Based on the current forecast, it looks like these are out of the question.

I am. Can't you see I need it man!!!. I need a fix!!!!!!I may be in the minority but we are only at the 1/3 mark of fall. I've never done much skiing before the 2/3 mark so I'm anything but in panic mode.

October has been mild, and November looks relatively mild as well. Things should look much better in December.
I get nervous when it snows early. Seems like it always results in a warm up or rain a week or two later.
Now if it were November 15 and there was no skiing then I'd be nervous. That would kill Thanksgiving skiing, which is a money maker for some resorts.
Can't any one of you who live in the NE get September, October & November turns anytime you want at Tucks or is that more of a April-June thing?

Tucks is an April/May thing, with June being a possibility if you're willing to a hike a long ways for a few turns.
It has snowed every month of the year on Mt. Washington, but it's a dusting -- it doesn't stick. It's probably turning white up near the summit area by now, but there are very big rocks up there that need to be covered.
Since October snow melts to nothing 90% of the time this is a blessing for the resorts as they don't have to waste resources that go down the creek. It puts less pressure on the non-early season resorts who get pounded by the public for not making snow whenever there's a night where it gets below 30 degrees.
