According to radar, Rutland is about to get overrun by the pink->green stuff. Sadly, we're only an hour or two behind, if things keep progressing northward.

We've had snow here for a coupla hours. Looks like by the time the rain gets here, there won't be much of it left so hopefully we gain again. Tomorrow could be some soft snow skiing before it freezes tomorrow night. Cold temps return for the w/e...

i got about half an inch today and it just turned over to rain an hour ago. all of it is just slush right now. on a good note i just went to go pick up my new skis!

We ended up with a lot of sleet and freezing rain today. The temps were hovering around 32/33 all evening.

 

[Justin10]

already changed to sleet, unfrozen to follow shortly....not looking good for the NH area as of now...

 

[Johnskiismore]

Still snowing lightly here, but it is pretty wet, and the temperature has gone up a little

 

[Johnskiismore]

Now it's mostly sleet..... just gotta sharpen the edges more!

In Burlington, 10 minutes to midnight, I hear the taunting sound of freezing raindrops hitting my skylight. Sounds like maybe some sleet in there as well. Don't know how the higher elevations are doing, but the interstate was a nightmare about 4 hours ago.

Why? This is another good base building storm. Sleet is great this time of year.

We got a wet trace of snow and mostly rain in the Route 7 corridor.

Left Sunday River at about 7:00PM last night.

It had just started snowing there. Was all snow all the way down to Gray before it started mixing and finally changed over... Looking at the radar, it looks like it stayed all frozen up there (did go to some ice/sleet for a while though). Should be great for base building for SR... Some rain probably this afternoon, but should be a decent net gain for this time of the year.

Any update from anyone at or near Mt.Snow? I know it was snowing pretty good yesterday afternoon around 3ish. It stayed all snow until we got to about Greenfield MA.

Well in Plymouth we topped out at maybe a hair above an inch of snow before the changeover. Ill be heading up to Loon later and maybe they got some more. Plus, anytime it snows goin into the night, I wanna wake up to absurd amount of pow in the morning. Seeing rain sucks.

By dark it had changed to rain. We got maybe an inch of snow prior to the rain. It's mid 40s and bright sun right now, so this little warmup's gonna wind up being a net loss for us. No worries, though...good snowmaking temps are coming back soon and the open trails will get resurface, a bit of expansion will happen (exhibition/lodge on the way next maybe?) and then we'll get that December natural snow (I hope!)

Thanks Euler! I always appreciate your updates! I just can't get that kind of info from the National Weather Service, or the Mt. Snow snow report. It's great to hear from someone who's right there. :beer:

 

[thetrailboss]

I think this was another bust....

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

alot of interesting stuff out there in the DEC 6-8 and DEC 9-11 ranges

 

[loafer89]

Some of the longer range computer models are showing a pattern setting up of a ridge in the east and a trough in the west with Great Lakes cutting storms for Mid-December. This would spell more of the same weather that we just had.

Interestingly NOAA is predicting a colder than normal December for the Northeast.
