Or you need the Quattro to drive 30 miles further north.

I wish, i was pushing for Smuggs, but decided a 7-8hr car trip with the 2 little ones is pushing it for 2 days....already have the 1.5yr old signed up for daycare and the 4yr old in ski school at Bromley...staying at Johnny Seesaws......will be taking the Armada on this trip, need the DVD with wireless headphones for the 2 in the back (4hr trip from LI)....the Audi doesnt have DVD...yet!!

Ascutney is south and east and doesn't have the highest base elevation because its a free-standing mountain. I'd wait the storm out and see what happens because if it does remain all snow that would be a great place to hit. The forecast is for 6-12 but there may be some sleet mixing in at times which would be nothing more than ice pellets but I don't know how that would ski.

APPEARS ENOUGH WARM AIR WILL WORK ITS WAY INTO THE COAST AND
ADJACENT INLAND AREAS TO CHANGE OVER THE SNOW TO A MIX OF SLEET
AND/OR RAIN OR FREEZING RAIN FOR A PERIOD FRIDAY AFTERNOON...BUT
NOT BEFORE DUMPING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SNOW. COLD AIR DAMMING
WILL ONCE AGAIN PLAY A MJR ROLE IN KEEPING THE COLD AIR IN PLACE
AS THE COASTAL FRONT SHOULD STAY JUST OFF THE COAST EXCEPT ALONG
THE MIDCOAST AREA WHERE IT MAY BRIEFLY MAKE ITS WAY A FEW MILES
INLAND. IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS 1 TO 2 FEET OF SNOW SHOULD
