    Pico was fantastic today. Not as fluffy as Stowe appears to be, but soft, wind-packed snow virtually everywhere. Woods were fantastic. Bump trails were sublime with soft snow even in the deep troughs. Giant Killer, which always seems to be a mess, was lovely on the left side. I picked a perfect day to debut my new Elan Ripstick 106s. Love them! Managed 22 runs today and 35K vertical feet, which is the most I've had since I started keeping track. Giant Killer

    Those pics from Bachelor look amazing. I need to get out there some day. Skiing at Pico on Tuesday was sublime. Falling snow, windloading, and light crowds allowed for fresh tracks most of the day. Blank slate on lots of trails:

    4.5 inches so far in Reading, VT

    True enough. Haven't spent much time down there, but figure a struggle with warmth is part of doing business for those areas. Killington/Pico reporting 10" today with snow showers continuing. With another round of snow forecast for the weekend, MLK conditions might be OK. Heading up on Friday.

    They are open now. You can see folks skiing on the web cam. They've averaged about 70" the past couple of years. Last year they actually set their record for longest continuous season. http://www.skisugar.com/sugar-mountain-stats/

    @The 4 Seasons 5" OTG in Middletown. Including the melted snow yesterday morning, storm total probably between 6-7 inches.
  8. sankaty
    Coming down pretty heavily in Middletown. About 1" OTG. 30F
  9. sankaty
    12" even in Middletown
  10. sankaty
    Yeah. Rates have been impressive, but not the snow-fog that I've seen in the real biggies that yielded 4+ inches/hour over the past decade.

    Estimating about 10" here. Looks like about 2"/hour. Looks like we'll probably get a foot without much trouble. 32F
  12. sankaty
    About 8" on cold surfaces. Heavy snow with tremendous snowgrowth. Seems like we'll easily get 10+ 32F
  13. sankaty
    32/24 About 3" down Moderate snow with great growth

    That band bisecting Middlesex County won't quit. Still have moderate snowglobe snow. The fluff from earlier is settling faster than it's accumulating, though.
  15. sankaty
    Intensity has lightened up a bit, but the western band is actually expanding a bit with the western edge drifting west.
  16. sankaty
    Just measured 7".
  17. sankaty
    Still living on the edge with heavy snow under the western band.
  18. sankaty
    Still cranking under that skinny band over central CT. Very heavy snow at times.
  19. sankaty
    That narrow western band is hanging tough (but by a thread) back here. Incredible snow-globe dendrites. Not sure how long it will stay stationary. 5.5" 31/30

    MLM has finally moved into Middletown. Hopefully it sticks around for a bit.
  21. sankaty
    Can't quite get into either the western or eastern band. Moderate snow on the fringe of the western band. About 4"
  22. sankaty
    About 1" so far. Moderate snow with decent growth despite being between bands. The band to our east seems to be making westward progress. 32/31
  23. sankaty
    Do you think it shifts the western secondary max eastward, or presents more like the rgem/gfs without a secondary max to the west?

    This is reminding me of 1/26/11 when the model mayhem was so severe I had no idea what was going to happen. Meanwhile, it's snowing heavily here and the radar looks pretty great. Unless the western edge of the radar is about to dry up, it seems to me that the GFS and RGEM have almost busted already.

    The key takeaway for me from the Euro is that the minimum QPF for the whole states of CT and MA is about 1.7". I'm sure the relative mins/maxes will shift around, but if large portions of SNE get much less than 1" QPF, that would be a monumental failure of the Euro. I'm not banking on it.
