It sucks, Some can say what they want, But this was a grinch event whether you have snow or not, We lost all the other elements of winter that we already had.

This was 100% a grinch.

[WxWatcher007]

I still think it’s a little too far out to be called a grinch, but obviously if the grid is down through Christmas it’s a grinch lol.

Best of luck up there Maine crew.

There’s a small signal for a little snow on 12/24 in sne.

How are things up your way?  Did you lose 100%?  Just some parking lot piles left around here in the valley. We got skunked last storm here at 284’ with a paltry 0.9”.

Wrong guy. He lives in CT. I will say that we’ve lost everything at 1250’ in Barre Town.

Grinch for you guys, it looked good the last week. Maybe a hail Mary can save you this week.

Yeah. @das it’s good to hear from you though! Long way from my time in DC. I’m good, just working all the time. I’m in CT now, where I only have two T’s on the season so far haha. Hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday.

yup, the anomalous ridge over central Canada forces confluence and leads to cold air crashing in. a rare setup, but it's viable if the GFS is correct with the amplitude. my bet is no, but it's worth watching for sure with an amped pattern like that 

better chances likely come afterwards

Would love to see this. Pinwheeling around each other.

Might as well break the spell and end a shitty year with something fun and borderline anomalous.

Yeah, it just kind of sits and rots, everyone gets in on the game by the end.

We know the odds are low but a hard shuffle and a new dealer can get the cards hot again.

There have been so many anomalous events why not have one that we actually want?  Please Santa?

Kind of all over the place Christmas week. Hopefully we can pull something.

Good morning everyone. Rather than DIT’s explicit suggestion, perhaps, another suggestion……stay well and hopeful, as always …..

 

[STILL N OF PIKE]

Saw some mountain ops posts this am around New England that convey desperation , hope , and patience . 
 

Jay peak probably acted like they got a rogue shower and mounds of snow are imminent lol . Tim Kelly does a decent JB impression on his forecast there sometimes

Many are closed today which seems prudent 
 

They need a snower badly before the new year 

Attitash got six inches of rain , can’t imagine Wildcat even has the resources to fix much fast there as all the condo rentals for holiday week @ Attitash may demand they use resources there (Wildcat is in middle of national Forrest and has no condos )

My guess is there are going to be higher risk of serious accidents by folks who don’t gauge the conditions well and the mountain will usually say “varied conditions / frozen granular) instead of icy death on some trails
