid to a party. The weather around here is crazy. 30 and moderate to sometime heavy snow here. 36 and mixed precip/rain in Twin Mountain, 5 miles away. 28 and zero precipitation in Whitefield!
  19. Not the same here! Today I skied both Bretton Woods and Attitash. The difference was stark. Bretton Woods skied pretty well. Packed but grippy. Glades were firm but doable with a fluffy layer on top. Attitash was an ice rink. All you could hear was the hideous scraping sound; I can’t understand why they couldn’t groom it a bit better. Also surprised by how much of the terrain was still closed in spite of a decent base, and the stupidest thing in my opinion… they’ve been bragging about replacing the a/b chair… but the replacement is a non-detachable, crawl up the mountain at make you wanna jump off the chair speed lift. Why oh why not spend the extra money on a detachable if you’re replacing a lift in 2023??? Don’t get it. But what do I know, I don’t manage ski resorts (granted, neither does the person who managed that ski resort till last year lol). I was just disappointed- and reminded of how amazingly consistently good the conditions are at Bretton Woods vs other area resorts
  20. Yeah that was one of the reasons I chose Bretton Woods over Bartlett/Jackson. I used to stare at the wall of clouds/snow across the valley while we were sunny or get a few stray flurries. I lost on snow retention but I like the persistent, frequent snow.
  21. Took a while to get going after the lull following the squalls but snowing very nicely tonight
  22. Heavy heavy squalls moving through. Can’t see in front of my window
