6" on the ground already this morning, and more expected today on top of the 4-6"yesterday and we had us a nice little POWDER DAY TODAY! The new moist snow coupled with a gradual cool down from yesterday's warm temps will have Gen. Stark Mtn. skiing very, very nicely today. After days of scary weather forecasts we have dodged the bullet and now we hear another 4-8" or maybe more is on tap for tomorrow while another storm winds up for a potential weekend hit. . Let's hope they are right this time, because if they are we are in store for the best skiing since December!

Well....once again Scott is right and the local TV meteorologists were wrong....somehow the forcast turned from 1-3" to 6-12" over night while Scott called for it yesterday. Probably about 4" on the ground at my house a little south of town this AM.
It's currently dumping in Burlington....roads are a mess. Accidents everywhere. You can definately tell who the folks are who don't have proper winter tires on their vehicles.

It's dumping in Central Vermont near Sugarbush...we've already gotten 6 inches and the forecast was for 4-6 inches. I guess they were a bit wrong....
