same here, although I don't think that snow is hitting the ground quite yet.

Probably not the leading edge in So. PA, but the stuff south of there must be...

Looks like a boat load of rain down here in Jersey

How about the skills

Anyone hear any reliable forecasts for southern VT tomorrow (friday)?

The key is what is it doing at the higher elevations. You know the old adage, weather in the mts. can be significantly different from the valley. For southern VT, Stratton has three weather stations, base, mid and peak. I would pay attention to those over the coming hours. You can actually see the stations from various Stratton ski lifts.

Summit, Stratton Mountain, VT

half way up Stratton Mountain, Bondville, VT

Base Area, Stratton Mountain, VT

thanks billski, i wasn't aware of those sites/weather stations. I'm hoping for a more detailed forecast tonight when the storm is upon us, so I can figure out where to go.

edit: greg that is one sweet avatar. always a sight for sore eyes to see that on the forecast page.

Hunter web site is calling for all snow

I hope that's correct

Where are you in Center City? I went to Drexel. (A million years ago...)
