Yep, out of nowhere. It’s perfect fluff—glistening everywhere under spotlights.

3” and counting

Subforum on edge

A surprise 2” here overnight. Still lightly snowing.

I was on the rail trail up here. I’m not knowledgeable enough to know if the trails are in good condition but a lot of folks were out today, hikers and riders.

Strongly strongly considering buying one.

Well I’ve accomplished the goal of staying up here as much as I could so far. It’s been very good to say the least. You know you’re getting acclimated when you’re walking outside in short sleeves in single degree weather. But with the quiet wx coming and work about to pick back up it’s about time to head back home to the subtropics of the CTRV for a bit.

I’m in 100% agreement with Ray on this season’s evolution. We’re a long way from done. I’m cautiously optimistic most of NE will be in striking distance of climo (but still behind I think) by the end of February, with a decent March on the table. Just not sure it’ll be with a big event. Nobody likes to lose any time in winter on a less favorable pattern but that’s climo too. Wall to wall isn’t a thing with regularity. Not sure why some people seem to expect that each year.

Objectively wrong but what else is new. I'm in one of the least favorable "interior" spots in SNE and in those awful years most of my decent to higher end events came after the new year. Unless you're staring down a truly epic wall to wall blowtorch there's no reason to cancel winter anywhere in New England before January 1.

Most of the time I agree with this but sometimes you do see it coming. Like last year. When you get chance after chance and fabled epic patterns that fail to produce, you can get a sense of the tenor of the season imo. And that’s not to say you can’t get nice stretches, but sometimes a season becomes irredeemable. Now that’s not to say it’s all based on vibes, sometimes you can see that a critical piece of what we need just won’t come through (read: PAC in recent years). And just because things are bad it doesn’t mean they necessarily have to get better in the same season. We’ve seen a lot of that recently. Doesn’t mean it’ll always be that way but that’s the cycle we’ve been in.

Pretty sure this is the coldest I’ve ever seen it snow—very fine flakes under partly cloudy skies at -1.6/-5.0. Not diamond dust. Maybe some moisture from the epic LES off Ontario made it this way. Regardless, very cool.

YOU SIR ARE A HEATHEN! A HEATHEN!!

12 is so much better than 2 or 4. Now there are a lot more programs that are in the game, and one bad game doesn’t necessarily destroy a season. People are always going to argue on the fringes but I’d much rather have an undeserving #12 kick out 13 over an undeserving #4 kicking out 5. The season is a little long though. With bowl games mattering less than ever, might as well play the playoffs in December and wrap up very early in January with the title game. January 19th is ridiculous. -4.3/-8.5 Man cold out here.

Notre Dame, BYU, and Texas didn’t deserve it either. The bottom of the rankings weren’t great. Just go to 16 and call it a day. -2.0/-7 WC -16

4° here with a -11 WC. Snow guns on full blast.

Love this. Absolutely frigid today.

Deep deep winter on January 1.

Eventually that’ll lose out. Perpetual warmth or cold in our region is very hard to accomplish. At least it’s not days and days of 50+ and it is on the front end of a cold reload.

Happy New Year!

Congrats and Happy New Year!

The bust became apparent here on hi res literally a couple hours before onset but to my surprise we made a bit of a comeback with some overnight fluff. Finished with 1.8” and certainly appreciative of that. Congrats to everyone in SNE that had this deliver.
