The Official 12/5 - 12/7 Storm Discussion Thread

Following Josh's lead on this. Let's use this thread to keep each other informed as this (apparently likely) snow event unfolds. WTNH (New Haven) is now calling for "4 to 12 or more inches of snow" for much of CT, beginning late Friday.

lets not jinx it.

Wish I could enjoy the storm and go skiing. Stupid finals. Figures i miss a powder storm. Have fun to all going out in it, be safe, and give me lots of details so I can live vicariously through you.

I can't really say about this storm now that I'm tainted with juciy Dr. Weather flash updates I cannot disseminate. Definately looks like a storm to track. However, I can tell that at -5 below up here in north country I'm freezing my $@#@s off last night as I drove to/from Concord and this morning when I woke up. Lots of very brittle cold still fresh glittery snow all around already on the ground. Blue skies this morning, should be a great weekend for skiing no matter what happens.

I'll be keeping an eye out for your Jiminy report as I'll be up there on Sunday. I hope they don't groom it all out Saturday night...

Yeah I here ya - Nothing is more tragic than mowing down pow.....but with a major dump and being widy, ya should have no problem finding stashes all over the place on Sunday!!!

Just hoping this things extends into Sunday morning. Would be nice to have a few inches on top of the cord...

i'm debating going east to west to hit up jiminy for my first time on sunday due to the predictions. good point about the grooming though, that would make the drive less worth it to me. although i can't fault them if they do groom, that's an instant base for the entire mountain if they get upwards of a foot!

I've never seen them groom duirng open hours. Been there one night during a storm like this and it was ungroomed pow all over. If it snows good enough Sat. it should be sweet. . .and ungroomed.

Please, please leave me some untracked for Monday.

I'll find it.

Will you be wearing that blue and red jacket in your avatar if you go to Jiminy, Steve? I'll keep an eye out for you. I think I can recognize you from the pics on your site.

So...the snow started in New Haven around 3 PM and was pretty heavy when I left work at 4. Had some trouble getting home. Got stuck on this uphill approach to a stoplight. Turned around and took a running start at it and blew the light! I wish I had the Jeep, but mom and baby had it at home today. Snowline was at Waterbury at 5:30 PM when I drove through. Weird. Heavy snow and then none with 2-3 miles. It's 7:30 PM now and the heavier snow just started here in Watertown. Batten down the hatches!
