Sugarloaf1989

A bit over one hour out from the start in Enfield. Just some cirrus.

Moosehead lake looks cool.in that satellite photo. Frozen and snowcovered.

28F here this morning. Normal is 57/36.

I didn't go based on the cloud forecast. Here in Connecticut, it's sunny right now with some high cirrus clouds. A more substantial cloud deck is visible to the West. Hopefully we get to see the eclipse in Connecticut.

I hope you wore protective eyewear setting up that platter.

I'm considering staying home. I'm handicapped and not the best at driving in traffic. It's sounds like N New England is one of the few places that might have somewhat clear skies. So it's bound to be crowded.

The latest forecast I saw. Has only extreme Northern New Hampshire, Norteastern Vermont and Maine being clear for the eclipse.

Light snow continues here and 35F. It's melting now with the high sun angle. Kinda surprised it snowed at all here in the valley.

I'm considering driving to Plattsburgh on Monday morning. There in the centerline and right now have a 17% chance for cloud cover. I just hope it's not crazy crowded driving up. It's about 4 hrs from my house.

Light snow continues here and 33F. Just accumulating on colder surfaces. Kinda surprised it snowed at all here in the valley.

34F with light snow and a slight coating on the grass.

37F rain/sleet mix. Lovely.

Sugarloaf looks to be cashing in on this storm. I saw a forecast calling for 12-18". That should set them up for a Regaee week with lot's of snow cover.

Any chance to see March snowfall in Enfield? I'll stay up late to see it snow.

I'm looking at the Sugarloaf webcams. And all the upper mountain lifts are closed. The flags on the beach are whipping in the wind.

I got vertigo skiing at Mt Batchelor years ago. Skiing from the summit and no trees to give the snow much definition.

No apples at all last Fall where I live. The May 17th frost/freeze did severe damage. Some parts of Connecticut dipped into the 20's for several hours.

I'm a bit late with posting this. But I took my final adaptive skiing lesson on Sunday 2/25. At Ski Sundown. It was a beautiful bluebird day with temperatures in the middle 30's. I skied there 4 times this season. 1/31, 2/5, 2/15 and 2/25. It was lot's of fun, with freindly instructors. I had one more lesson booked for 3/6. But it looks like they might not make it that late, with rain and 60F temperatures in the forecast. Gunbarel trail: Stinger trail:

I skied there shortly before they closed for good in March of 1998. It was a descent place for it's location. With a 750' vertical drop.

Hopefully not. The frost / freeze we had last May, severely Damaged the budding apple trees. My local orchard had no apples last Fall.

And the Last 4 day's haven't exactly been warm. I wish you good conditions for snowmobiling next month.

The sun angle is definitely having a bigger affect on snow-cover. Now in late February. Wednesday 2/14: Today:

I have one final lesson booked for 3/6.

I'm a little late posting this report. I was at Ski Sundown on Wednesday 2/14 for my third lesson. It was the best skiing conditions of the year with 4" of new snow. It was cold and windy. Making things a bit uncomfortable at times. Ski Sundown isn't making snow anymore. So it was probably my last chance to ski packed powder. I took 5 runs off the summit. Including the last run down a freshly groomed Canyon. Unfortunately while skiing down the run. The Sno Cart left ski dug into the soft snow and released, causing me to tip over. I'm okay, but that scared me a bit. And I quit for the night.
