Thursday, March 12th, 2026 Weather Chases Me When you grow up on Cape Cod, you don’t really have to chase Weather, because it comes to you. From the time I was born here in 1963 Dad and mom told me I couldn’t stop staring up at the sky. The sun & moon, birds & clouds, stars & rainbows, it was all love at first sight. I started writing down the daily weather by about kindergarten. My life really changed in 1974 when the the Dennis Yarmouth school system sent the entire fifth g

Wednesday April 22nd, 2026 Hot out of the gate in November ~ Blasting through the finish line in May!We thought last winter was great. This winter was historic! Our already mountain wide quality base ~ a couple feet of dense snow ~ with powder on top ~ on opening day - before Thanksgiving! Each of those stats are historic.Then more snow just kept coming and coming. It looked like we'd never see an end to the accumulating snow. Sure there were a couple of mixed batches in ther

It’s a winter wonderland again here in the northeast kingdom of Vermont. Fat flakes over achieving all day Monday and another round Tuesday. Powder ski skiing for Wednesday. This front definitely over-achieved. It’s an arctic front April style with a wave of low pressure perfectly positioned to get us over the 400 inches for the season. It happens almost every spring here, looks like winter might be over and then all of a sudden it’s snowing again. And that is the case here b

It's been a dizzying array of up and down in the temperature and the wind department here lately. And sadly, it’s just down in the snow department. Thank goodness that we had a couple of wind shifts that resulted in snow preservation with the temperature going below freezing for the most part Wednesday night through Friday morning, before this latest warm-up. It all has to do with the position of high pressure and low pressure. When we get high pressure to our north, the air

Tuesday March 31, 2026 Given the flow, you would think I would find a way to sugarcoat the weather forecast.But that would be a cruel April Fools prank. The truth is Mother Nature has decided that this mid-week we do not have the best skiing of the week. That happened over the weekend and on Monday. Those days were above and beyond the call of the TK forecast. It was very cold to start off the weekend, that was good snow preservation. And then we got the sun to come out on

Friday March 20, 2026 Happy Vernal Equinox Dendrites! Just as the sun was right over the equator and winter turned into spring at 10:46 am today, it started snowing here again at Jay Peak Resort. And it's snowing hard! We have another overachiever on our hands. When I wrote the Tuesday blog, we were looking at maybe a few inches altogether by this weekend. Now we’re looking at double digits for the weekend. Double digit snowfall that is! Not only that, it’s 'good base mater

Tuesday March 17th, 2026 Where have we seen this before? Another Mother Nature Midnight Run at Jay Peak Resort. We went to bed Monday and it was mild and windy. We woke up on Saint Patrick's Tuesday and it was cold and windy. Similar to last Wednesday-Thursday, but this week it happened on a Monday-Tuesday and was less extreme in the rain and warmth department. Last week we picked up close to a foot of snow by the weekend. This week ... Um ~ Ahh … I’m not quite sure if we
