  1. The CoCoRaHS guy fairly frequently reports power losses, or at least that's the excuse he uses for late reports sometimes. LOL Sometimes "computer issues" too. haha I think he is running on solar up there kinda "off the grid" just based on what I have seen of his place, so his power outages may have no bearing on what's going on elsewhere. It's funny because there was an Eversource truck here just yesterday. They told me I need to replace one of the poles on my property to make it taller to accommodate a coax line for Internet. Seems pretty crazy to me since it only has a power line on it now. Plenty of room. I think they jinxed it.
  2. Yes, with a 500 gallon propane tank. I was able to start it manually. Apparently when it last tried to exercise a couple weeks ago it faulted and entered an error state instead of staying on auto.
  3. Just lost power for the first time ever here. Generator failed to kick on of course. Typical BS. Had to manually start it.
  4. First moose sighting on my driveway just now.
  5. LOL epic troll or oblivious weenie?
  6. It hasn’t rained here in months and I have huge ponds and strong water flow everywhere. I walk outside and it sounds like a waterfall in the woods. No drought here.
  7. GYX leaving the door cracked for mountain snows Sunday.
  8. Crushed Subaru... yep definitely Vermont.
  9. 55/52 Showers came through, up to .34" of rain now. Zero thunder, lightning, or wind here.
  10. Sky is darkening now to the west a little.
  11. Damn. Sun is out here and kids are outside playing. LOL
  12. Sun’s out, turned into a nice day here. Positive bust on cutter #1 here so far. Very little rain.
  13. Yeah, wondering if it may just clip me given the radar depiction. I'm fine with it missing me.
  14. More of a blue flash than white is also a sign it's very close, in my experience.
  15. Dodging the big rain and thunderstorms with this one, it seems. Just .10" so far from a mod shower.
  16. Nothing much here yet. Just .10" in the bucket. Had a brief shower and that was basically it. I think I am being dryslotted and that is fine by me.
  17. Definitely the sort of kick in the nuts I would expect as the grand finale of the winter. A shitty low way OTS, baby!
  18. Some of these runs are not all that far off from a thump to dry slot near here, verbatim. But the overall setup doesn't look too good. Maybe the ski peaks can get a refresher to extend the season a little longer.
  19. Yeah doesn’t look good. I’m just wishcasting. It’s all I have left.
  20. 12z NAM has about .60" of ZR here and a bunch of sleet too. Hope that verifies as snow.
  21. One more snow storm would be nice. This winter is really going out with a whimper.
  22. I was more talking about seasonal snowfall and depth rather than experience on the slopes. What would a D or F season look like in your experience? My very newbie take is that this season is probably closer to the bottom of the pile than the middle for the peaks at least in terms of snowfall, open terrain, and depth, but perhaps I am off base there. The next couple weeks are not looking good either to make up any of the delta. I think a lot of this depends on what you are looking for in a season. I skied 4-5 days a week all season, so I was out there a lot. I had very, very few bad days and the conditions at BW are still good by spring standards for what I like (firm and fast). I would rate this season a B, probably. It would have been nice if it got rolling earlier, but otherwise it gave me many great days. On the flip side, there were very few powder days here in NNH. The vast majority of the events came at night and/or were in the 1-2 inch range. IMO, the conditions in the glades around here never got above "adequate" level except for a brief period in early Feb after the last big synoptic event. I can tell from the posts on the forum that there were many more powder days in the Northern Greens. That may be causing some of the disconnect in perceptions.
  23. I feel like J. Spin could find some way to tell me that data point is still a sign of a good normal year like any other, though.
