    Second time this week with blizzard conditions. I'm sick of it. Can we just have regular snow?
  2. alex
    Our temperature spiked from 15 to 29 in a matter of minutes
  3. alex
    Makes complete sense

    I’m not sure. Franconia also got mostly rain, and they’re not too far. Must be something with the nuance of the wind direction vs mountain ranges to our south
  5. alex
    I think it’s even more impressive that an area so prone to downsloping as mine got 12”. That front end meant business, and the cold air hung on remarkably well

    Amazing gradient here. Goes from a foot in Bretton Woods to a sloppy inch in Carroll less than 5 miles away

    LOL! Hey, we should get some credit for it being already all shoveled. This stuff is heart attack material - but if you don't do it now, it's not gonna be fun later

    Warmup was short lived, changing back to snow here. All in all, a great storm and a nice net gainer of heavy base snow
  9. alex
    About a foot here, but getting compacted down with the rain and warm temps. Wild evening last night though

    I agree. Even if we wake up to grass, this storm is a winner in my book. Just awesome to watch. Not to drive in though @#NoPoles

    I’ll need an explanation of that It is bizarre, temperature steady and heavy snow but there’s a bunch of 4-5000 footers in the direction the wind is coming from
  12. alex
    Definitely no sign of downsloping yet in spite of the wind. I don’t understand why sometimes we do sometimes we don’t with the same wind direction

    It’s like full on blizzard out there. Wasn’t expecting that
  14. alex
    lol. And some of us DO live there
  15. alex
    Pounding like I haven’t seen in a while here too
  16. alex
    Only 5” or so on the ground, and who knows if that will be there by morning… hopefully that will change soon though!

    Only light snow here but it’s absolutely miserable with 24F, gusty wind, and snow blowing everywhere
  18. alex
    Cutters are hard for us, other than the fact that we still usually end up with decent cover from the follow up upslope. We’ve had some really “good” cutter for pack building but they seem to be a thing of the past. That said, GYX sounds optimistic.

    True - and admittedly I think of Bartlett, where I used to be, as North Conway. North Conway proper suffers from low elevation
  20. alex
    I'd say if there's one place that does well in cutter it's Conway. They CAD like nobody's business. I don't know much about Jay other than the few times I've been there and witnessed what they called 8" of snow that were really a dusting that my wipers could remove in about 2 strokes

    Awesome day today. I have low expectations for Wednesday at my location with SE wind, but we’ll see. We’ve had “good cutters” before that helped build a strong base, just not recently
  22. alex
    Mmm Littleton did NOT get 10”
  23. alex
    About 3” of upslope overnight, moderate fluff still falling
  24. alex
    Snowing and quite windy. 18F
  25. alex
    It could go either way. Some cutters have been great to get glades and steep terrain open - the heavy wet snow makes for a great base, and up here it’s usually followed by upslope to create a nice layered “heavy bottom fluffy top”. Of course if the rain is heavy or very warm and all the snow gets washed off, it’s no bueno
