The Jay cloud, Bolton Valley is 165"

We’ve measured 125” on Mansfield at this plot:

IMG_7651.jpeg.4af6c3fb38ded98d898c6f7a4d1973cd.jpeg

Bolton stands out big around here… from south to north:

Jay Peak… 187”

Smugglers Notch… 122”

Stowe… 125”

Bolton Valley… 165”

Mad River Glen… 109”

Sugarbush… 126”

Now, I’m not going to call anyone out but I will list the resorts who make note that they are actually measuring snow at set locations, have live cams on a snowstake or occasionally share photos of a constant location with a measuring device… Sugarbush, MRG, Stowe, Smuggs.

Infer what you want from that information.  There are two ski areas that I have never seen any proof of actual standardized measuring going on.

All this beady-eyed frenetic tapping and clicking on these model runs for a futile lost cause ... haha. It strikes me as the seen in "Princes Bride,"  whereupon Count Rugen was admiring the pain he caused and as Wesley above all else still rises to his feet, ... Rugen says, "Good heavens!  Are you still trying to win?"

There has been a lot of consistency on this non-event event. Something to check the confirmation bias. I guess it's not a very complicated system though.

I want to have enough snow to go sledding with the kids first thing saturday morning. We are on the line of that being possible... you need a decent amount with fluff. Small accumulations and big stakes for the kids. There are more sleds in my basement than we have had inches of snow this season.

Firstly the Euro Weeklies is up to the user for inclusion in any outlook ... I wouldn't fwiw.

Secondly, the flow structure paints a different picture than the color distribution - I would hope Allan takes that into consideration ... but I don't know.

I don’t disagree with Alan. Frankly that ridge seems weak and transitory. Looks like the Pacific jet will eliminate any cold after a few days in February.

Well, if February falls though I will start fading by that point and shifting to fantasy baseball, anyway. I'm exhausted by all of the hand-wringing and writing the past several years for what has amounted to very little winter.

Ready to just say "fuc k it" and hope a high-ACE La Nina changes things next year....this would make six consecutive well below normal snowfall seasons for me.

Doesn’t mean it’s cancelled, but that EPO ridge looked better a few days ago.  Maybe we can catch a break for once and have a fun stretch next week and be on the good side of the boundary. You probably have the best shot of all of us. :lol:

The last several years, what can go wrong, goes wrong....if we get blocking, you'll hear "More useless blocking, the Pacific is king".....and if we get a decent Pacific "Well, we don't have blocking"....and seemingly either side ends up winning the golden dildo award and rams it right up my sphincter and out my ear.

I have never, ever in my 43 years-two months and two days, seen such an atmospheric clinic in how to not snow these past 7 years and I lived through the 1980's.

If the 80s were this bad, I would have fuc king strangled myself with one of those long, multi colored tube socks and some unfortunate and underpaid teacher would have happened upon me out on the playground.

Time to just lock myself in a rubber room, watch Sesame Street and wear a ripped Larry Bird T-shirt that's about 3 sizes too small.

Man, I need a break.

LOL I wouldn't go that far. Maybe we do a Jan 05 and be on the good side while the country torches.

About time we do that anyway. Been enough seasons recently where it’s cold out in the plains and Rockies while we furnace.

This is what is driving me nuts....just one frigging break. There has to be one coming. And yes, I realize I lucked out earlier this month....I am talking about on a regional level over the course of an entire season in the aggregate. The coast has caught some breaks during this shit several year, stretch, too.

Yeah we haven’t had a winter (or even a weeks-long pattern) in a while where we kind of sit in a more favorable spot than the middle and western part of the country. We’ve frequently been the worst.

We definitely have. But man I'm crying Uncle at this point.
