| Jiminy report SAT Jiminy Peak report. LIke the rest of the posts in this thread, I woke up sort of dissapointed with the lack of snow this morning - Only 3-4 inches?? in Northern CT. Left CT around 8:30...arrived at Jiminy around 10:30, The Pike was slow, but passable. Was snowing steady all day, with some heavy stuff around midday. When we arrived, I would guess maybe 6 or so inches of VERY LIGHT DRY pow (quality sheet mon) on the sides of the trails. Ended up with probably 10-12" by the time we left around 2:15..... Greg - You should be in great shape if ya head there tommorow....even if they do groom, you should still be golden sticking to the sides of trails, with lots of fluffy goodness to be had around every corner. Ducked a few ropes (actually my friend dropped a glove from the lift, so 1 time we were 'legit') Pow was nice, but could use anther 6-8" to make it really worth it. Which reminds me - be careful - LOTS of snow snakes (logs, rocks, big chuncks of snowmaking death cookies etc) hiding in the pow...Keep you tip(s) up. Wind was constant, but not an issue at all. VERY, VERY few people on the slopes....no (literally) lift lines.... All in all....A great early season powder day. Off to Okemo tommorow - Am expecting lots more early season smoke pow pow.....

| As of about 500PM it started to really pick up here east of Worcester - lots of wind and snow. Probably got an inch or so in the last hour and still coming down pretty well, although we still only have about 5" on the ground. The guy on Channel 4 in Boston now says we should wind up with 8-12 total here. Hopefully much more up north..... |

| Still plenty of snow coming down, plenty of wind with an occasional serious gust. Lots of swirling snow outside with reduced visibility. I think I'm looking at about 8" or more out there, but everything is drifted so it's hard to tell. The soup was really good.

| BLAH. it's suppose to snow a lot in the mountains, not cape ann. i went to bed two hours ago. one hour ago, i got woken up by the plow guy spinning the wheels on his 4 wheel drive truck trying to plow out the driveway. it was a sad sight seeing him defeated by the wet think packed snow. it was a smack in the face for me, cause if a 4 wheel drive heavy truck is having trouble with this stuff... my light weight saturn is sure to end up on the side of the road or worse. i think i'm bailing tomorrow. at best, i'll try for a halfday, but i think i'm gonna wait this one out. if it was powder, no problem... but this is one of the worst storms i've ever seen in my area and it ain't slowing down. well over a foot of WET snow now and still coming. would have been 3+ feet if this was fluffy powder. if it keeps snowing tomorrow, i might be able to bail on work monday other than that, it'll be next week for me.

 Looks like I'm in the same situation. The guys planning to go with me are in lower Fairfield County and we're gussing it may take 3 1/2 hours+ for them to get to Jiminy and they bagged it. So, I'm probably gonna spend the day digging out. If possible, I may try to get to Butternut for the afternoon. Oh, and I'm feeling a little sick so tomorrow's a possibility.  | |
