STILL N OF PIKE

I think maybe you are realizing your climo is more likely to disappoint you based on how much snow you want to see or how many pack days you want maybe that you got used to over a several year period that was not a good representation of average . I could be wrong . I agree with the sentiment that “snowy “ December’s set the tone , doesn’t even have to snow much , some days of 2” of pack can do wonders . A shutout of pack and an inch or two in the month is a good kick to the balls if you live outside coastal areas and cape . I would be curious if Will had any info regarding snow pack days for ORH in December and how often say no advisory events occurred ( not that they won’t in last few days of month )

As far as I’m concerned today is a beautiful day . 50 and sunny by afternoon Means doing outside activities is somewhat comfortable. Much preferred over 20 and windy . The only thing I’m mildly interested in with the upcoming system is severe weather threat for Florida where some family is , and comparing number of ski trails open today compared to Tuesday / Wednesday and comparing that across VT/NH. I don’t get wind in Bedford or Nashua and I’m hoping there are some dry Mild hours on Monday

I often wonder why people spend time daily in here during times of a horrible pattern when they can’t handle the reality of posting without whining . I’m posting what is most likely to occur . The whining goes both ways . Maybe we need to create a positive thoughts only thread for the 5-10 day period when it’s ugly . You won’t find me punting ridiculous amounts of weeks but the period into the 27’th looks like trash and the period past that is fantasy still , looks better but it’s far out

That one would give some snow to start, the high is in a decent position but is weak . Looks like a snow to Rainer , but I mean I didn’t comment on it bc it’s like 384 hours out , it will change and I’ll be in NW VT to cope if it doesn’t

0z gfs has a nice retreating high as SLP approaches (have I watched this movie) and slides across roughly SNE S coast . for Dec 27’th Happy Holidays perhaps (for the St. Lawrence Valley)

If anything 18z looks a tick west

That is impressive to have zero cold air around Xmas . That’s one heck of a torch

This is certainly a grincher for the slopes

Ya def . I mean ..nh two weekends in a row ..but yes N greens just an epic kick in nads after the start elevations have had . Gonna need to resurface the heck out of everything to keep folks from skiing on dangerous ice . Resort ops must be puking looking at this system

Diastah cutter for whites not thrilled as I have a rental after Xmas , gonna need plenty of fresh snow post 12/19

Whites snow pack should be wiped , back to back disaster systems prior to Xmas break for NH mtns

The Buffalo generational cutter storm

December of yore

I’d take a 55 degree torch over that crap

Pretty much a disaster storm for VT on euro , cutter then follow up is so negatively tilted Stowe rains while Catskills snow verbatim.

I mean obviously the pattern and poor air mass supports a high probability of horse crap from this coastal system no matter when it runs or almost where ever it tracks I did just check the ensembles and it seems most OP runs still seem to be on NW edge of ensembles …I thought the ensembles might be clustered much more inland edit there is a poster lurking named “pickles” fascinating 0z gfs goes into NW NY and torches Quebec then follow up kicks e mass in nads for good measure

More snow showers in ASH

Snow showers moving into Manchester - Nashua corridor

Enjoy before Monday - hope for a storm to slide SE

Nobody seriously punted January lol

I’d love for this dumpster fire of a system to be somehow shunted eastward for next Monday . Cutting from Gulf to Raleigh is such a puke track

Just replace cutter with reaper Seasons don’t fear the cutter Nor does the wind or the sun or the rain We can be like they are Come on baby ..don’t fear the cutter

Up and in is presumed and at least over 500’

Based on that High Pressure timing ..Big high oozes in and down from NW in time to keep NNE drier and the storm blows it’s load in deep SE anyway

You can always buy my book, “how to be a gypsy ..chase snowstorms and not sleep on the sofa when you get home “
