Like the way it should be in the northern greens. Enjoy your laps, bro. I’m not back for another couple weeks, but pattern doesn’t look terrible through mid-month for us. Thanks the look was there. Enjoy man miss being up North this time of year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froude Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Love these midweek specials. It felt like it should out in the Greens this morning... lingering upslope and sun filtering through. We both had work to do but it's one of those winters where you have to take advantage. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Event totals: 3.8” Snow/0.15” L.E. Details from the 6:00 P.M. Waterbury observations: New Snow: 1.6 inches New Liquid: 0.03 inches Snow/Water Ratio: 53.3 Snow Density: 1.9% H2O Temperature: 12.7 F Sky: Partly Cloudy Snow at the stake: 15.0 inches The above totals should mark the end of this event, but there are apparently more in the storm queue: some models show a little something tonight, then there’s a rapidly moving shortwave dropping in from the northwest tomorrow night, then a larger system moving into the area on Saturday night, and yet another potential system in the Tuesday timeframe.

Sub-zero with wind chills to -40F, then temps of 45-50F with rain, then back cold again with snow chances. High winds are certain when those type of environmental changes are occurring. Get a lot of wind with the warm front and a lot of wind with the cold front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 As I posted elsewhere... Yet another powder day in a week full of them. We can call it "Mansfield Magic" or the "Jay Cloud" or whatever local hill term you want to use... but these last 7 days have been the Northern Green Mountains doing what they do best. From 32" at the Mansfield Stake to close to 60" in the course of 7-8 days, mostly "under the radar" so to speak. The Spine turns a series of weak low pressure systems, clippers, or frontal passages into a powder party that lasts for days. No big Winter Storm Warnings, Weather Channel named storms, or week-long internet chatter about an upcoming snowstorm leading to massive humanity-wide FOMO. They sneak in, fluff out, then move on before the next not-a-storm system moves in as a blip on the radar. I love these weather patterns that we just experienced. Yes, the forecast is not great for Sunday/Sunday Night, but I'm glad we just had a classic cycle. Just to remember why we love these mountains. Here's G.P. enjoying the powder (hooting during most of this) and somehow getting down the hill only making left turns. Even down at 1500ft saw 6" from this little system. After about the same amount the day before with that weak system. The Mansfield Stake was getting very close to 5 feet of depth... quite the increase from the 32" reading last week. A good two foot rise in snowpack up there, even with settling and wind compaction. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was high-end fun after yet another solid performer from Ma Nature. It's short lived this year, but fun to see the Mansfield magic finally come through after a number of imposter systems this season. The Alberta Clipper parade can be a good pattern in these parts it lines up. one of those dudes looks like pj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#NoPoles Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Holy heck it was cold today. And the wind was raging. Every gust created a ground blizzard. Tonight I drove through the Notch and met a friend for dinner at Delaneys Hole in the Wall. Had wanted to do Moat Mtn Brewery but they are closed wed/thur. On the way home, I had to drive through 3-4 ground blizzards coming back up the notch. Complete whiteout, 0 visibility. Kinda scary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dryslot Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 21 hours ago, tamarack said: NNE will probably get slammed Monday into Tuesday. I have to be at Maine Med at 6:30 Tuesday (ablation procedure, to address my a-fib) and we're overnighting a mile away rather than doing the 2-hour drive that morning. Two clippers, 4.5", thanks to 1.5" overnight. Surprised that LEW got so much, as cocorahs showed 6-8" in midcoast locales (Lincoln/Knox Counties) but mostly 4" or less elsewhere. Good Luck Tom! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, both of the little clippers this week did well here. I have received 21" since the back to back warm rainers here so it's been wintry, no doubt. The snow after the SWFE on 25 Feb has been kinda ephemeral though. Powderpuff stuff that measures well but quickly flattens out to much less.

powderfreak Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Two steps backward, three steps forward, one step backward? It's hard to stay in the basement for long, that was a nice little run of powder over the past 8 days. Now we take a step back but always onward and upward in the mean. Deepest mountain snowpack of the season for sure, as one would expect in early March. What a day out there today, sunshine and packed powder. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say, it’s amazing how icy the ski trails are in spite of all that powder. Love everything about Stowe but it’s about there with Cannon for ice, it seems! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a long way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love everything about Stowe but it’s about there with Cannon for ice, it seems! We ice. Maybe we are just used to it lol. It’s blue ice under there... my most terrifying turns of the season were down through the "Nosedive turns" on literal blue ice last week en route to woods shots that harbored knee deep blower. It was two of the most extreme condition types... from holding on for dear life to oh my god hoot and hollar this is good. Jay Peak is known to be similar, Whiteface, Cannon, Sugarloaf. It’s about knowing where to go, too. Use trails to get to woods. I don't know if it's the wide open, steeper pitches exposed to wind or what but there are definitely hills where trails seem firmer than others. If it requires winch grooming there’s a lot of skidding skiers and snow pushed downhill. I've never skied BW but from what I've seen from the base area, it looks pretty similar to Okemo.... and both are usually tops of the charts in snow quality. This is a different experience for sure than 2pm on Nosedive when the upper turns are blue ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
