A bit unsettling with more rain coming… Saw that earlier today driving to Franconia. Didn’t look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 20” or so at 2500 feet. Pretty solid winter conditions. This shot is incredible. Such cool topography, and dominated by rock/pitch that doesn't like to hold soil. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Greens, Whites and ADKs are different within a pretty close proximity to each other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 36 now. Next couple days look warm and wet. We will see how much snow I have left after this. What a change from early month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The New Hampshire 48 is going to take awhile to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cloudy so I didn’t get a great picture but it was beautiful still. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 33 at 7:30 PM. Solid torch. Gonna be a total snow pack reset here before the end of the week storm, I think. Maybe a little snow left but not much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we whiff on the "epic pattern" being talked about and then torch again later in the month, not sure how spring skiing can work aside from some ribbons of death stuff. Natural trails are already mostly shut down over here, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pack after the 8 Feb event was about 30". Then it dropped into the mid to upper 20s after a few day torch mid month (forgot the exact dates), then the last cutter decimated it. Hours of rain at 60 will do that. Pretty much looks like early Dec out there. Based on my drives around the area and skiing no one is really doing much better than I am, in NH at least. I don't think things are too hot in VT either, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't ideal, ha. I've got just 5-6" too, with areas under evergreens starting to show grass blades along the Rec Path. The spots where all the snow gets hung up in the trees. Snow seems water-logged after today's above freezing temps. It's ready to melt when it starts raining. I saw J.Spin was still sporting 11" this morning, the Spine axis gets the precip around here. Up by the mountain it's so varied that there are south facing areas going bare and northeast facing spots with a few feet of depth. I'm sure it's just as variable over there.

powderfreak Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Not an ideal headline map. Maybe some freezing drizzle/rain, followed by rising waterways. Cold air this evening funneling down the Champlain Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great guy he can probably direct you on where to do stuff in Lewiston Oh yea, looking forward to hitting Thompson and others. I'm getting bored of drop-shotting 30-50' and staring at a screen from June-October in the Quabbin anyway. After 5 years of light spinning gear and 6lbs line getting back into flipping grass and fishing fast last July-November with heavy rods and big braid was too much fun.

tamarack Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Still have 17" at the stake and will likely have a foot or more remaining when/if the snow arrives late week. Walked the dog thru our woodlot on the sled trail and she was only sinking an inch or 2 when wandering outside the groomer path. I sampled the snow off trail, got about 20' while sinking 3-4" then dropped past mid-calf, requiring a retreat. My weight has dropped 25 lb over the past 3 years - eating less - but I'm still well above 200, so our pack is really solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted February 22, 2022 Author Share Posted February 22, 2022 CAD works fine here unless I have stiff south winds. There are plenty of examples from the past two winters of me staying frozen when Gorham down through coastal Maine turned to rain on E/NE/SE winds. That last cutter was just the perfect setup to roast me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
