WCAX is calling for 10-20".

Hope you're not flying JetBlue...

Hope the ride up to Stowe won't be a disaster on Sat morn. I do have ALL day to get there though.

Of course I'm flying Jet Blue lol. At least they are re-booking everyone free of charge. We may just have to postpone our vacation by a few days. It just stinks when you've had the trip planned months in advance and are looking forward to it to have to wait a few more days. Going to pop over to the airport after work to see what they can do for us.

It's not suppose to leave here until sometime tomorrow afternoon. Hope you are not flying Jet Blue because I heard they cancelled a bunch of flights this morning.

You have my sympathies...

Its a shame about what they are going through. I flew JetBlue on my last business trip and really liked it.

Just to follow through on this thought, our hour by hour temperature forecast for the summit stays below 20 degrees through noon on Saturday, so we're definitely counting on the elevations to keep this a snowstorm. Even base temps tonight when the storm is heaviest are in the 12-16 degree range. One blogger on AccuWeather.com said snow around this time could fall as rapidly as 3 inches an hour!

I think wherever people are going to enjoy this late season blast, getting ahead of the snow will be key. Leave early and drive carefully.
