With all this movement, I'm sensing the possibility of a coup this weekend...

We returned from Bretton Woods on Friday to bare ground. Looks like about 9-ish fluffy inches since then. You can see one of the massive fatties falling in front of the stake. The first round on Saturday settled and compacted a bit so who knows. Looks and feels like a “normal” winter around these parts in spite of some of the things I read

Thanks, I appreciate your response and perspective on this. Going to be interesting to see how it ultimately evolves and plays out over time.

Since this storm is gone...I don't necessarily feel like I'm derailing the thread by asking: Do you have experience or knowledge about how the AI models are attempting to assimilate data and/or generate output? My very limited understanding is that they're supposed to "learn" but what are they learning from? Historical data? Current data? Compared to other model outputs? Or, comparing after the fact, what actually happened? Curious about all this but not even sure where to look for a quality resource that may explain some of these things.

Could you please expand on this regarding how AI is assisting the weather models or "learning" from the outputs? Genuinely curious for a 30kft perspective on it if you have one.

Miss! Cut! Just a bit outside! /JK

1. Thoughtfully consider which douchebag you'd like to mute/ignore. 2. Click on your profile name in the upper right corner of your screen. 3. In the dropdown menu, click on "Ignored Users" 4. In the "Add New User To Ignore List" section, type out said douchebag's username one angry key stroke at a time. 5. Click on the losers name to add to ignore list. 6. Happily enjoy reading improved content thereafter with a smile on your face Hope this is helpful!

I believe you've mentioned in the past that you're on a dirt road. Ironically, this property too is on a dirt road and there's a paved roadway about 1,800' away. We could hear it while walking the lot but it was just a hum in the background. The building area is right about at 900' on a 1,000' high hill which I like. We're seriously considering it and have some questions into the realtor before making the leap. The "issue" with the club trail is exclusively due to wanting privacy and solitude. We've discussed the positives of having it as well where it's entirely possible we may end up getting sleds and having a blast accessing the trail system right from the backyard

Very helpful info - thanks for taking the time to add this.

Thank you all for the input - it's really helpful. The wife and I are looking for a nice quiet, private spot for a peaceful place to live out our 2nd half. At 900' elevation with a beautiful view we both really would like to jump on this.

Couple questions for the active snowmobilers amongst us here: I looked at a property today that I'm really interested in but it's got a local snowmobile club trail bisecting a portion of it. It's not a corridor or primary trail - it's specifically listed as a "secondary" and "club trail". Is it possible to say what kind of frequency trails like this are accessed/used? Is it frowned upon if/when trails are rerouted on the same property? Are these trails used in the summer? This is a rural vacant building lot and a location to build a house is above the existing trail by about 250 feet in a straight line and maybe 75 to 100 feet in elevation. Seems close for someone who's looking for significant privacy (me!) and am seriously considering this property. Tagging a few people here who I've seen post about snowmobiling in case you have any input on this - TIA: @WinterWolf @dryslot @mreaves

It's interesting how this kind of experienced assessment seems to be glossed over or simply ignored. Maybe it's easier to latch onto a "pattern is crap", "warm and dry for the next two weeks", or "worst kind of weather you can get" statement with a quick glance at the models. The quote above sounds reasonable and meaningfully thought out. Time will tell how it all plays out over the next few days.

@tunafish I think we're going to need you to run your AI translation bot on this one...

Just got back from Newington where it was 38 and lots of melting. At home, we can't seem to crest 34. Heading out shortly to shovel what I can because like you said, this is all going to lock up for the next few days!

Quality post with helpful and interesting information, thanks.

Bust badly in which direction? Or simply in it's overall depiction?

That’s crazy that you’ve only got about 2.5”. Google maps says I’m 6.25 miles in a straight line to the center of downtown Portsmouth. That’s a steep gradient!

One of those swirling bands is tickling us with some nice snowfall again this morning. Nice change of pace from the past few years and about as festive as you can get!

Calling it 6” - 6.5” of fluff here. Festive!

Started here about the same time as you. 31.6. Expecting more than the 0.2" Dover has been locally forecast to get.

33.4 and nothing yet on the coast. Still got some dirty snowbanks out there though
