The Official 2/12 - 2/13 Storm Discussion Thread

youck, that radar looks ugly. It's obviously all rain now here in little rhody...on my way to Jackson tonight. Hopefully the rain doesn't move any further north...

It looks like mix line is finally starting to hold on line that the the NWS burlington predicted...maybe the 6-10 total snow for the northern adirondacks will work out.

Anybody know what elevation is doing to this storm- clearly there are area's where cold air is trapped at the surface and producing ice so I'm guess there are area's where it's warmer at elevation then at the surface.

I just spent about an hour shoveling here at work and I probably have less than an hour left..as expected things are incredibly slow today...after I'm done shoveling here..I'm going over to my parents new house and shoveling their driveway and walk. My Dad(Boss) told me that I can drink as much of their beer as I want..as long as I shovel...Then I'm shoveling my parents old house which they're closing on in a few days..then that's it..I don't have to go back to work. Some serious exercise for me today. I'll probably be so tired that I'll have to go to the bar for wings and beer.

I'm just kidding around...relax. Have a few beers for me.

Are you going skiing today? Is Blue even open in this crazyness?

So...we need some more reports. I'd particularly be interested to know how SoVT is fairing. Not good, I'd imagine.

Things will improve when the eventual refreeze happens.

That doesn't sound too promising for the here and now.

Received phone call from southern VT. Very icy, bad roads.

And that's AT the mountain.

Yeah, from poking around various online reports, it seems Killington south is being affected by ice and freezing rain. This sucks. Good for Sugarbush northward it seems though!
