AstronomyEnjoyer Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Rather robust icicle formation on the house today. Some of those suckers are already over 40 inches long. Not a great testament to 1980's insulation practices. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll definitely need to get used to it since REVs corner really well and flat I always thought, but once you do you'll wonder how you ever rode a REV chassis with the big advancements in suspension and ergonomics. I rode my 500ss 14,000 miles, bought a 2014 back when I graduated and kept the REV as a backup, sold it soon after cause I just couldn't ride it anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They CAD like nobody's business. I don't know much about Jay other than the few times I've been there and witnessed what they called 8" of snow that were really a dusting that my wipers could remove in about 2 strokes 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we call the mountain is Russell mountain about 6 miles west of Monson, extensive logging road and windmill road network that's interconnected over 1,000 feet of elevation, gets snow early and keeps it late, almost over to Moxie Pond near the Forks. Ton of fun messing around up there early season with multiple loop possibilities, only need a foot to make it fun and rideable without grooming 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Jay other than the few times I've been there and witnessed what they called 8" of snow that were really a dusting that my wipers could remove in about 2 strokes Relatively maybe, but often I noticed there's little snow to preserve there despite the CAD. Of course there are weenie spots in that area, too, but I was just talking Conway/North Conway in general. We used to stay in N. Conway at around 1200' fairly close to Cranmore, the snow pack (when there was some) was noticeably better than in-town below 1000' and surely 500', sometimes double or triple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to trend better in the next day or so or it’s junk. It does look decent for NNE. They may actually build a decent pack over the next week since some of the spots are going to get a solid net gainer on 1/10 too even though it eventually flips. Both of those systems would have been nice if they were weak vort maxes but these are both on ‘roids so they are able to overcome some initial confluence. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutters are hard for us, other than the fact that we still usually end up with decent cover from the follow up upslope. We’ve had some really “good” cutter for pack building but they seem to be a thing of the past. That said, GYX sounds optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But back to weather hope your basement stays dry, heck of a storm you had ..and let me add this, I hope no one here including you has any basement flooding issues or any water damage caused by a leaking roof. It is time consuming and expensive to repair. And there are a lot of dishonest contractors out there who take advantage of people....no one needs the aggravation of dealing with a water damaged home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s a decent high to the northeast, usually NNE will do well on cutters and sometime SNE gets in on the act. It’s the cutters that have no highs that are destructive to snow pack and that’s what December 18th had and last winter was the year with no highs to our north, lol. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this one is to the north east of us and retreating. Who knows, maybe they’ll be some subtle slowing or strengthening of the high and maybe the storm over the middle of the country won’t be quite as strong. GYX notes a slight cooling trend today in the models 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
