    959mb on the GFS. What a bomb, too bad it's not a hit for most of us.

    Interesting high temps today Lowell: 44.8F Thornton: 20.2F

    Conditions were the best I've skied all winter. Hit some non-snowmaking natural trails. A bit windblown, but stashes were found despite limited terrain as most of the lifts being on wind hold. Still not enough snow for woods at WV, but we're getting there.

    Ended up with about 6". I think it might have been a little more, but really no way to get a good measurement. It never flipped to rain here, but when I was down in the valley it was more of a white rain for a bit. Temp hit 36 around 3, slowly creeping back down. Some density to this snow, so good for the pack which is probably around 10" or so, and must have about 2.5" of liquid. I'll do a core later.

    I'm not sure if it's because I'm on the side of a hill, but it's been ripping all morning with windblown drifts. My anno is only reporting a max gust of 28MPH, but it's protected from the winds with a lot of mature trees. I was also without power for a couple hours, and also dealing with transmitter battery issues. The wind has been more exciting than the snow. I think I got only around 6", but it's all drifts out there, so I'm going to have to report a guess on the New England snow website.

    Cannon and Bretton Woods are closed. Limited terrain at Waterville and Loon. Not sure the winds will die down soon enough. Temp holding steady at 31.1F.

    Power restored about 20 minutes ago. Temp up to 31.0. I have no idea how much we've gotten. Eyeballing about 4-5". The webcam at WV is LOL. I can't even see any of the lifts. https://www.waterville.com/cams?fbclid=IwAR0cxDdK47zLCcWkOPFFVcvCCJPy5KaTQLs3DP_4gZhXNkrltZ-gEt0nlqg

    Still without power, but got the wood stove ripping. Blizzard conditions. One of the best winter storms I've experienced up here. Waterville also without power. Not sure they'll even be able to open the lifts if they get power back. It is that windy.
  9. MarkO
    Wind is definitely ripping. It's like blizzard conditions. Power still out. I hope lifts are not on wind hold.

    Just lost power in Thornton.

    Looks like it just flipped to rain in Lowell by my ring camera 34.7/34.3, guesstimating about 4" there. I don't think I've gotten an inch yet here. 28.2/26.2, windy as hell.
  12. MarkO
    First flakes. 20.4/15
  13. MarkO
    I'm getting nervous. I'll probably flip to rain at the tail end. You and Alex will remain all snow.

    Better solution on euro. At least it keeps it white in the mountains, well anything west of the Bigelow range.
  16. MarkO
    Not buying it stays nearly all snow in central NH with a track nearly up the CT river valley.
  17. MarkO
    I'll take that GFS track. Only means it's downhill from here.
  18. MarkO
    Holy schnikies some house creaking gusts. Few and far between, like the rogue wave. 7.9/2
  19. MarkO
    Mount Washington profile says what you need to know. Freezing around here below 1500'. As I mentioned, 22.3, actually 22.5 now (1100')

    Dusting of snow this AM here in Thornton. 22.3/17. Expecting some glaze early afternoon. Roads will probably be a mess up here, especially being a mountain community. As for Omicron, I got it now. I came up to self isolate, but I think it's only a matter of time my wife and kids test positive (I think they tested too soon). They have symptoms and are in school/work. Unless you live in a yurt in NW Maine, you're going to get it.

    I assumed it had to do with more of weather seeing most towns are south and east of Boston. I guess it could be influenced by Covid teting, but shouldn't we be seeing it nationwide?
  22. MarkO
    Not sure if this has been brought up, but can't believe the number of schools closed or on delay this AM. I think it's more of "we need one more vacation day".
  23. MarkO
    100% agree. It's probably my favorite trail at Cannon. Definitely got to hug the skiers left when snow is scarce but trail is open.
  24. MarkO
    Skied Cannon yesterday. Lift lines weren't bad considering it's a holiday week. They limited ticket sales. Conditions were pretty good as well. Skied Vista on natural snow. If they could muster another 6" or so, they might be able to open more natural terrain.

    squeezed out just under 2" since last night, still snowing lightly. 26.8/25
