Does it always piss hot rain right before or on Christmas in eastern ski country or does if just seem that way?

A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
Looking at the radar....most of NH and VT are going to see INTENSE snowfall this AM. I think this storm is going to massively overperform just looking at temps and the radar. Especially in NH if they can stay cold. According to the report Stratton already has 6" down and there's at least 24 hours of precip left to come...even with mixing and light snowfall rates it would be realllll easy to get another foot, I think there'll be more.

This thread aged about as well as some of the Covid posts from mid-March....


Can't wait to start reading the threads about there being "too much snow", as it looks like Friday's storm will be another sizeable round of snow.

But it's true that Christmas is quite often a gigantic disappointment!

It will repeat itself next Christmas. Or if not, the next Christmas.

Talk about aging well!

No but the gloom/doom "winter is over", "historically bad", "worst winter ever" crowd was out in full-force.
But it happens every other year around Christmas time!

(probably more often than that, Christmas is simply not quite "winter" yet for many part of the northeast)

I always chuckle and move on. The record of latest start for me was Valentine's Day! After that year, nothing fazed me any more.

An ice storm could be in the making for parts of NH. Could be enough to take out the power grid...only time will tell.
