in some cases yes, but the big dump in feb where 60-65 inches fell over 5 days (i was there), vermont got a bit less and it turned to glue there as temps rose and the loaf stayed cold enough to keep it dry. and then there's the late season preservation. the loaf had 50 trails open in late april where the most at any area in vermont was maybe 25% of that.

it all balances out.

That's kind of revisionist history. Killington got 5+ feet. I'm at 2000 feet and I had 5 feet in my yard. The mountain had more. The wind got at it so it was extremely wind packed but it never turned into glue. If Killington saw that much wind, I can only imagine what the main face of Sugarloaf was like.

actually, the loaf didn't see as much wind out of that one (no wind holds either) and friends in northern vermont said the snow got very wet later in that storm. looks like killington stayed colder too.

That may well be the understatement of this board's entire history! 8) :lol:

And yet to apparently continue to not just read his posts, but comment on how long and tiring they are to get through. Interesting...

Are you referring to me or Tony?
I actually don't read any of J's weather posts or TRs - I just look at the pictures.
