How did Alex and PF do? I’m sure they have plenty still. 

Well you guys don't have to have any more snow envy as far as I am concerned.  Lost most all of it!!

  Just spoke to Alex.  Annoc. River almost overflowed but didn't.  Below is my before and after pic and a picture of Alex's property.

2.38" storm total rainfall. The snow pack held up surprisingly well given that I mixed out and was warm for > 24 hours. Still total coverage. I haven't measured yet, but it looks like 4-7" on average. 
 

Upslope is cranking pretty good at the moment. Around 1/2" new and moderate snow. Hoping to get some of my snow back.

Oh it's going to be atrocious skiing.  In a selfish way I don't get to ski much through the 1st so if there's a time for a break it's now.  

But I really feel for all the hardworking families that look forward to this for months and spend all that money on a family vacation in Ski Country.  It's funny though, no one I've talked to from Boston or NY is surprised.  They seem to expect the Xmas rain like all of us on this board do.  They say it's either raining or -30 below every year we come up.  

Its like looking forward to a week at the Cape in August only to have it rain the entire time.

Officially we will have a white Xmas but you know the look.  Old snowpack, ice, grass and mud on the snowbanks, etc.  the classic post thaw look in New England.  

Just switched to snow above 1,300ft as I drove up to work to help out this afternoon.

 It happens so frequently that I question why anybody even risks a family ski trip for this week ?

 Yeah, I know scheduling is tight with a family but better skiing is almost guaranteed for February break or pull the kids out of school two days and do a nice long weekend later in the winter.

Nice. I had tried to remember to check that out last night. I guess that’s a new Dec record then?

According to the SPC sounding climo, it's a record for Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, April. Only ever observed that high or higher from May - early Nov.
