Nice. I love getting the little clippers that pile up. It keeps the skiing fresh.

I wish they'd make these maps larger. XC Skiing in Lincoln is gonna be sweet next weekend.

Tim Kelly on NECN had a much different map showing 6" for most of NH including the Whites with NoVT extending into Northern ME up to a foot. Tough call on this one, difference of a couple dozen miles north or south could mean a big difference.

WCAX says 4-8 inches....

And then a warm up with r%^n and crap on Monday-Tuesday

The good news is that forecasts appear to be trending colder....

[SnowRider]

Not much, but perhaps a few inches.

I love it when that staement is wrong

But really there saying 7-12 for killington so this is officially a storm in my book.

Pow, all my friends, presents, cake. Its like putting everything awsome into one weekend. (B-day sunday)

Wow!!! It keeps looking better and better for So VT. In the past few days this has gone from a good chance of a few inches to a good chance for a half a foot, to a good chance for a foot and a half!

WARNING FOR THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL TACONICS...BERKSHIRES AND
SOUTHERN VERMONT WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM THIS EVENING TO 4

This is the one time, for one localized area, that I hope this storm and the Southeast winds brings a change over to "immature snow" quickly, but just for a really small area (the runways at T.F. Green Airport in Providence) so my 7:25AM flight can both get in tonight and then depart on time tommorrow AM to carry me off to Utah!

Anywhere outside the I-295 corridor around Providence let this sucker really bomb out and absolutely blast just about every ski area in New England, but for personal reason, I gotta hope that the skiers/riders at Yawgoo Valley tommorrow will be needing Gore Tex to deal with wet, not white

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Now 3-7 inches expected in the Poconons..tomorrow morning could be totally legit..

very nice, but now its going to take forever to get from Albany to Jay leaving way early Sat AM! Well, I'm think might as well tear up some pow at Stratton or mount snow and then continue on to Jay for Sunday??

Dude, go to Magic to tear up some powder on your way to Jay. Don't go to Stratton or Mt. Snow for powder when Magic is in that area & the pow will be much better. You also won't run into the crowds of people that Mt. Snow or Stratton will have. We were at Magic yesterday & it was the best day of the season for me! Hit it!

We are going to have to hightail it out of here tonight for skiing at Sunday River this weekend. Originally I wanted to leave early on saturday but with a Heavy Snow Warning up from the NWS for my county travel on saturday will be harsh.
