About 9” at camp in Thurman NY and about a foot at Gore when I left yesterday. Their website only reported 9” I think but easily a foot about 1/4 of the way up the mountain. Really fun day on the slopes. Not bottomless, but great on blue trails with moderate pitch. Had some really nice powder runs.

February 2010 was pretty severe here in the mid Atlantic and by the end of the month I took a class outside on a mild day and recall feeling that euphoria just sitting in the sun. As much as I like cold and snow, I seem to react to the lack of light more each rear.

Headed up to the camp in the Adirondacks. Was up there last weekend with a couple pals and rode Gore Saturday. Really nice day and good sized crowds but the place handled it. Going to ride Gore again this Saturday and hoping for a solid snow day up there. Point n click says 10-14” so getting excited.

Was up to my camp in the Adirondacks last 4 days. Mostly worked on the house but managed to snowshoe around the property. North facing slopes averaged 18-20” snow, but south facing down to 6” crust. Elevation varied from 1800’ to 2100’. Logging trails looked good for some backcountry split boarding with one more good storm.

Headed up to my camp in the Adirondacks tomorrow. Going to snowboard Gore Saturday. Have not been up there in almost a month. It’ll be my first time on a snowboard since my knee injury in June. Feeling ready.

Over a foot in Cape May Point area. Winds are ripping. Would love to get under that deform band if it is happening. To think I used to hate La Nina’s.

About 20 minutes WNW of Warrensburgh, 30 minutes due south of Gore. It’s not a done deal yet, but hoping to close on the property within 2 weeks. Lots of work to do on the old house, but there is a cool little cottage as well. It’s all off the grid with solar.

Thanks klw. I’m one county south of that map, but if Newcomb gets between 100-125 at 1600’ elevation I figure I can count on something similar being a bit south but 200-400’ higher. I’m very close to Garnet Lake and Crane Mountain.

Thanks for the reply. It’s 140 acres so it might be fun to do some backcountry skiing and boarding on the land. It has some nice dips along logging trails. Just need to clean up the trails from deadfall.

Hello NNE’ers After looking for a place for almost a year, my wife and I are in the process of purchasing some land in the Adirondacks. It is near Garnet Lake in Warren Co. and has an elevation ranging from 1700’ to 2300’. I know this isn’t New England, but I thought some of you folks might give me an idea of how much snow I can expect on an average winter? Gore Mountain is about 25 minutes away to the north with a similar base elevation. They claim 150” annual, but not sure if that mid-mountain. Super excited to close on this place and start fixing the 1880 house up.

Ospreys and dolphins are back

Yes over an inch here in cape May. Guess I am really paying for those 2 Nina winters where the beaches scored. Two half inch events this winter and one half inch all of last winter. Glad you did better this winter.

1” total from two 1/2” events. Now I know that we are supposed to get less than any other part of this sub forum, but isn’t that a little extreme? Just a warmer version of 1994. Extreme gradient and I live on the wrong side of it. Wish I could travel.

Hoping for our first inch of snow in 2 years. Bar set pretty low. Coastal area is out of wiggle room.

Misty sleet in cape May.

Hahaha I get it guys, this place sucks for snow. We average 15”/yr so this drought is pretty bad. I grew up in Morris Co but have been down here since ‘95. So basically I grew up in the snow drought years of the 80s and 90s up there and moved here where it’s worse. I love it here tho. Surfing, fishing, kayaking and hunting. It’s pretty sweet. I normally head to Vermont and Colorado every winter to snowboard but can’t due to Covid. I think 95 and N &W look good for this one. Wish I could chase up north with my family but you know.

Good luck up there inland peeps. I just can’t see a way we win down here with this one. That’s why I reeling over losing tomorrow. That one felt like ours. “Southern slider” for south coastal snow weenies. Have not had an inch of snow in almost 48 months.

I’ve noticed the rain here has been getting colder with each storm.

Water temp issue can be a bit tricky. During early summer, the thermocline is shallow, so it is fairly easy to upwell cold water. Due to Ekman transport a sea breeze can provide swells, but also move warm water offshore and pull cold water to the surface. Later in the summer, the warm layer is thicker and more difficult to upwell cold water. Where I live in Cape May, one must be careful looking at water temps in the spring and fall due to strong influences from the shallow Delaware Bay and adjacent marshes. For example, in the fall, after a cold night, if water temps are sampled in the morning during low tide, you would get an artificially low temp. Opposite holds in spring. Our latest temp is 41. That’s a bit influenced by 2 cold nights in a row.

Saw some solid flurry action about 20 minutes ago. I’m satisfied. 1st flakes of the year on Christmas night no less. Merry Christmas everyone.

Currently 44f with NW winds 20-25 picked up 2.75” since last night. Ocean temp right around 50f so a few degrees above average.

Friend says over 2.75” in his rain gauge West Cape May, NJ Unreal how wet it has been

@CAPE Wife and I happened to be visiting family in N Jersey for that storm so we saw the full brunt of it which was awesome. However, coastal cape May did get about a foot of snow That turned to a mix of sleet and ice with storm force winds. When we came home, the north side of the house was caked in a 2” thick crust of sleet and ice. Never seen anything like that since down here.

Thank you once again @J.Spin for the detailed info on Bolton. Unfortunately, I cannot make it up this time. I will strongly consider these options in the future. I haven’t been to Bolton since I was a kid with my family around 1982.

Thank you @J.Spin for the update. I’m still not sure but can decide as late as Wed to make that long drive. I’m so snow starved. Curious about Bolton backcountry. I see you have posted pictures in the past. Easy to access? Mostly looking to earn my turns this weekend. Any suggestions much appreciated!
