Op GFS is garbage here. Just bring spring instead of this shit.

I am new to this forum. At what point in the season do you usually give up and stop posting about phantom threats that aren't even in your region? Love you otherwise.

I am glad you were able to get the shot when you wanted to get it. It needs to be widely available and free, and I am willing to pay my due share in taxes to make that happen.

People will need to learn to live with this virus or they will never be able to leave their houses. The metrics being tossed around for extremely low case counts and very high vaccination rates are impossible to achieve. I suggest anyone who is still worried about the virus check out the Orlando airport. Many, many Americans are basically back to normal life and they are fine. Time to emerge from your panic rooms, folks.

Many people have zero clue what this vaccine even does. They think the 95% number refers to immunity from catching the virus. The media is outright lying to people. After the vaccine, you can still get COVID, you can still spread COVID. and you can still get noticeably sick. It isn't like the polio vaccine, Boomers.

Duh. It's going to be like the various viruses that cause the "common cold." That's why people who think this is the polio vaccine and we can eradicate this virus by just vaccinating 80% of the world are very ignorant. A lot of those folks around right now.

Heavy here now. Randolph magic.

Just back from the bar in Gorham. Refresh in Randolph. All surfaces covered again. 31 degrees. A few rain drops in gorham.

Nothing here in gorham at the bar. LOL

I am in gorham but it is apparently snowing in Randolph per wife.

Down to 38, DP of 21.

That’s a good look for here. That blob west of the Whites tends to verify overhead here from what I have seen this winter. Usually when it is fairly wet like that it’s a great sign a good bit of moisture will come down Rt 2 and get squeezed out.

18z mesos look really healthy for the upslope spots. This could be more than the usual dusting routine. Best upslope look in a while over in the Whites.

One of Epstein’s botanical gardens go up in flames?

Yeah, better conditions today than yesterday. Faster and a little firmer. Icy in the shady spots and tree tunnels.

BW had the groomers out again this morning and kept trails closed until they were ready. That is why we like BW. They put in max effort. Cannon wouldn’t have even bothered. I haven’t been over to Wildcat but I’m guessing they aren’t grooming much either.

Break out the really short shorts for the 0415 jog?

Nice uplsope signal here through Monday. Best I have seen in a while. A couple inches would be nice. My usual 1.5” each day sounds about right.

It’s been awesome, A+ grade from me. This stretch of soon to be two months without a snowfall over 2” has been kinda annoying considering how epic Feb was elsewhere.

That's a personal decision everyone has to make. I would rather wait until it is not being administered under an Emergency Use Authorization and complete liability waivers for the manufacturers before I consider it because I am very low risk from the virus and other people need the doses more than me. The calculus is different for other people. I also want to know more about how this will work going forward with new variants and the many rumored "required boosters." It seems like people will end up on a treadmill of endless vaccinations for this virus that I am not too interested in. I know some very obese/sick people who have said no to the vaccine and some young, trim, healthy people (some of whom already had COVID) who have been very aggressive about getting the vaccine ASAP. Everyone is different. It should be available to anyone who wants it for free, but no one should be shamed for saying no either.

I'm sure Conway was been almost totally melted out now. They never had any sort of substantial pack develop there all winter.

I have given up on getting another big synoptic snow event here in March. Punting to April and hoping for a miracle.

Like I said, others have very different experiences with COVID than we did. We only know one person who became really ill and died with the virus, but he was literally already on his death bed with multiple other ailments when he caught it. Everyone else had very mild symptoms. A cold at best.

57 here right now. LOL

Yeah, the snowpack before Grinch was a joke compared to this dense mass. With all due respect to SNE, I can say from MD experience that a NNE elevation snowpack is a totally different beast. I have over 8 inches of water in this pack. That just acts totally different than a “pack” that consists of a single foot storm that fell two days ago.
