Periodically dumping at Magic today. Not much base and firm and lumpy underneath but the light snow skied in well and could pretty much rip on the low angle natural without much hesitation by 11 or so.
Yeah we lucked out with the fake effect today. You can see how some of these places in NYS pile up huge totals but can't retain them. That said maybe ours sticks around a bit now with the low sun angle and cold temps. Even as some sublimates.
The Octobomb (2011) I think you might well have got 30" up there. Not sure if you pulled it off in December 92 as well? The valley floor sure didn't haha. They hardly got anything.
Feb 13, great storm, was 2' for a lot of the valley. Maybe 25" for some but uniform.
Jan 15 was like 8" of arctic sand... less just west in the valley.
Jan 22 was 6", more baking powder
Aside from Jan 2011 in a few favored spots, I don't know if this area has ever had a 30" storm. Maybe 1888. Seems like a once in a hundred year type of event.
I was at that game in person. Cold and blustery with snow in the air but nothing really accumulating. Drunkest crowd I've ever been around. Bills fans would blush. I don't think anyone in the stadium sat down the entire game. Not kidding.
It's absolutely embarrassing how they treat Mt Ellen. They could have seen the issues both at the end of last year and this year coming a mile away and have made zero effort to compensate by utilizing one of the finest mountains in New England. Shameful really.
Yeah only 540' but higher terrain just north. Northeast of here a very short distance is Quabbin at equal height, but south and west it drops quite a bit.
Jackpot. Congrats. RGEM ftw
