Hopefully it is 67. We've been in prison since 12/1. I know you've had the upslope orgy.

It is crazy the differences.  I also don’t think people up here realize how lucky we’ve been too.  Everyone talking about “finally an ol’ fashion winter” and I’m thinking we haven’t seen a synoptic snow in like a month and are only surviving because of orographic or mesoscale stuff.  It’s been very tenuous but has worked out to date.

Right, ask the people in North Conway about finally having a good winter.  Hasn’t happened in Pinkham Notch.

A very deep winter at 48…

Point is, that warmth won’t be what everybody wants with a 68…but it’ll be a 48 instead.  Not that 48 is cold…but it won’t give everybody what they want with the big 68.  Seems this winter won’t give what folks want. So in this example, it won’t give the real big warmth. It’ll give a toned down version of what you see there.

As much as I don't want this to be true, it will probably work out exactly like this.

Just ran into an old friend at the gas station 15 minutes ago in Stowe, his first words were “You must be stoked we are having a good old winter finally with cold and snow”…. right after getting back from BTV where my wife was commenting on the grass blades showing and how little snow there was.

If you live in the orographic bubble, the perception is wildly different from outside of it.  Locally folks seem oblivious to what’s going on regionally.

Ales always does well unless it's a raging cutter. N Conway depends on synoptics for snow. No synoptic storms, no snow for them.

Yeah, like that guy in the ski thread who vacationed there recent at one of Alex’s properties and said they woke up every morning to the car covered in fresh snow.

It has been amazing to me the lack of synoptic snowfall or even precip events.  It hasn’t rained or snowed synoptically in a long time.

I guess tomorrow is synoptic but there’s an orographic assist too.  Been a while since just straight mid-level lift producing precip.

It’s a complete Stein pattern with no end in sight
