With an upper level low close by to the northeast, it could set up N VT/ N NH areas with good upslope next weekend! I could see gradual, light accumulations...we'll certainly be keeping tabs on it!
Keep us posted!

Can jump on any good snow from Wednesday on. And the weekend is slated for skiing also.

It was frigging boilin' in Central Joisey this weekend. Eighty freaking degrees on saturday. not a frozen particle to be seen.

Good to be back in Mass tonight seeing some tundra in the shade. Up north looks good for the coming week.

Maybe we need a new thread for the weather going forward...

Almost sure I'm done for the season (yes it's a bit early but other stuff is starting to take priority), but I still like to see that winter is hanging on up north.

Not sure what happened here (isn't today the 21st?) but I was in Arizona for a wedding all weekend and following Winn's forecast did NOT have me expecting the 5-6 inches of fresh snow I drove into this afternoon as I got into Wilmington. I skied the last hour before the lifts closed and it was misting some light frozen stuff with light snow interspersed, and there was at least 3-5 inches of snow on the ground everywhere with no crust that I could find.

Winn what happened? Missed the boat on this one a little bit. Wunderground.com had it right with their 4-8 inches of total accumulation I guess.

Wow, thanks for your enthusiastic reply....:-o

If you're talking about Mount Snow, the mixing line stayed a little further south, sure (fcst updated earlier today to reflect that), but we still had a few inches in the forecast the whole time (Mount Snow reported 3" an hour ago on Facebook...a "little" under 4-8 that the other site would have you believe")...not THAT far off from the 5".

Pic is from Mount Snow. Their Facebook remark an hour ago: "Mount Snow: It snowed all day brotha! 3"!"

If anyone "missed the boat", I'd say the 4-8" site.

Would really appreciate any reports from Mt Washington Valley area tonight - my sense from what sources I could find is 2-4" as of maybe 7 p.m. but the radar has looked pretty good the past couple hours, storm hanging on there? Trying to decide what (if anything) to do tomorrow.

Not exactly the MWV, but up in Berlin, NH there was 4" as of 9PM and snowing lightly.

Winn, I agree, you have been very accurate with your predictions all year, that is why it was off note/why I was surprised when I drove into it. My memory of your prediction was for no real accumulation or maybe a dusting, with snow levels staying above the summit. I didn't see something like 1-3 inches, otherwise 4 or 5 inches wouldn't have surprised me. I also didn't see any discussion of a mixing line, but I can tell you that we had only a very small amount of any kind of mixing (it was in the wee hours last night). And I can tell you that 4-8 inches was correct, as I had 6 all around my condo that I shoveled and drove through before the plow got here. The mountain underreported or somehow we got more here at the base!
