I remember when I lived in Mass, knowing that there was snow up North was always comforting in a way even when there was no snow in my back yard. Being a skier of course has a lot to do with that as well. I live in NY but still spend lots of time in New England (especially with Covid-19 WFH flexibility) as my family is still largely in the Boston area and Southern NH. Growing up outside of Boston, I always liked having snow around as I liked sledding when I was little, skiing at the local hills midweek (winter 2010-11 had EVERYTHING in play at Blue Hills LOL), etc... That said, I have almost no interest in it snowing in (downstate) NY for a few reasons 1) if it’s snowing in NYC, it’s probably suppressed for the ski areas 2) it becomes such a mess to deal with and is only pretty for like 2 hours after the storm and 3) after living in Texas for four years of undergrad and two years post grad, I’ve decided that it’s really nice to be able to only wear a light jacket in the winter.

Most people are very IMBY centric, not saying they shouldn't be, just the way it is I think. Ginx and few others are the outliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Hey just saw our P&C. I know there’s still a lot of uncertainty but a day ago I thought I still had to prep for another possible flood so this makes me warm and fuzzy lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last winter was atrocious here in SNE, but I enjoyed some really nice powder days in Wildcat and especially Stowe, because up north it was much closer to normal.

Lol you are new here but we know our place and definitely know swfe climo. Yeah it will likely take Phin a few winters to get relaxed with however events may play out and the NNE weather vibe. He’s still in that Maryland mind set where everything is a snow/winter competition. Like if a trackable forum event doesn’t work out, there are other ways to get a plowable snowfall.

First flakes here were around 9:00 A.M., but it didn’t really start to pick up until about 10:00 A.M. The snowfall has generally been light as expected, but perhaps near 0.5”/hr with this latest push of more intense echoes coming in on the radar: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an 11:00 A.M. check on the boards and found 0.5” of accumulation, so that seems like a decent estimate for the average snowfall rate over the past hour here.

alex Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 About 1/4 inch here but it’s already melting lol. That December sun angle is killing it Or maybe the warm ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klw Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 light dusting here. I was shocked this morning as I had to go down to town first thing.. The snow cover was the opposite of normal. The lower I went in elevation the more snow had survived the Christmas melt. I guess cold air must have been trapped lower while we got the warmth. It was an odd surprise to see a few inches of glacier in town while even our woods were scoured clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wiped out very quickly here whereas there was a little more snow left over down in the town (not much, mind you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
