Sounds like Jay is getting the goods

3-5" overnight, still snowing, expecting 4-6" more by Tuesday per Roger Hill

Well, I hope some of that finds its way down south to Bolton Valley. I just purchased tickets from Liftopia for Sun 12/13.

Happy to hear that given that we have that 3.5 day trip up there starting the 17th. I'm sure glad I took that week rather than this past week for the EICSL trip.

Bottom line – very good news – for boarders and riders with amounts of over two feet not out of the question by Saturday

Funny that roger hill calls ski'rs at Jay riders.... those pow ski's are so wide
basically two snowboards.....

Some of the goods not liking the word sleet in there though...

Windy, with a east wind between 18 and 26 mph, with gusts as high as 47 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow and sleet accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible.

yeah wintry mix much less of a risk farther N/E. Sugarloaf could end up the crowned champion from this one, but wind effect could be severe. Whatever, I'm thinking anything short of out-and-out rain is good, to build base this time of year.

Jay could get lake-effect followup too though my understanding is central VT is better situated for that.

One concern I have is wind mucking up the woods with blowdown. Snow snake population explosion.

I'm about 15 minutes from Sunapee @ 1,100'. We've got 9" in our driveway already. Deeper where the wind is piling it up.

How's the moisture content?

:lol: I love how now it's time to critique the density of the snow.

I'm just not picky with my powder...

35 straight days of 75 degrees and i'd take anything even semi-frozen falling from the sky.

I dont even care if it changes to rain all the way to the north pole, it's still a net gain.

provided it sticks around, and it looks like it will.

You almost need some mixing now to get some base snow down in the woods, and also help keep the snow piled up to withstand the winds forcasted for the next 48 or so hours. Light fluffy stuff + 48 or so hours of high winds will get alot of almst bare ground in the wind exposed areas and then some thick wind slabs in other.

Best thing for the NEXT storm would actually be a couple of hours of sleet/mix at the end to preserve this snow fall where it fell, not where the wind deposits it.

Plenty of base down down, let's keep it soft and pile it on. I think everyone in NE is getting the goods. Who will have the goods tomorrow, THAT is the question. Today was as good as skiing gets.
