Lava Rock Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Good luck, Looks like there will be plenty of hard pack was hoping the trough would have provided 1-2", but no dice. Figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Its not good up here, Even up north, Lot of open water, Bogs unfrozen, Water bars in the trails, Thin base, One of the main trails crossing Moosehead lake is wide open How's like Jackman to Caribou doing? Sounds like you have to go pretty far north to find something worth riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackman is better the Caribou i believe right now, The best snow is in the NW part of the state, I mean its not excellent conditions, But i spoke to a buddy of mine in Eustis and he says the riding is good heading towards the Canadien border Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have been all over VT but I have never been to Huntington Gorge. Just too many bad endings to even think about swimming there so I have just never found a reason to go. Beautiful pics though. It is a beautiful spot even if it hides a dark history. I would never swim there that is for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamarack Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 A strong cutter is good for the soul....find the silver linings....salt gets washed off the car and the damaging drought we've been in will be aided. Might as well keep the current protocol. Since Dec. 1 I've had 9.15" precip, which is about 120% of my avg. Unfortunately, 6.70" (73%) has come as rain, a bit higher than that if one includes the bits of zr during that period. That's by far the most D-J rain I've recorded in my almost 18 years here. Why not add February to the picture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 It is a beautiful spot even if it hides a dark history. I would never swim there that is for sure. Bet there is some ice in those cracks and crannies well into the warm weather months. Ice stays in the Polar Caves year round. They have to shovel and pick at the ice to get it opened after Memorial Day Never heard of Huntington Gorge till now but your post of its dark history intrigued me. Almost 2 dozen deaths in the past half century. I can see why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Wednesday Showers likely. Cloudy, with a high near 46. Strong and damaging winds, with a south wind 55 to 65 mph, with gusts as high as 80 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. maybe we have to hit rock bottom before recovering. that would be rock bottom, I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ono Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Never heard of Huntington Gorge till now but your post of its dark history intrigued me. Almost 2 dozen deaths in the past half century. I can see why! In the recent past, tasked with bringing a bunch of college age kids around the gorge for some educational stuff... always have to emphasize how virtually all of the people have bit the dust there are considerably young (under 30, mostly 16-25). However, included in those deaths- a VT state police dive team member. Backstory, IIRC, the state police dive team was sent in to recover the body of a teenage/college age kid that was pinned in the hydraulic. The water was still high, but there was pressure from the family to retrieve the body. Politics won over. The dive team was roped and bolted into the rock as I understand it... and the forces were still too much and the diver never made it out. It's pretty much assumed at Huntington Gorge that, given a few years, some (usually young) person will make a fatal decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was in 1991 or 1992. It amazes me that people still tempt fate there. It seems like someone dies there more often than every few years. Another swimming hole in that area called the Bolton potholes that have claimed several people as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNY-LES FREAK Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Just trying to figure out how this system is going to attack a Southern Canadian barrage of HP's all along the border, and still manage not to slide/cut underneath, but I must be missing something here. Even a redevelopment scenario is off the table it seems. Crazy that its still 6 days out and its being called a lock but we all know about the lock of cutters vs a lock for a MECS is a completely different scenario. A cutter can be modeled successfully 6 days out because of the coverage of land that it has to work wit for a system to cut. if I cant post these images i apologize and it wont be done again!

SJonesWX Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 moving this from the model thread: So CON has a 20% chance to get above of 40" of seasonal snowfall when it ends January with a foot of cumulative snow?Ginxy loves these stats Yeah, so i wish i had taken a screen shot of the graphic, but that was the gist of it. So you're saying there's a chance.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 It looks like there’s been over an inch of new snow at the house, and there were lots of big flakes falling per the J&E Productions Live Web Cam. The big flakes are easiest to see, but in general I’m still blown away that I can pull my phone out of my pocket and get a full screen live image of the snow falling at the house.
