So we have that going for us, which is nice.

Woke up to this weird white stuff plastered onto the deck.

Partial dusting

When do y'all abandon the quest for snow and start rooting for futility records? I think I have another couple weeks in me, although I wouldn't be surprised if some were there already.

Never.  Snow is a blessing and I eagerly anticipate every inch.

 fwiw: unconfirmed but mPing recently brief IPW- s of KPVD (modeled sounding looked a touch too warm but I don't know?) and pea size hail north of DCA. It's definitely becoming convective in n MD as of 730P.  Should be a nice round of rain coming soon (overnight) for the bulk of the subforum. 

Great

I like April

In April.  This sucks (except for the furnace not running).

I haven't actually stopped there yet but I've had their stuff a bunch of times and love it. It's at the top of my hit list after I scrape up the $$ to replace the engine in my current vehicle and I'm mobile again. 

That’s a project.  I’m about to go out to get new windshield wipers which is about the extent of my skills and budget.

The snowmaking trails should be fine, but it definitely leads to a bit more crowding on the hill as everyone gets funneled into the same runs.  Much more enjoyable with natural snow trails going to spread people out.  Definitely could go for a full 7+ days of round the clock snowmaking temps anytime soon again.  It feels like expansion has been very slow lately because you're always doubling back to make snow in the same areas after each of these "thaws".  We lost about 36 good hours of snowmaking too last weekend after the wind storm, as Stowe Electric had so many trees/poles down that the mountain took a "civic pause" to not stress the local power grid as the snowmaking system is a massive electric draw.

It's definitely becoming a sneaky poor first half of winter looking at what the next 7 days should bring too.  We were super lucky to get that big heavy/dense snow event a couple weeks ago as I think most mountains have been largely surviving on that for natural snow trails.

I kind of feel like this has been an average start to the season.  We got 7 days of good conditions in December and that seems to my recollection to be about, give or take, how its been in the last decade.  Looking like a struggle through the latter part of January when hopefully things will pick up around super bowl weekend.

happy new year all

Merry xmas

bottomed out at 14f here.  19f now.

low of 6f here.

went out to run some errands.  roads are fine...until they're not.  Multiple spots where there's an ice flow 6" thick cutting across the roadway.

merry xmas

8f.  Brisk.

down to 24f here.  just shy of 2" rain.  streams raging.

53f with 1.85" in the bucket

41f here now.

This should be a snow storm.  Not right.

Another grincher storm just in time for the holidays, unfortunate but at least there’s only maybe 3-4” of pack leftover from last week’s pair of events as compared to the 18” of pack from Christmas 2020’s grincher 

 

what I’d give to be in Buffalo or Watertown this weekend, though, another king-sized LES event for those areas 

this a real kick in the knockers for east coast ski areas.  its unbelievable, virtually every year.

We picked up about a foot last night night on top of what came yesterday.  Mtn reporting 20” total.  Gotta run

Eyeballing 4” otg in warren

Wagons north for me.  Hoping to hit the road by 2ish.

It never gets dark in our house anymore. The best is when they go to FL for the winter the lights go on a motion sensor so they're constantly going on and off. I need a bb gun 

This aggression shall not stand.

I want to bless this thread and storm with all my heart. 

I think there was about an inch on  my deck.  very satisfied with that.

Coating on soft surfaces here.  Nice look.

Holy! just went to pick up some groceries/gas and people are running around like chickens without their heads.  snow flakes!

Good Saturday morning everyone, Dec 10. Multiple winter impacts likely between tomorrow and Christmas.

Sunday ending early Monday: am getting the snow blower ready (Wantage) just in case, along and north of i-84. Periods of snow will accumulate on all non-treated pavement especially Sunday night. Some melting occurs during midday Monday. The southern edge of this event is with marginal temps from Easton PA (I78-just south of I-80) into southern Warren County NJ and may be mixed with rain. However, am pretty sure it's all snow along and north of I-80. Plan for a bit of manageable slippery travel Sunday afternoon and night in the I84 corrdior to Old Forge NY. 

Snow amounts listed below are on grass/decks/roofs. Less on pavement everywhere with melting during the day. Snow intensity varies: briefly moderate at times.

ne PA-nw NJ: Snow begins between 7A-1P Sunday (prelim burst of flurries is possible at 5am) Snow ends between 5A and 11A Monday. Expect 2 to 4" in the Poconos and 2-5" Sussex County with isolated 6 or 7" possible near Vernon-Highland Lakes. Overall heaviest northern part of Sussex County. Suspect plowing will be needed in some of this area Sunday night. 

Easton PA up into Great Meadows of Warren County NJ expect a coating to 1.5". 

Hartford-Ashford CT-Monson MA-Old Forge NY you begin Noon-4P Sunday with a solid 2-4" expected before it quits as flurries sunrise Monday. Could see some 5-6" amounts in the high terrain of nw CT and the southern Adirondacks-south of Old Forge. Plowing will be needed in parts of CT and western MA.

Boston: you may see some snow showers later today or tonight and you're on the edge for 1/2 to 2" between 6P Sunday-6A Monday.

One conservative ensemble map this morning shows the best chance for 1"+...you can see the probabilities have increased since yesterday. In the orange area of NYS is the best chance for 6-7" amounts.   NWS amounts are less far Northwest NJ and should be considered as a posdsible but fit.  I may have gone off the deep end in ne Sussex County NJ where the inverted trough interacts with elevation chill to permit some decent snowfall rates early Monday??

Middle of next week (Wednrsday-Friday). A large potentially higher impact winter storm is coming for the interior northeast USA ust northwest of I95 from VA up through to Canada. Model thinking is a bit colder today and so snow-ice looks predominant over the interior. There might even be snow along the coast. Ensembles still favor a closer track to the coast as proposed yesterday. 

 

Thanks, Walt.

shouldn’t there be a thread for the late week system?

Isn't there a poster here from Rossland, BC?

If so, could you please DM me.  Thank you.
