The Official 1/8 Storm Discussion Thread

Woke up to freezing rain this morning and it's now just getting above freezing.

I hope mountains from the Berkshires north are faring better...

The Intellicast loop is showing snow from southern Mass northward. I hope that's the case.

I was going to go to Butternut this morning, leaving here at 10:00am. I woke up to rain, did errands and discovered my vehicle after sitting for 15 minutes had a sheet of ice on it. The main roads are not slippery, but walkways, parking lots and driveways are. My fir trees in front of my house are weighed down . I kind of think we are having an ice storm where I am.

I looked at the snow / mix / rain line and I am in the mix area. It also looks as if the southern Berks are to.

Here is a shot from my computer room. Normally the limbs on the trees below are 6 feet of the ground, now they are about 1 foot and have ice hanging off.

Most of the resorts in Vermont are calling up to six inches, that close to a foot from both storms I'll take it

North of Boston we have about 1" so far. Big, heavy wet flakes.

Hoping for a big hit up Noth, ayup!

As of 1:15 PM, looks like we have approx. 3" of sticky fluff near Nashua, NH. Forecast is for about 6". Roads right now are a mess.

Hopefully the southern and central NH ski areas are getting the same.

I'm bummed, though; I have other stuff going on so I can't get out tomorrow.

It's coming down hard right now in the Mad River Valley. It's the thickest snowfall I've seen all year. About three inches on the ground so far today. I have no idea how long it will keep coming like this, but I've got to think we're getting an inch and hour at the moment, so even a couple more hours would be great. Based on past experiences, Sugarbush and MRG are probably getting valley + 50%.

I'll tell you, it's sure improving my mood.

Skiied Okemo yesterday 1/7. They got about 6-8 inches from the 1/6 storm and were blowing a lot of snow . Conditions were scratchy on all the bumps, and no glades were open, but the main trails had good crud on the sides up until closing.
