He’s already worried about his hibiscus.

I certainly could be wrong…but I feel an average winter here is possible. And a big coastal is indeed possible with the large amount of time that’s left.   So we’ll see at the end of March. 

Definitely not impossible to recover and salvage average snowfall, but at this point the probability is higher that we finish with a below average snow season than an above average one. The issue is many areas are a foot or more BN and the long range looks fairly dry. I don’t like that we are approaching mid Jan in a modoki La Niña (which are usually frontloaded) with barely any snow. I was optimistic a month ago, but whiffing on both the 1/6 and 1/11 threats isn't good. Oh well, it sucks but it is what it is. Hopefully I am wrong and we get buried in the second half of winter. Regardless, at least its been cold enough for the ski resorts to make snow.

From a friend at about 3,000ft today between Stowe and Smuggs on the Snuffies/Sterling Pond trail.

6-8 foot drifts filling the trail between the trees after 3 days of 50-80mph winds.

That’s what Weymouth used to look like.

Happy Birthday @powderfreak

Great snow growth tonight. About 2” in the last 3 hours

It had been dry. And if it continues into Spring, esp. pack/runoff, there will be concerns

Hoping we can come around to a day 9-10 Miller B look.

And this is why the lift connecting Smuggs and Stowe is needed.
