i shouldn't complain about this season, but knowing snow just got 25" in the past several days it hurts that niar is going to spoil the perfect condition.

It looks like it might not be quite as bad as earlier forecast. Yesterday they were saying 1/2" up here and now they're just saying light rain, ending this evening. Hopefully, we'll be spared a soaker and then just have one icy day before we get new snow.

It is 36 degrees at the summit of STratton at 1030AM.:???:

Sigh. That "one icy day" is the day I have all my green skiers on a family outing..... :(

Better that than your woods skiers from out west who you're trying to show off NE skiing to. The resorts will probably get their groomers out and make some lemonade out of all those greens.

60 degrees here in the flatlands. Driving around with the windows down. Snowpiles look like mudpuddles now.
Heading north to the land of snow and ice in 4 hours...

Looks like the warmup is just in time for my spring break... any chance of cold returning and some snow by next week? I want to ski powder, I get bored with trails unless they are soft bumps.

It was 63 in Boston today and the wind was so strong at one point it was cartoonish watching people fight to walk through it.
