Tons of freezing rain and icing here in Bloomfield. We lost power at home just a short while ago and I am in the office with Warren as school got cancelled for today.

Unless we get a repeat of last April, we've only got 4-6 or so more weeks for potential big snows in SoVT and SNE. This storm is fine for mid-December, but it sucks for mid-Feb, bottom line.

totally agree w/ Greg. The trees already had an awesome base and in some instances still had fresh pow in them from a couple days ago. A foot of freshies on top of that would have been great. So it goes...

Sometimes this can mean that certain weather observation instuments are obscured by ice/freezing rain and giving the "unknown" reading.

There's still a slim chance that Killington might salvage some snow out of this one. According to Intellicast the snow line is now south of them:

Lots of moisture to work through still. The K-1 cam is showing snow at Killington. Any local reports?

Looks like the dacks is where its at. Wildcat looks to be in the mixed belt now, I can only hope the higher elevations are spared some.

Looks like I'm getting screwed with the ole Attitash.......eh, the tix were free. I'm just kinda worried about heading up there tonight.....

The WTF part of every storm: 33 degrees and heavy rain.

loafer89 · Feb 13, 2008, 1:33 PM

Any of you guys getting the heavy icing that Hartford is?

Grassi21 · Feb 13, 2008, 1:53 PM

No heavy icing yet. The water is flowing with great pace down my drive. In the backyard we have a river flowing down the back of my property line and a nice sized lake growing.
