Looks like that map is completely wrong, the northern-most resorts in vermont will get more than the central one!!!

That map/radar is useless in storms like this. The warm air is well aloft, up around 5,000 to 10,000 feet and they have no way of measuring that and feeding it back into the radar data. We already know that Worcester is experiencing heavy rain, yet this picture would indicate that it's snowing to beat the band there. Take this thing with a grain of salt. Also, any forecast that still shows the jackpot as being in Central NE is produced by someone who loves the crack pipe.

This will be one hell of a storm....for Maine. I will weep when the fresh 7" at SB is covered by a frza/sleet crust. At this point, I don't care how much falls on the front end - I'm more concerned with how much falls after it changes back to snow. Most people skiing in the trees won't be touching any other layer.
