Straying from what has become the norm over the past few years, much of the Northeast now has a solid snowpack, and it'll look to stick around. Seasonably cold temperatures are in the forecast for the next few days.

At the Mt. Mansfield snow stake, where I like to track snow depth, we're still playing catch-up, though things are trending in the right direction. The current snow depth at the stake is 41 in. when average is 53 in.

This was a long duration storm that impacted virtually all locations in the Northeast. It'll be interesting to see how things trend as we continue through the rest of winter.
