This pending storm, is going to put a money wrench in many resorts, who were fully ready for this coming weekend to be their last weekend of operations, in a bit of a quandry........
They might still either close this week or just try and eek out 1 more weekend, next weekend. It isn't like this storm is going to be gigantic.

And at this point the snow isn't sticking around for long at all. We've already lost a ton of snow in just the past couple of days.

Good point also. This colder weather and some rain is better for snowpack retention than that warm weather a few weeks ago though. Next week looks like it may stay pretty cool up North as well and there's a chance at some snow, but it'll most likely be more rain than snow (guessing).

Big fat storm on the way for vt friday...

Indeed. 12-18 inches by the end of it on Saturday. I was supposed to leave today for Rutland but am delayed until tomorrow morning. Hopefully my Toyota Camry can make it all the way from Albany...

Only question is will it dump that much at Stowe. I want ti hit K first but the wife has other ideas..something to do with skiing with her friends. Not that skiing at Stowe is a bad thing but if they only get 6 inches and K gets over 12, I would be happier at K.
