SB reporting 8....?

**thetrailboss** · Feb 27, 2008, 9:18 AM

Yep...we are happy with 8, but it is not the 16 that was forecast. Things slowed down last night and this morning.....

It seems like Northern NNE fell short of the forecast totals, but SoVT totals seem to be right within the ranges that were forecast. As skiers, I think we focus too much on the upper end of the range too much...

Loon's got the biggest report I've seen so far... 15"

Here in central MA, we made a net gain even with the few hours of rain. Every little bit of base counts from here on out...

MRG reported accurately for the most part, but wind moved snow fairly significantly. Skiable conditions 6"-15".

I think it's that they were saying 15-25 before the storm started and we focused on that upper amount. I was certainly happy with the snow at Bolton today. It was only a disappointment if you thought you were getting 2+ feet. As a good little dump, it was very nice.

It's still snowing at my house....looking at the radar it seems as if a little upslope and/or lake effect has set up. Not snowing hard, but definately an inch or two more since I got home from work around 5:30. The radar doesnt seem to show snow in the mountains...is the radar not picking it up?

Subarbush skied like there was about 8" down. Most of it blew into the woods. So of course, I had to go after it.... Report/pics on Thursday.

Shawnee Peak yesterday reported a foot, which was pretty accurate.
