Don't know why everyone's so excited over Wednesday, Thursday is the day for nice fresh pow. Heavy snow isn't starting til Wednesday at noon and supposed to continue into Wednesday night. Don't shoot your load too early.

I'm thinking Friday would be the best day. Thursday we're expecting the winds that usually come after a big storm. Probably will be wind holds.

Our local weather guy is predicting 30"-48" for the Bush and Stowe. The first flakes will start at 3AM tonight. It will also be windy in the afternoon. It took me 10 tries to get into the NOAA site early this morning...this is going to be very interesting.

After getting frustrated with NOAA I slummed it and checked AccuWeather and Weather.com.

I had to read that three times to make sure I wasn't imagining things.... this may be a time for me to go to MRG...

I'm still apprehensive about this. Not getting my hopes up at all. It looks great, and every piece is in place, but it ain't over til the mercedez suv is in the ditch.

I think the timing of this storm is pretty good regarding everyone coming for the holiday weekend in that I am hoping by Friday afternoon the roads should be somewhat plowed.

I don't remember the exact year, maybe 2000, it was a pretty mediocre snow year, starting Friday morning of this same holiday weekened it started snowing hard in the morning. By dinnertime the calls started coming in, guests and especially big busses could not get up the Sugarbush access rd.

We rallied all the big trucks we could muster and started ferrying them up the road to the Sugarbush Inn to check in and then took them to their condos. I worked about 14 hours that day.
