I'd like to think that, but the AFD was pretty gruesome. My biggest concern of course is flooding... but would also like to salvage some snowpack if we can. I don't even particularly care much for me - we see plenty of snow (it's STILL snowing today, after all) and even my kids don't care that much since they're so used to it, but it's so sad for people who come up for Xmas break and it's their one ski trip a year. Also, I'm in a really bad spot for retention in cutters. I think the only way we don't downslope is on West or North winds; we are otherwise surrounded by 5000 ft+ peaks. The mountains giveth, the mountains taketh

Pretty nasty snow squall coming through

Sounds like every holiday week in the past 3 years

That's sweet. Hopefully they can hold on to it in this upcoming weather cycle. Bretton Woods is going to get nuked, unfortunately, and there doesn't seem to be much upslope if any to follow. At least there's good grooming lol. Feel bad for the masses coming up for the holidays...

Bretton Woods was just amazing this weekend. Tons of new terrain, much of which all natural. One of my favorite glades was open as well (Glade West)

My snow covered trees fetish has been well served by this last storm

While we contemplate the imminent doom, it’s really beautiful out

This storm was bizarre. I thought we got downsloped but North Conway has quite a bit less than we do. They usually do very well in this type of setup. The notch is stunning though

Snow rates have picked up significantly- upslope? Perfectly timed with my drive down the notch to North Conway lol. Grrrr

8” here but I think accumulation was held down as we rotted at 33 degrees for a while. The upper elevations seemed to have quite a bit more. Either way, beautiful scenery and amazing skiing so nothing to complain about! At least till the cutter next week

Random question - I have a subscription to weathermodels.com but where do you find this map??? Can’t find it anywhere

It’s gotten quite warm here - 33. Snowing nicely but very wet

Picked up quite a bit in intensity. Unfortunately we have guests with 2nd that can’t make it up the road to the condo

Well the forecast says the best should be coming overnight... but the radar seems to be drying up so not sure what to make of it. I'm ready for upslope, but this sounds promising: Finally, in the mountains... totals have come up by a couple inches across the board in the higher terrain, particularly through the higher terrain of New Hampshire where confidence continues to increase in 1.5-2" QPF amounts as forcing and adequate moisture slowly pivots over those areas and squeezes out snow for the next 12+ hours... while areas further east dry slot and rates diminish.

Yeah it’s definitely a local snow hole. It seems that they often get less snow than even Littleton. Pretty much get screwed in every direction - they do get upslope but it’s much much lighter than what we get here less than 15 miles away. Given that we are just on day 1 of 4, I’d expect they will end up with at least some decent snow but who knows

Omg just got back from Whitefield - no snow at all there, just a dusting! Bizarre.

Never!!! And if you have no snow to steal, I’ll make my own!!!

I’d be happy with 6” lol BUT keep in mind that GYX AFD mentions that they expect light stuff today and showery in nature and better forcing to arrive this evening into the overnight. And we are about 6 hours in when the storm is going to last through Monday. Not sweating it at this point.

Mmmm are you getting downslope from my roof lol???

Is it though? It doesn’t look that way to me. The storm is just starting up here. Point forecast calls for 16”, and accumulation of 1.6” by 1 pm. Given that it’s 10:20 and we already have 1”, seems like it’s pretty much on track. Hasn’t even made it to Maine yet

School cancelled tomorrow here

I’d take that 15.5 right next to me

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a snowstorm where models didn’t have that sharp cutoff, whether it happened or not. But I definitely like the look - storm itself and then days of upslope. Bring it!

I reviewed and approved the 12Z GFS

Y'all need to chill and rent a home in the White Mountains. We have some good deals right now
