It's not bad it's the main road through a lot of towns so they keep it clear. It's easy to get back onto 91 if need be.

Rt 12 is excellent, for me it's about 10 minutes faster (but I don't go over 65 even on I-91) and it saves about 10-15% in gas.
Two times I might not take it is if it's really dumping I might stay on the well plowed main highway, and also on weekdays if you don't get an early enough start you get commuter traffic and worst of all school busses, but that's not a problem on weekends. Very few traffic lights and it's 45-55 a lot of the way except when it drops to 30-35 going through a village here and there. Last Sunday I went 5mph over the entire way, never had a slow vehicle in front of me once.

Sounds right, I'd cut from 190 over to 2 via 140 (going past Wachusett) anyway.

Early Sat morning, so I might give 12 a shot.

Work - had to get it in before 3/31 (as much as I tried to delay). Been planned for a while. Been busy preparing etc., hence why I've been more than quiet than my normally quite self.

I could be wrong but I think he was referring to your chances of being casted for Lost 2.
Keep an eye out for that missing plane! We'll save some snow for ya!

2 to 140 to 12 saves you 25 miles each way...................................Same time pretty much as 2 to 91.

Ah yes that makes more sense. In that case I would definitely just do 140 to 12.

I've taken 2 to 140 to 12 to get out to VT for Okemo, and Magic in the past and love that road. there is hardly any traffic in the morning out there, and it's an easy drive to make. I would do that any day over 2 to 91...
Early report from operations is that a few inches fell late last night and it is still snowing lightly...call it 2-3" after the 3 inches that fell early yesterday but there's a layer of icing in between and the wind has been blowing it around. So not what we'd call a typical "powder day". It instead will be a $15 "throwback day". Also there is icing on the lifts that has to be carefully dealt with so there is the possibility of a delayed opening as ops deals with that. The roads are not pretty so please drive carefully if you are heading out. As we learn more, will update every one.

ok, that did not work as planned. Still will be a fun day I promise. I have some friends up there today hopefully busting up something for us. I'll do my best if I can get up there tonight. Keep you posted.

I plan on taking a few runs tomorrow afternoon in between work responsibilities. The warmer temps on Saturday should allow for some soft turns to be had.

That's what we do JR. Just got word from Pinhead. "Magic was variable. Soft (Kinderspiel). Some ice (Sorcerer) "It will be great this weekend."
