First Snowfalls, Upcoming weather and Storms of winter 2024-2025. Storm (snow totals), Observations and Predictions?

[Zand]

Do the Whites ever get the jackpot in a major snow event? Seems like it's only ever leftovers from storms that hit either the Greens or Maine first.

There's a reason NH resorts don't do nearly as well as the Vermont resorts or SR/Loaf as far as attendance and revenue go.

VT (particularly from Killington north) also has the added advantage of orographic enhancement.

Also I should add, as far as major snow events go... Vermont's ski areas are mostly right in the spine of the greens and there's no shadowing there. Most of New Hampshire's ski areas are smaller mountains in the shadow of Mt Washington and Mt Lafayette.

Nh gets the coastal storms like maine. Wildcat most years get legit snow. Cannon and bretton woods get Vermont leftovers.

Wildcat some years has the best snow in NE. Matters which way the storm comes.

So far, a very narrow band has set up that is all of 20 miles wide or so. Pretty much goes from the 90/87 intersection south of Albany, then straight over Mt Snow, and then onto Laconia (maybe over Ragged?). It could move around a little bit, but it has been pretty steady for a couple hours.

Something that bears watching.

I told my wife today this is the first time I felt like it was the east since we lived here. It reminds me of winter from NJ to VT where I actually did feel cold.

Hopefully southern VT did alright, storm is a bust in central MA. 2.5" and doesn't look like much more to come.

Will head to Magic for opening since I already made a reservation and paid for RFID but prepared to go to Mt Snow in the afternoon (probably when free parking goes into effect lol) if they aren't dropping ropes.

Park City was actually quite nice. It was -1 at 8:35 when I got there, but with absolutely no wind & not a cloud in the sky. The cold really kept people away. Longest lift line may have been 3 or 4 minutes.

I found yesterday to be not that cold.

The news got a hold of the cold because it was gonna be really cold in dc for the inauguration and the arctic chill was dipping super far south. But interior New England was kinda just … normal. My car said 14 at the base of stratton. The sun was bright and strong.

I added a cotton sweatshirt (really against my fabric principles) on top of my “cold day set up” of comical levels of base layers. I was fine. I actually wanted to ditch a layer but didn’t wanna go back to the car so I toughed it oit

Have skied colder days this year. December 20-22 was frigid as fuck

The sun yesterday made it feel warmer and at Black there was not any wind which made all the difference.

My only cool feelings came from working up a sweat skiing powder woods and then being a little moist on a shaded chairlift

 

[KustyTheKlown]

I will say that once I got home, wearing just regular clothes (one base layer pant, t shirt, jeans, sweatshirt, ski jacket), walking the 2 blocks from my parking lot to my apt building was brutally uncomfortable. Nighttime city wind cold hits different

 

[slatham]

Sun and little wind even at 10 is warmer than cloudy and howling at 25!

A little inversion at Winter Park this morning. -15 at the base and a toasty -11 at the summit.

 

[snoseek]

Yesterday was a good cold midwinter day. Not uncomfortable if you dressed right. Today is colder so I'm out. Might ski tomorrow, might do the girlfriend maintenence thing so I can justify skiing four days next week

Black is such an oasis of warmth on a cold day. I dream of a wildcat/black pass.

Now that im at the point of needing a new right knee...i don't mind taking some days off.
Cold front appears to be gone now.
