Nothing you can do when it drops 30 degrees fast and goes from 40F to 10F. Unless you take a groomer out at 1pm, it’s just done for the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the opposite on Weds. started out the day with nice firm conditions with perfectly groomed trails. after lunch it got a little soft, then by 2pm when it was 50, it got mushy and not so fun. left a little early, but had a freebie ticket so I shan't complain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamarack Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 After the morning TS came 4.5 hours of essentially nothing. Very light snow started about 2:40 and looks to be about done, 0.1" new in 2 hours. We'll cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 I just got a message from the SpaceWeather.com that there was just a X2.2 class solar flare. Could be some nice Aurora sightings in the next couple of nights. No moon either if we can get rid of the clouds. The Starlink Satellites also go by at 6:11ish pm tomorrow night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcglups Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Solid thunder this morning, followed by a portfolio of falling things from rain to frozen to snow flakes, then the cold poured in for a quick freeze of all water, making for a crisp sunset walk through the trails, now in the mid teen's and feeling like winter.

borderwx Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Well, only an inch of sparkles fell. But, man those flakes did a nice job of making it feel like a true Feb day Pic may not capture the ice on the branches, and it may not be a perfect winter, but it hasn’t lost it’s flavor for adventure out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Spin Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 38 minutes ago, mreaves said: Winter Storm Watch hoisted by BTV. Yeah, I saw that I got a text alert about the Winter Storm Watch early this morning, and it looks like it covers all the BTV NWS County Warning Area. Graphically, it looks like we’re in the 8-12” and 12-18” zones here along the spine, and the point forecast has us at 8-14” through Thursday. There’s more snow in the forecast for Thursday night and Friday, but they’re not putting numbers to that yet, and it’s outside the Event Total Snowfall map anyway because that ends at 4:00 P.M. Thursday. It sounds like there are still potential adjustments to be done though, so we’ll see how the accumulations forecast changes over the next couple of days.
