On Sunday, Sunday River blasted some of the high trails with snow because the forecast was still calling for some mix/change up there when I hit the sack Saturday night. Result was some obscenely tough conditions for me anyway, but pretty cool and unpredictable skiing. they are looking at all snow 6+ again, we got 3-4 while we were there in the Saturday night system.

The lakes are all frozen versus 2 weeks ago. Ice houses are all over the place. Snowmobiling business seemed brisk too. Mountain was packed but not overly so. Conditions were great, lots of new snow.

Gotta love overunning..... It's 0 degrees here now with echoes headed my way for the pre-dawn

do you think this precip shield may dry out quickly i.e or take a while to saturate the BL....with winds staying light or n'rly for eastern sections (closer to HP) i wonder if areas west will get the heavy QPF IN the am. with winds initially more light southerly?

10.3/-3 here. Forecast is for 2. I don't see it.

You wont hit 2F at your exact house location, but probably down the hill a half mile will.

Their low forecast is an average low for an area. Its the same here. They'll forecast a low of 3F or something and I'll get down to 7F while it will get down to 0F just down the road in the more sheltered area.

Lol. Have them call Kevin.

lol. I want to send an email and be like "It will be snowing at 6am with the worst conditions around 11 followed by changing to ice and then rain in the afternoon." I'd be surprised if we have school. I geuss its smart to wait untill morning though, not as deffnitive as the less snow day.

Will, this little tidbit from the BTV caught my eye. Could this dynamic be in play along the east slope of the Berks as well? I remember several times when pl was forecast to mix in here but never did while the west side did see some mix.

SOME SELY UPSLOPE ENHANCEMENT CONTINUES LIKELY

INTO THE ERN SLOPES OF THE GREEN MTNS...WITH HIGHEST SNOWFALL

TOTALS EXPECTED THERE. UPSLOPE COOLING MAY ALSO LIMIT SLEET

PRODUCTION IN THIS AREA DESPITE WARMING ALOFT TO NEAR 0C.

Glad you had fun. Snow is life for many.

If its marginal enough near 0C in the mid-levels, then upslope flow can help to keep it a tad cooler to make the difference between IP/SN...though the effect in the Greens would be more than the Berkshires given the steeper rise in topography. But if its very close to sleet...then yeah, it can help a bit.

Every little bit helps.

Was very happy to see a brisk business for all snow sports in the area all the way down 26. Even the snow tube joint looked packed on the way out today.

Sunday River itself...hard to beat the family experience there. Really gaining an appreciation for the mountain as my skiing improves and I can safely navigate all the trails. Also got a taste of your upslope snows as it just kept snowing and snowing into Sunday morning even under partly cloudy skies as snow blew over the peaks on the winds.

Rock solid snow cover the entire trip yet again. Maine has quite a bit of snow aside of around Portland which doesn't seem to have much more than Plymouth. The area around Topsfield MA has a ton of snow.....just lots of snow everywhere kind of cool.

what happened in that event? IMO, the high looks to be in a more favorable position in that event.

Actually, the current HPC is the top image, which if you look at the 1997 surface chart on the eve of the 23 - left - they are nearly in identical position...

Not a perfect analog, but some similarities there...

Sweet bluebird day there today, must be awesome, tomorrow will be empty by afternoon, 45 run day if you can handle it,

I know--I was just making the observation as to how off the p/c lows are from mby.

But, I am down to 9,4
