powderfreak Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Love this time of year in NNE... the bright sunny days with temps even hitting 40F is like euphoric right now. Can't wait for 50s at some point. Here's a shot from work at Stowe, looking towards Mount Washington and the Presidential Range. The air is so crystal clear this time of year with the low dews...there's like no moisture in the air. Crazy how big the MWN area looks in the crystal clear skies... the low-lands in the foreground of the photo are the fields along the RT 100 corridor near the Stowe/Morrisville border. The MVL ASOS is near those fields and yet there's the Presidential Range looming in the distance. Incredible when you look at a map that you can see part of the town of Stowe in this photo and MWN.

The hills when looking west from route 2 in Leominster show that deep white you don’t see all that often this time of year. Interesting mini line of white there in eastern Connecticut... Lol.....there’s a pile still melting on our street here in West Hartford.....it’s pitiful actually....this is it folks.....say goodbye for 9 months.....yep we’re seeing nothing good until at least Xmas.....winter here is a joke....need to move back to CA for anything legit and long lasting.....Tahoe City seems real nice....maybe Truckee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 So I suppose there is something to keep an eye on. Maybe not full tilt, but back-burner worthy. Next week will have some higher heights in the Davis Straits along with a piece of the PV off to the south in srn Canada. Certainly some ingredients for a late season event...obviously interior or NNE favored, but coast too. Some more favorable looks last couple of days. It's clown land and late in the season, so we know what that means....but as I said...back-burner stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love that pic. The off-white of the Presidentials reminds me of when we first moved to maine in Jan. 1973. My bro-in-law, who was helping us unpack, wanted to climb a "Maine mountain", so we drove SW from BGR and spotted Dixmont Hill (atlas now calls it Harris Mt) and bushwhacked up to where all the TV towers were. Great views of Penobscot Bay, but to the north was something even more off-white (almost orange-ish) that I couldn't place. Later with more knowledge of Maine geography, I realized it was Katahdin, 90 miles away. From the south it stands alone - would resemble MWN in the above, but with only about 20% of the pic's width having the white visible, the mts outside of that portion being non-existent.

WinterWolf Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Yes, Katahdin is quite the site from any direction...only about 1000ft lower than Washington...it's mighty impressive for sure! But Washington is surrounded by big peaks, where Katahdin is kind of a more solo looking structure due to the much smaller mountains around it.

I think the best view is from the top of Sugarloaf (Timberline lift) on winter or spring day with clear sky. Look northeast and Katahdin in very visible with the Bigelows looming immediately in front of you and look southwest and the Presidential's are laid out in front of you with the longfellow's laid out in front.

WinterWolf Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 When you see it from I95 you're to the east of it then..and there doesn't seem to be to many big mountains in front of it(which would be it's east) at that point. But maybe I'm looking at this incorrectly?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
