Storm Speculation Mar 30-Apr 1st?

[thetrailboss]

Radar is shownig some green over SoVT.. I hope that its not really r*^ninguke:

Snow is in Rutvegas.

Sunapee is reporting 8". I'm 15 miles northwest of there and we've only got 3".

 

[wa-loaf]

Sugarloaf is reporting 10 and still dumping.

 

[Angus]

just check the wildcat website..."With 10" and snow still falling when the last chair loaded Friday, this "winter" storm is delivering the goods."

Awesome! Just taking a look at the AZ Summit pics--I've GOT to get up there next year!

AlpineZone Summit 3.0, i'm sure there'd be a line of people buying you a beer at the party.:beer:

Cannon has 6-8 when I left at 2pm and is was still coming down hard.

Loon says they have received 4" as well.... where they got the 4" I do not know! This storm is going to be a bust. At least in this part of the region

Cannon says 6". Bull Shit. I was there today. Four inches TOPS. Still quite nice and we had a good day. But their snow reporting this year continues to reflect a longer ruler than reality. 237" season total my ass. Biggest April Fool's Day joke I have seen in quite some time!

Looks like Maine got the goods! Hopefully it won't get too warm tomorrow. Manking is definitely a concern.

well over a foot at Burke!

Mount Snow got 4 to 6, maybe. Big disappointment from what we were expecting (and made the drive for). Decent day, but ended early - my legs were tired from pushing the heavier stuff around, the boys found the terrain park quality dropped by early afternoon. Terrain park was good early, not so later. North Face was decent but bumps still hard, but at least fresh snow to push around. Trees were ok, but lots of debris from past ice storm. Didn't go very deep into the Trials, what I skied was ok. PDF woods were ok. Sap Tapper - I was totally in awe of the damage they had! Incredible how many trees were broken and down. I don't ski the woods fast or hard - I meander, which was critical in there today to avoid all the debris. Groomers skied best. Snow that fell was not cement, but not the really light powder of past storms. Had more resistance to it and it covered hard packed crud. Snow softened in the early afternoon.

Not raining in West Dover. Keeps snowing (flurrying) off and on. The snow that did fall, is melting quickly at the condo. Parking lot is a mud pit.

Talked to my ski patrol friend @ Cannon an hour ago and she says 3-4"

It was at least 6 under the Cannonball quad when I skied it at 1:30. Down was less, but not much. Weird thing was it was bare ground past Thornton , it was snow covered this morning. Then snow covered again around Concord.

I cannot prove it, but I've long believed that there is a special, cruel place in Hell for fraudulent snow reporters.

The weird thing is that Cannon has historically had very accurate snow reporting and sometimes even under reporting. I have always held Cannon in high regard for accuracy in snow reporting. Today was the second time this season that I believe they really missed the mark. Two inches does not seem like much but that is 50-100% fluffing the number between 4 to 6-8".

I'm going to let it melt...

About 2-3 inches near Nashua...heavy snow, been outside trying to get it off of the trees over the driveway. Kiddos are delayed going to school. Hope the mountains got more.

Glad I didn't take out the snowblower. My driveway was perfectly fine today upon my return from work.

Not sure Scotty. I seem to have a different take on snow/ski conditions than many on the board. I'm curious to see what Mt Snow does with what they got today and what the weather brings for Saturday. There was also talk of wind and possible wind holds. There is lots of base - saw very few bare spots; 40's and sun on Sunday would definitely soften things up.
