TrailBoss will appreciate the magnitude of this one...
Lyndon Institute AND St. J Academy are both closed today :-o

Yep. My brother, LI's newest English teacher, told me that he did not get a call...had to see it on TV.

And at 9am in White River Jct, VT: we have heavy snow. Unofficial TB Stake shows 4-4.5 inches of snow on the hood of my car. :wink: Was going to get a pic, but the camera died....

Holy moly, the Academy & LI CLOSED? This must be a first LOL. I went to the Academy and we were never closed. The headmaster would say if he could walk to school, it's open (he lived right next door)!

I atually sat up in bed this morning when I heard this on the radio :grin:

Here in the north dirty jerz- the only schools that are open amid the Ice Storm warning are my law school and my girlfriends law school. WTF. Anyway...hopefully all of you northerners remember where the "take a picture" button on your camera is...those of us stuck down here need some stoke.

Actually, I can remember SJA closing on another occasion. And LI has been much more liberal in their closing policies as of late...Mr. Hilton uses his "headmaster's days" while a former HM did not...

Unless you want a pic of a parking lot of cars with 3-4 inches of snow on them you are going to have to be patient and wait until the people who are actually out in the snow report in. Most likely late this afternoon.

I may try to get out and take some pics at lunchtime.

nelsapbm · Feb 14, 2007

I've been posting pics on the NELSAP board...I'll throw up the link there (MODS-hope its OK), that way I don't have to do any extra uploading all over the 'net today!

15 degrees and still wind driven sleet here. The wind has really picked up in that last hour. I'm curious to know where the snow line is. I'd like to see some reports from further NW CT and the Berkshires...

Zand · Feb 14, 2007

Its 11 degrees and its f*cking SLEETING. WTF?!?!?!

ChileMass · Feb 14, 2007

The weather chick on the TV says it's gonna be 64*F and sunny today here in San Francisco...........

Flying back to Boston tomorrow night. Hope I don't get stuck out here an extra day.......

Valentines 2007: BUST OF THE CENTURY. How the hell does it sleet when its 11 degrees? Is the upper atmosphere really screwed up that bad?

Did I mention we only managed to squeeze 2" out of this one?

i poured over every report i could get my hands on to try to get a handle on this. Basically, its gonna stay sleet in all of ct until late this afternoon when the snow line should creep into far northwestern ct. I would bet even Mt Snow is going to see some mixing as it seems as if the midlevel warming is making it pretty far north. whatever, the backend should cover that up nicely up there but for us and sundown, it dont look good at all.

and i agree with Zand, i left my house it was 16 freakin degrees and sleet. 16 degrees is god damn cold for snow around here and we get sleet instead.

knuckledragger · Feb 14, 2007

It's 3 degrees and we have a foot plus so far in Starksboro for you MRG and bush people out there.

TwinTips21 · Feb 14, 2007

It was 11 degrees here last night with sleet. The nws really overforecasted their totals. They said 15-20 inches for here and we will be lucky to get six. That upper atmosphere must be 20000000000 degrees.

Just taking another one for the team. If it stays predominantly snow north of Mass, I'm okay with that.

loafer89 · Feb 14, 2007

Very heavy sleet mixed in with snow here at home and 21F. I am going into work for a few hours now.

Zand · Feb 14, 2007

I'm pissed because I spent $65 on snowmobile trail passes yesterday and now I won't even be able to ride them.
