If it were full sun, possible. However with the ULL over us, could be self destructive sun. Probably days where 1000' are like 8-10 degrees colder than sea level.

GEFS are horrifically boring next week.

Yeah pretty much an AMOUT scenario. Euro was/is wrong..no storms..no rain..just dry dry dry as we spiral endlessly twds severe drought conditions.

Well not entirely sure about that, but hopefully euro doesn't back down. It's a pretty complicated pattern so I don't expect models to lock in 1 week out.

Yeah im sure it'll pan out just like that lol

7 days out so just model la-la land overall.

euro ens have had the same general signal though. we'll see. could all end up too little / too late which would be a shame and just horribly boring.

one thing that has more certainty is generally near or below normal temps for the next week +

Jesus H... next week on the 12z GFS looks like some fun for the upslope regions of NNE, especially above 1,500ft.

I do realize though that 98% of the posters on here may want to slit their wrists if this happens. But its something to talk about.

Event starts on Monday afternoon...

Now this isn't text book upslope by any means, but with a cut-off mid/upper level features, moist cyclonic flow with general RH staying above 70% with periods of >90%, and light to moderate orographic flow at times, the higher elevations of the Greens, Whites, and Maine Mtns could see a couple inches of snow each day next week.

Even still, all areas below 1,000ft will probably want to hang themselves after a week of clouds, drizzle, showers, etc.

i plan on being at either wildcat or saddleback wed/thur next week so i'm hoping some one (in addition) to the greens can score.

hopefully wildcat could squeeze a couple inches out every day for some freshies

I'd love to try Saddleback and given what skierinvermont posts, they should do quite well in this type of pattern being on the more northern/western slope of the Maine mountains as opposed to Sunday River on the southern/eastern side of the range.

Lots of breaks here and up to 44, but a nice brisk breeze.

Full on wall-to-wall sunshine right now down near the Hudson in Bethlehem. Good ol' downsloping in the valley. Feels like its gotta be up near 50 degrees.

A far cry from home which is still seeing flurries...

4,000ft... 21F (wind chill of 1F)

1,500ft... 33F

800ft... 36F

SR also probably loses upslope moisture to the higher Mahoosucs about 10 miles to their west, while Saddleback is nearly 1,000' taller than most of the peaks to their west and north. Sugarloaf looks NE, and has 4 other peaks 3,980' or taller within about 5 miles - don't know what effect that would make compared to the first two places.

Good observations... I wish it was a more populated region like the upslope areas in Vermont which are pretty much bedroom communities for BTV or resort towns. It would be great to understand the snowfall patterns more in northern NH and ME from first hand observations.

Just a quick glance at a topo map and its easy to see why Saddleback would get a lot more snow than Sunday River.

It doesn't look like it got above 32F in Rangley today... nice chilly April day and I bet they've been seeing flurries and snow showers too.

I love this camera loop from northern NH... flakes in the air most of the day. Easily the least understood area in terms of snowfall and precipitation in New England... also the least populated.

I need to figure out how to set something like this up at Stowe. I'd be sweet to watch the squalls roll over the Green Mountain Spine all day long like the loop below (click on the picture).
