Still expecting 6" or so here. Nice, but I need like 10x that in the first half of March to get back on track. LOL

3" won't be enough to even cover my mud puddles. I'll need to head down to SNE to get a taste of winter I guess.

CAD works fine here unless I have stiff south winds. There are plenty of examples from the past two winters of me staying frozen when Gorham down through coastal Maine turned to rain on E/NE/SE winds. That last cutter was just the perfect setup to roast me.

Off of 50" of snow, that's impressive for sure. I have 90" on the season and like 5" OTG. LOL

Love desert drives of all types, for sure. I would definitely live in the high desert.

I could really use a multi-day upslope event of yore right about now. Hopefully Friday delivers at least 10" to cover everything again.

That's awesome. You may be the leader in snow pack right now outside some 4k peak.

37 already. What little pack I have left is screaming for daddy like Luke Skywalker being electrocuted by the Emperor.

WWA and a flood watch... Gotta love it.

LOL yeah. Pack after the 8 Feb event was about 30". Then it dropped into the mid to upper 20s after a few day torch mid month (forgot the exact dates), then the last cutter decimated it. Hours of rain at 60 will do that. Pretty much looks like early Dec out there. Based on my drives around the area and skiing no one is really doing much better than I am, in NH at least. I don't think things are too hot in VT either, though.

6” average Bare in many south facing spots that were wind blown to begin with. Pack is weak.

Hopefully this is Mother Nature getting the torches out of the way early and we can have a cold/snowy March and April. If we whiff on the "epic pattern" being talked about and then torch again later in the month, not sure how spring skiing can work aside from some ribbons of death stuff. Natural trails are already mostly shut down over here, at least.

33 at 7:30 PM. Solid torch. Gonna be a total snow pack reset here before the end of the week storm, I think. Maybe a little snow left but not much.

Just like the last one that teased SNE for days and then verified as mixed crap into parts NNE.

Wonder how many posts qg_omega will be allowed per day in 20 years?

Fingers crossed here for a March and April of yore. Things will look pretty bleak by end of day Wednesday across NNE.

I would assume it's pretty anomalous. Last winter underperformed, but this winter will put it to shame in that department with this extended torch (it's been torching since the second week of the month with a few brief interludes of cold), especially if March fizzles. It's not just a Randolph downsloping microclimate thing either (which sometimes happens here on south winds). It's warm all around here and snow cover sucks everywhere in NNE unless you are standing on top of a mountain. Oh well, nothing can be done about it. I just hope I can ski into the first week of April at least. We are not in great shape for when the inevitable 70s show up in late March and start the real final meltdown. A 50 spot in March would help.

Meanwhile here it's 40 and torch city. I will not have much snow if any left after Wednesday.

Could end up there in time. Last one came north even as the GFS was insisting it would have good snows well to the south.

36 now. Next couple days look warm and wet. We will see how much snow I have left after this. What a change from early month.

Aren’t you already ahead of average for the date or even at average for the season for NYC?

Yeah, I agree with all of this. Since we can't get our average in 2-3 storms like much of SNE, the structural setup of the winter is important. Need an active pattern. My biggest enemy here is being dry, not temps. Obviously, cutters that rain to Montreal are a different story.

Don’t waste your time. I have had this discussion with him many times. He isn’t in control of where he lives. Maybe message his mom and fiancée and talk to them.

Not even the Jay fake snow blown into a gully at 4,000' will save April unless we get some more real snow at all elevations. It's a real shame the meaty snow we waited for that finally came mid-Jan to early Feb is already being blasted away by these cutters and now we need to rebuild. 12 degree fluff that blows away into the forests isn't going to cut it.

April can be a sneaky month. I could see a big number in April and also a storm in May to pad the totals. May 2020 had a foot early in the month I think. It was right before I bought the place. Randolph does really well with marginal events that are rain all the way to Berlin but a blue bomb here. The average here is kinda unhelpful since the winters seem to alternate between relatively lean 100-150" deals and monsters at 200-250." The 180" ish average number never seems to happen. It's either the lower or upper camp. Just something structurally different about the winters in each camp. I expect this winter will be in the lower camp, obviously. One thing is for sure, based on the record here we are due for a monster winter.
