We are a lodging partner of the ski resort but completely unrelated. We manage about 25 properties So do you live off the resort I assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 That may be a record for Mansfield in November. Will have to do some digging. I mean this has been absurd. And it was dumping when I left up there....huge snow banks, trees loaded to the top, snow blowing everywhere. It honestly could be February up there. A friend took this in the base area earlier today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only stuck around for about 3 days before getting decimated. Will might be able to remember.... but looking at the data it would appear it was one massive storm cycle or something that jacked the snowpack up and then it got warm again and the snowpack dropped almost as fast. It was November 13-15, 1990. This will most certainly win for snow depth days in November... there really aren't numbers on that I can find but looking at depths I can't see anything else really being this consistent.

backedgeapproaching Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Still pasty today looking out the backyard towards the Greens. Not often here do we get paste for a couple days hanging on without wind or temps blowing /melting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 A couple hours ago leaving work at the hill... just cranking snow at that time. A 48-hour storm and counting at that point. The snowbank is getting pretty high up on that stop sign on the right. It would really only take one more good storm to put the snowbanks up to sign level.

The low level flakes have been pretty awesome aggregates at times though. This time of year, QPF is great for building the base. The fluff will come. This is hard to comprehend in November for turning conditions... an event with over 2" QPF as snow in the hills, that's impressive any time of the year.

Someone on alpine zone said that sb got 56” in that November storm in ‘90 and then it was gone within days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 3.25" overnight with some very light snow falling. Looks like this is the final stretch though, and some rain in the later part of the weekend? Perfectly normal for this time of the year, but it sure is fun to have this.

ApacheTrout Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 This event played out similarly to the Dec 12, 2014 event that cause more outages in Vermont than did TS Irene. Borderline temps in the Champlain Valley that still produced decent snow, temps hovering at 32F elsewhere, and moisture-laden circulation from three directions (south, east, then north) over 2 days. Great event for late November. Two thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 It looks like the Coast Mountains in BC up at the ski resorts right now. Just pasted and plastered with snow. Sheets of light snow and mist/fog with wind this morning...just so much moisture in the past 2-3 days. This has been a special month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSpin, have you heard anything about Timberline at Bolton? I just saw these photos this morning and this does not look good. Definitely full deropement.

wxeyeNH Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 On the couch today with a very sore back. Over did it yesterday with snow blowing and roof raking. Then trying to free birch trees. Snow depth 12". Season total 31.75". Not going to add much over the next 10 days. Bit of snow to crap to rain on Saturday. Next weeks storm looks south.

wxeyeNH Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Really struggled today to get above freezing. Another day without sun. All week temps have stayed in a very narrow range 3F range. Wish it would just warm up enough to get all the snow off of the trees. Ordered a new Davis weather station today. Mine is about 17 years old time for a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
