    Decent day out there today given the circumstances. Early from mid mountain up was firm and fast. Below 2500 never locked up so spring conditions continued. By noon the whole mountain softened up to spring conditions which got a little moguled with a Saturday crowed. Planning on heading up to sugarloaf the weekend of the 11/12 as SVT may be finished relatively soon. Over all a decent winter for SVT.

    I was surprised to find a decent amount of snow left at my house in SVT. Being tucked in a gorge and north facing really helps with retention.

    Hopefully we do not see another 2015/16 anytime soon. The worst part about that season was the incredibly warm early season which left only brief windows for snow making. So your entering prime season with very little base. That further complicates things anytime you have a warm up or cutter. 2008 early April was another incredible warm up and rapid melt out. 100% open with deep snow to almost closed in less then a week. High 70s at the summit of Killington. Got the worst sunburn of my life!

    They are all crowded. The limited loading of chairs and Gondi at Stratton have been an issue. I haven’t been to Mt snow or Okemo this season but I would expect the same. I’m heading up tomorrow for what hopefully isn’t the last weekend

    Just go to the 3 day weather history on the noaa point and click and it gives you all the rain totals for each site. Looks like most of the heavy rain stayed to our west.

    The area between the main tracks just north east of the Bahamas should be primed with OHC this season. Majors create so much upwelling the can effect OHC for several seasons.

    I was a senior at Towson for 2004 and it was incredible. Once thing to look for is damage to the outer branches of trees. You will see brown spots of leaves. I must have been in some sort of epicenter as everything was covered with them. Just walking around meant crunching dozens.

    We are on the periphery of the hybrid low off the Carolinas. You can clearly see the North East flow off the colder Atlantic. Typical early spring for the Coast.

    Similar at Killington. My friend was drinking a Gatorade and an employee went ballistic because he wasn’t pulling his mask up between sips. Meanwhile in the outdoor bar area everyone was maskless. I get it’s his job, but yelling and poking was over the top. Honestly I can’t wait for next season, full Gondis all day.

    Low dews are definitely a factor. Things will really jump Thursday and Friday with high dew warm combo.

    Daffodils are up here on the uws. Should be in full bloom by the end of the week. Hoping to salvage one more weekend on the mountain, but it’s not looking promising

    Fantastic explanation, thanks! I am fully expecting to ride only snow making trails next weekend. The pile on superstar at Killington is pretty incredible right now. It has to be at least 30’ deep near the top. That’s how you get into May with uncooperative weather
  13. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Very true, the rain on this past Thursday in svt just soaked right into the snow pack and the impact on conditions has been negligible. By the afternoon today at Killington it was full on mashed potatoes from 3000’ down.

    Solid glacier, going to take allot of warm sunny days to melt
  15. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Good to see. Heading up there tomorrow.

    Active seasons are almost a lock now unless we have a moderate or stronger Nino. Our buffer zone of sub 80 degree water keeps shrinking as well. It’s only a matter of time before we see a cat three rocket up the coast 38 style

    R/s line was hovering around 3,000’ during the day today in SVT. Here at my house at 1400’ precip ended before we got any colder air in. Based on some pretty heavy rates after I left the mountain there should be something like 6” above 3500’. Still plenty of snow left even at 1400 with 100% coverage and an average of about 12”. (North facing)
  18. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Snowing above 3,000 today at Stratton, about 2” of mashed potatoes before I got too soaked lower down and had to call it a day. If it keeps ripping up high this could be a nice little event
  19. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Only about an 1” on the uws. We seemed to be just north or south of the best banding
  20. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Just look at what happened to Montreal In Jan 98. Just a massive system wide power failure taking multiple weeks to fix. That’s a multi billion dollar disaster I do not want to witness. I’m waiting for my cat 3 Long Island hurricane strike, which will have similar effects.
  21. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Very true, the Jan 94 ice storm was .5-.75” of ice. Impactful but not significant. If we were to ever have a 1”+ ice storm in the metro it would make any of our wind events looks like a walk in the park as far as power issues
  22. LongBeachSurfFreak
    I use visibility markers using blocks in the city. One of the easiest places to do it. Looks like it’s snowing much harder in the southern part of the city vs. northern.
  23. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Snowing nicely now on the uws. Looks like there could be a decent cutoff from north to south in the city.
  24. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Highly unlikely, suppression depression is the way to go
  25. LongBeachSurfFreak
    Precip trajectory lot looking good for the city south. By the time the southern moisture plume meets up with the northern it wilL most likely be too late for the coast. Allot of wasted cold last night. KFOK got down to 6 last night, and with an onshore flow will rocket above freezing.
