this storm is a dud....all warnings north of the mass pike are cancelled, and this storm sucks

**Greg** · Jan 27, 2004, 9:12 PM

Snow started at 9 PM and it's snowing very heavily now. We're quickly approaching an inch. We'll see what tomorrow brings...

So this whole snow storm thing really fizzled out. boston.com is saying we might get an inch today.. sigh.

**MichaelJ** · Jan 28, 2004, 6:36 AM

Not a single snowflake fell here.

Here in CT we received about 6 inches. I think everyone should fill their trunk with snow and bring it to their favorite ski area.

I have 5 inches of snow on the ground here in north central CT. Snow tires work well as the HOV lane to Hartford was packed snow.

We didn't get nearly as much as we were expecting here, but it was enough to give us a 2 hour delay for school, which was later changed to a cancellation when it started to snow again. We picked up more than an inch in an hour this morning. It's still snowing to beat the band.

I live on a big hill and there are cars stuck on it. A couple minutes ago a car slid into the cement wall that is in front of my house, fortunately, no one got hurt. I think it's going to be a "fun" day here.

And the ski area that's big winner for snowfall is....YAWGOO VALLEY!

**Greg** · Jan 28, 2004, 9:02 AM

We ended up with about 9 inches, I guess. That's an estimate (I didn't measure). I'm guessing Butternut, Catamount, and some of the Catskill resorts did well out of this one.

It's still snowing here, there is about 9" on the ground right now and it is coming down full force. The local school, which had a 2 hour delay and decided to keep it that way, is now dismissing the students because the snow seems to be getting more intense.

Some one said that Yawgoo was the big winner here, but I think Pine Ridge, Ski Ward and Wachusett are also going to be big winners!

Pine Ridge really needed it too as I have heard that there is a problem with the snow making system there.
