If you were at Sugarloaf right now....

[snowman]

...you could actually blow something that somewhat resembled snow, base to peak, if you really wanted to. 26F RH weighted at the base at this exact moment.

And check the forecast discussion from GYX tonight

WITH GOOD
RADIATIONAL COOLING TONIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL VARY GREATLY BETWEEN
THE VALLEYS AND RIDGE-LINES...WITH AROUND A 10 DEGREE DIFFERENCE
JUST FROM TOPOGRAPHIC DIFFERENCES

So base to peak right now? you sure? where did you get the summit temp from?

I think that might be site specific to Mt. Washington. It's 39F in Kingfield and 25.5F at the base of the Loaf right now. I do not have access to a summit temp, but one would assume that it's colder where there's such a difference between Kingfield and the mountain base.

I thought you said the humidity is never this low in the fall???? Hi Frosty

 

[bobbutts]

So you went to weather.com and got the temp for Kingfield and subtracted 3 degress per thousand feet to guess the temp at Sugarload elevation? lol

No, I got the readings from the weather station at the base. It got down to 21.4 at 7 am. I got the reading for Kingfield itself from Accuweather.

Never this low? It was at 100% from 11 pm on at the Loaf last night. That's low??

 

[bobbutts]

I wish more mtns would make their weather stations available online. They all have them already for lift ops and snowmaking.

True and even if there was still snow, it'll probably get rained out tomorrow. But then the cold kicks in!

Is that left axis supposed to be altitiude?

 

[bobbutts]

Is that left axis supposed to be altitiude?

Yes, it's millibars which corresponds roughly to elevation. It goes up and down based on sea level pressure so depending on that x mb can be a range of elevations.
