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

When I was at Killington last year I recall seeing something about the Skyeship gondola being retired - is it just the original cabins? Anyone know if the Skyeship will be running this year? Just took a look at their website and it says they try to open it in late December but wasn't sure if that was simply historical info or current year expectations.

I'm curious if they actually can learn enough to improve or is it simply impossible due to too many variables and too much complexity for what it's trying to solve. It's cool that we're going to get to witness how they play out over the next several years.

Is there a general time period when the highest gusts are expected to subside in your area? We're heading to the Seaport later this afternoon and picking up our son at Logan at 5:30am tomorrow. Curious what kind of ride down we may have.

Not much out this way yet but it appears to be coming!

Any likelihood of delays at Logan early Saturday morning? Our son is taking a redeye out of LAX into BOS arriving at 5:30am. We're staying overnight about 20 minutes away to pick him up bright and early but am curious what the outlook is for possible delays.

I'm struggling to determine where this one falls...

Another seasonally festive nice morning! 28 and light snow. Maybe a 1/4 to 1/3rd of an inch but it certainly helps to make it feel like a winter of old. Heading back up to Bretton Woods today for the evening and a bitterly cold day of snowboarding tomorrow

Nice professional presentation with this. However, with it being on Youtube, I noticed a decided lack of hype, sensationalism and errors that usually accompany weather related videos.

Drove up to Bretton Woods on Wednesday to kick off our season with riding on Thursday. The drive up was an adventure. 38 and cloudy at the house but temps dropped quickly by the Tilton/Franklin area. Snow picked up in earnest around Plymouth and by the time we hit Franconia Notch the roads were untouched by plows. Cleared up a bit on route 3 and 302 with temps jumping back up to 30. The hotel was nice and festive with all the decorations. Definitely busier than I was expecting for a Wednesday night. There were three full bus loads of people there for something. Thursday on the slopes was great. Excellent conditions, no ice to speak of, plenty of 8”-10” powder on the side of the trails. In and out of snow, wind and sun all day. A really good start to the season!
