Is that snow I see????!!!!

[thetrailboss]

Just looked at the Basin Ski Cam and it looks like there was some new snow on the top of the summit and Superstar :blink: I'm trying to save the image, but can't get a dialogue box. Anyone else seeing this on Sunday evening? It is really cold out here.

 

[thetrailboss]

Yes, it did snow on the summit of the higher peaks according to the Mt Washington Observatory.

TB, stop teasing us damnit, winter is over! :smash:

 

[thetrailboss]

We're getting April's weather in May: :roll:

 

[andyzee]

Yeah, I looked at that pic, my wife said it might just be frost considering it's like 28 degrees up there!

 

[Zand]

NECN said snow in the mountains and maybe even flurries in the monadnocks and worcester hills.

 

[ga2ski]

No snow here in Hooksett, but we had some crazy hail around 6 pm. It diddn't acculimate or last long enough for me to get out the skis.

Here's a snapshot of the cam:

Thanks Beano! :beer:

NP, yeah ... I couldn't get up a dialogue box either. Something to do with the java application they use for the cam, I assume.

The higher peaks here in the "Skillz" have a nice dusting of snow this AM...

Nobody makes solid outdoor plans until after Memorial Day here...

Snow at Mad River Glen

From the mornings Mad River Glen Snow Report:

OK, now the weather is getting really weird! We received a dusting of snow from Tower 8 (on the Single) on up. No, it is definitely not enough for us to crank up "Old Faithful", but I'm sure somebody will have to go carve up some late May "Powder Turns". This snow comes hard on the heels of two weeks of nearly non-stop rain. Too bad we didn't have all this moisture during the Winter, it would have been amazing!

We had about an inch or more of pea to nickel sized hail. There were also a couple microbursts in the area. It was rather scary here. My house was literally shaking.

a little hard to see, but it's there. Here's the view from Ellsworth Hill Road, Campton NH

Mount Washington this afternoon with blowing snow at the summit:

 

[kbroderick]

I got a few turns in yesterday after work, and the 1.5-3" of fresh, wet stuff made the difference between 8 or 10 turns where there was actually leftover manmade and skiing roughly half the hill. I did get a few odd looks, though, when I came back in with my helmet and googles on and my skis in hand.
