Really nasty day.

Looks like just upslope for NNE through the middle of the month on the models.

Doesn’t look very promising on the models for more snow in his area. 34 degree light rain here now.

34 degrees, basically zero precip so far. I don’t mind.

After the early Feb storm I was close to being overwhelmed by the snow, another big synoptic event would have had me calling for momma. But it really quieted down in Feb.

I think things will settle in over the next few winters. I gave up complaining about MD winters long ago, for example.

I probably spent too much time studying the historical records so I became keenly aware of what could happen. Kinda like spoiling a movie by reading the Wikipedia synopsis ahead of time. I’m also kind of just a high strung person. I am always seeking the best outcome, just how I am. I find it kinda hard to enjoy a warm cutter knowing my inch of upslope is coming afterwards. I admire those of you who can be so zen about it. I think it is best I am over here in NH based on my personality. I am not a good fit for VT. This winter was awesome though. I rated it an A+ in the other thread. Always room for improvement though!

It would have been terrible reading the obs from the rest of you.

Getting gusts to 35 here with a few stray flakes.

3 of them, but I think to get to average I would definitely need a couple more. 1 inch every couple days isn’t going to cut it in terms of getting to average. It seems to me there has been a near total lack of straightforward 4-6 storms this winter. Maybe the SWFE around New Years was one. Even the three big synoptic events were all kinda marginal and goofy setups. I lucked out on them but other areas nearby were hosed big time.

Yep. Same feel here.

There are multiple 200+ winters in the 10 year record so it can definitely get a lot better.

Well said!

Pack down to 27” here.

Hanging tough. Need snow.

An inch of fluff is all I need to restore that pristine early feb look.

Pack still hanging tough. Minimal loss. hope it snows soon.

40” in one storm says hi. LOL

J. Spin has me beat. He is closing in on average I think. I am probably on top of the leaderboard in NH. About 120 inches so far for my neighbor I think. Edit: realized you may mean depth. In that case I was basically near average, or slightly below now with the garbage of the last few days. So I may be closest to average in that metric. Not sure what J. Spin usually has OTG at this time.

We are skiing now but headed to FL before the month ends. I can extend my stay if the mythical Randolph March magic ever materializes late month.

This winter gets an A+ from me just because it blew away any other winter in my life. Grinch was horrifying and nearly broke my brain. I was saved by the Jan 17 and Feb 1/2 storms. One of the worst weather events in my life, maybe tops. I never want to see “atmospheric river” and “warm sector” together in a GYX distro ever again. The long boring periods where every storm went south of me (which is ongoing) has been rather annoying. @dendrite tried to warn me Retention after Grinch has been fabulous. I am in a great spot for that. The pack here has been like you’d see at a ski place. Uplsope was also fun. No idea if I received more or less of that than usual. It seems pretty decoupled from the broader pattern so probably average there. It was the synoptic piece that was lacking, based on the historical record. And before the usual suspects rage out at me that it can still snow 2 feet in mid April here... yeah I get that. LOL wake me up when the models show a real, strong low SE of my house with my temp at 28. So far all I still see is weak crap. Thank god for uplsope.

NNE shredder still running full blast for the foreseeable future?

Another torch day. 38. Rain on the way.

The housing market definitely favors aggressive moves right now. Two houses in our neighborhood in MD went on the market this year and both sold before even getting formally listed. One sold within hours of going up for sale. A buddy of mine who wants to move into that neighborhood keeps complaining about how fast it moves, and I am telling him he needs to stop worrying about every little detail and taking weeks to decide if he even wants to schedule a walkthrough. He's one of those guys who analyzes decisions to death. It's a tough market unless you are a gambler type or have a ton of cash. That's why we bought this house sight-unseen 600 miles away and still almost lost it.

Yes, been a trying month searching for a bigger storm. Nothing on the horizon either and the upslope machine isn't even running at the moment. But my pack is still near 30" and skiing has been good so that helps.
