Looks decent further north. Berkshire East, Snow and Magic looks like the places to be tomorrow.

Or even further north. Nice snow falling in the MRV. It snowed all day yesterday at MRG and they claimed 8-10. Another foot+ on the way today.

This is one of those seasons where the rich get richer. Glad we're not near the southern resorts. Looks like it's going to be a season-long battle in the ME areas. Maybe a banner year for NNE and upstate NY.

I know. That's sort of a given this year.

An absolute whiteout here with nearly 1" new snow and huge flakes. I guess we will go over to rain as NOAA is predicting

I'm hoping the mix line stays south of us. Or at least south of Sundown. So far so good.

I can hardly believe that Saddleback/Sugarloaf are going to get 15-20" + through wednesday morning.

WOW

Take that January thaw

New Year's Day: Periods of snow, mainly after 4pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 23. Southeast wind between 7 and 9 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

Tonight: Periods of snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 12. Wind chill values as low as -1. East wind between 8 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 10 to 16 inches possible.

Wednesday: A chance of snow showers. Cloudy, with a high near 13. Wind chill values as low as -8. North wind around 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

Already got the okay from the wife for a Saddleback/Sugarloaf trip next weekend if the weather holds for sunshine next weekend.

Still dumping here. Probably an inch and a half, but we just reached 32*F so I think it's only a matter of time...

We got dry slotted and now have VERY light flurries and still the same temperature at 33.3F with a strong east wind.

It's raining down in town and after I got gas and some groceries it's snowing at home.

I just got my driveway plowed with about 1.5" of snow.
