Absolutely.

Nice bump north on the 3k

Kraft ignoring CT at the last second just like 30 years ago.

3k has a nice happy ending 

[HoarfrostHubb]

That’s not good here

[mahk_webstah]

Snow growth seems to be really really good, so I imagine the ratios are better than you might expect with these temperatures

Nam 0Z run?

Looked better than the 18z run with the happy ending down this way. Not expecting much but the 2-4" verbatim would be a win.

Snow, sleet here. Intensity has picked up

They can access it around there legally.  There's a path to get to the Alpine Mart/Mobil for gas.  They just can't travel on the Rec Path except for that stretch.  It is signed and I've never seen anything but super considerate behavior from any snowmobilers when encountering them with the dog.

Sleet mixing in with the rain in these heavier echoes... 35 degrees.

[dryslot]

Coming down now at a good clip with 28dbz rates and great snow growth, 27/25°F.

Tossing for no other reason than because I don't like what it shows for mby

And being neighbors, that would be great to see. 

PS, I can also confirm sleep mixing with the rain.. it's 34.2 here

Noticing that weather underground now has 5 to 8 inches overnight and 5 to 8 tomorrow. That is a pretty good increase from what was 3 to 5 inches for each period. At this rate, though we will have 5 inches shortly after midnight. I don’t know if we’re going to have this sort of snow growth all night but the radar looks fantastic.

A lot heavier snow than I was expecting here

Dumping snow with better growth right now. We’ll see how long this lasts…

Nam was toasty aloft tonight.  Definitely warmer than the hrrr 

Yea that was the warmest run yet. Looks like a lot of liquid here. Shocker.

Somewhere around DAW—>Hookset going to get all frozen on those caked trees though. Heavy wet snow/ice, throughout right where that 850 0c line makes its furthest progress north. Outages no doubt. They can keep it.

Back to all snow here.

I just meant that there is not a lot of snow to be riding on yet. It’s different on a bike path or on a railbed like the LVRT. Once you get in the woods though, it’s a different story. Just like woods skiing. You need more snow than on the groomed trails.

Sleet mixing in. CC washing out a bit, but living on borrowed time  30.8F 1.5"

You need a base.

I think 12k may end up little too warm, but I'm not expecting much else until 14-15z or so. Still 31F so well see how long it takes to get up to 32F.

Ahh gotcha!  I thought you meant what was allowed to ride on through here.  Sometimes the weekend crowd can get curious of different paths on a sled, ha.

Yeah they "groom" these spots almost daily in the winter, leads to a good packed down surface.  The spots with conifers are the worst, much of the snow up in the trees and not on the ground.

Classic diagonal snow/rain precipitation gradient for this type of marginal SWFE set up.  Hopefully lots of folks flip back tomorrow.

[wxmanmitch]

Moderate snow, 25.6° F. Looks like an inch or so down. I like where I stand for this one.
