We received about 8" - 9" of snow last night and school is canceled today....hmm what should I do today?

hard to tell from the drifting but a good guess is 18" here in S Paris Me.. Im about 30 miles south of Sunday River on Rt 26.

looks like a nice dry snow great for the glades and sheltered trails but it may blow off any trails exposed to the wind. its blowing pretty good out there dress warm if you are going out.

Looks like it wasn't the three footer we were all hoping for in VT. With heavy winds and ice underneath, it could be a little dicey. Only one way to find out...

That was the most violent 8 inches of snow I've ever experienced. Lightning,thunder,winds up to 50 mph,whiteout conditions and frigid tempertures. It was truly impressive!

No kidding. In southern RI we didn't get more than a couple of inchs but it was the nastiest couple of inchs I can ever remember.

It indeed looks like Northern NH and Western Maine were spared much of the rain and picked up a solid 12"+

Once again...Roemer was more hype than accurate forcasting.
