I dont know shit about the maps but this was on FB and says Euro...

View attachment 11728

I can't remember when I've seen so many colors on one map - it's a beauty. So that's accumulation from about 7am today and lasting 60 hours (do the math). It's pretty much the picture everyone has climbed on board with.
Some of those Quebecois western provinces should make out well too.

Excuse me, what?

I am guessing that you are referring to what is commonly known as the Eastern Townships, located in the beautiful province of Quebec, home to such fine ski areas as Sutton, Owl's Head, Orford and Le Massif de Sud. If you need further lessons in Canadian geography, I would be happy to oblige.

The antecedent heat won't have an impact on where the r/s line will be. It's all about the cold air seeping from the north. Today's warmth has little to do with the storm.

It's not way north. Anything from magic on north will pick up a foot plus. That's southern VT.

It wont be that bad. Realistically Saturday will be day 2, not day 3, because 90% of the people who claim they're going skiing on Thursday will not actually be doing so.

god i hope you're right. on the V-day storm at Smuggs, typically empty, had 40+ minute waits at the lifts

Saint Valentines Day is the heart of ski season, kids are starting to play baseball etc.... I dont think lines will be that bad. On Saturday, lines at Smuggs were 13 - 16 minutes long at Madonna.
