    Down to 31.5f with mod snow and 1/2” on colder surfaces. May be first time this season we overperform the rest of the area. Sunday night we didn’t see a trace.

    Nice big parachute flakes with the ground now coated, temp down to 33f. Wading River.

    Rain snow mix in wading river, 37f

    Agreed. The last 10 Januarys at Upton averaged 16.15" which is well above the long term average and beats the same 10 Februarys average by 2". Even bigger January advantage if you take the last five years instead of 10. So we haven't done as poorly in January as it may seem.

    Think we have to lose Dec AND Jan before its fair to question the season. For me even if we have a great few weeks post Feb 1 the season would be tainted beyond repair when you lose those two months. In '12/'13 we had about 6" total by 2/1 .. then about 40" the rest of the way. Can never rule a turnaround like that out - but doesn't necessarily save winter by all standards.

    We’re actually driving to Stowe tomorrow in search of better conditions - that certainly gives me second thoughts!

    Despite the great start to the season it already feels like March at Gore today. Bare patches and fog over the melting snow throughout. The Monday storm may deliver a refresher up here but it looks more like a mixed bag right now. Anyone skiing good conditions this week in the northeast?

    Good strategy is to get financing from someplace other than the car dealer - like a credit union. The car dealers always try to make money on the financing.

    Yes struck the fear of God into most of my office..well played NWS

    We’re up at our place near Gore about 20 times throughout the year. My wife has come around to the fact that it’s not a cold and snowy place. Spring and summer get just as warm as down here and there’s plenty to do. Fall is spectacular. Winter usually means three months of white ground, as it should. It’s an adjustment but you’re not giving up a four season climate. Economic opportunity, especially within the park itself, is a different story though.

    I don’t know much about them but believe some of the western mountain states have lower costs of living than the Carolinas.

    No, wound up turning down that job as my wife couldn’t pull the trigger on moving to Maine. I’m in financial services and have been fortunate but still envious of the climate and lifestyle up there. You in law enforcement?

    It’s too bad you’d have to compromise on one of those points. I think out west living near elevation can be the best of all worlds but it’s certainly a big move, especially in retirement.
  15. Snowshack
    Agree on those numbers. Extended snowcover can help compensate for lower totals too. but under 40" is never a satisfying season. Our place in the Adirondacks averages about 75" and even there I'm always looking for more..

    Depends what you consider harsh. 75-100" snowfall climo would probably be right up his alley...

    No need to go to Caribou - southeast Maine is a great spot. Almost took a job with Portland PD many years ago but couldn’t get my wife to make the move. You can almost triple our NYC annual snowfall just NW of Portland and still have true four seasons with both wilderness and real urban arenas close by.

    32.5 in wading river with plain rain now
  19. Snowshack
    Sleet with some flakes mixed in, 34f in Wading River

    Usually see Upton go with a blend of solutions but they seem to be going against the Euro and the Gfs. There is some uncertainty as to how quickly the cold air will be replaced as high pressure tracks off shore Monday. With the progressive low have leaned toward a slightly warmer solutions, unlike the GFS and ECMWF. This low is forecast to track along the frontal boundary, moving in the vicinity of the forecast area Tuesday.

    Yeah even a couple nickel and dime events with below normal temps would be a great break from the Easter-in December weather we've had so many times this decade..
  22. Snowshack
    Upton was rock steady out here with 1-3” in the forecast for the last 2+ days, and nailed the timing well in advance as well. Good job by them ..
  23. Snowshack
    2.25” on the deck, less on warmer surfaces, 31f with light snow
  24. Snowshack
    31f moderate snow now. Same here with my wife of 20+ yrs now. We eventually bought a cabin in the adirondacks so we always have a wintry retreat. That’s a good compromise for guy tied to the city..
  25. Snowshack
    Wading river - 1” down, all surfaces covered- heavy snow at the moment.
