It has been bizarre. Yesterday, my wet hair froze into a helmet when I left the house. By evening, no coat necessary.

The rain has done some damage to our snow here in the yard.

The good news is that we should be coated in white again by this afternoon. If we can get that big storm tomorrow, we should be well ahead for the week.

Snowing and 32F on Sterling Summit @Smugglers Notch

Idael scenario for ski area locals. A dump, and no one can drive here from down south.

You just watch.

Rain, rain go away. Come back as snow another day.

(this afternoon works too )

Look at that rain/snow line just ripping across west to east. Still a lot of green there as of now, but that line isn't messing around...

If you looks closely you can see some pink mixing in at elevation on some frames here. Sweetness.

Still rain here at the moment, although I stepped outside and it's much colder than just an hour or two ago. I looked at MRG's web site and wow, they took a massive hit overnight. The rain was bad enough, but we also had fierce winds all night long.

We had pretty good snow cover in the yard yesterday and now it's mostly grass, except for the woods and the piles left by the plows.

Still snow in my yard, but we got alot of rain. Still 25 inches at the stake on Mansi...and it's now snowing....calling for 4-8 for the bush today and tonight....tomorrow should be descent again!

What ridiculous weather this week. Had lows earlier this week right around 0 here in Plymouth. Was just above 15 degrees yesterday at noon, and currently is 57. Theres a crazy strong front approaching from the west, and we're under a winter storm watch (while its 57 degrees haha) for Thursday night and Friday where the NH mountains could see 12"+. Definitely one of the crazier weeks of weather up here that I've seen in a while.

This week hands down confirms the classic New England weather addage "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes!"

I wonder how the snowpack is holding up in Northern Vermont...rain, wind, warmth and fog..yikes..things are looking good in Warp Daddys neighborhood.

MRG spoke rather plainly this morning, "[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][FONT=Comic Sans MS,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif]Needless to say we lost a bunch of our snow pack. If we can pick up some snow today and some more on Friday we will certainly push to open up on Saturday. "[/FONT][/FONT]

Josh Fox is not too keen on next week either.

Thank you. May I have another, SIR?

I am only half-glad I'll be watching skiing and boarding flicks tonight....

Wow it looks like MRG might have a tough time opening before Christmas..

Looks like the snow just dipped down into the MRV. Any first hand observations?

Looking good at Stowe..

PM KingM he's in it...

Still very cold rain on the valley floor as of 12:50. Seems like it's trying to transition to sleet, but not yet.

 

[Moe Ghoul]

It's only 1PM, sounds like most of the damage is done, so better reports should be rolling in by sundown. Hope it turns from to

My hope is that we lay down a few inches tonight to overcome most of the damage, then pack on top a nice dump of two feet tomorrow and we'll be ahead for the week.

It's frozenish here now. Sleety. The bare spots are not yet white.
