I got a boner just now from accuweather..problem is it's accuweather..or crappuweather...but a foot of fresh would be sick for stoke and I could ski the marquee route under the 6-pack of Blue..more than 10 inches and I'll float over all the beer bottles..

Looking good for the Hartford area:

http://coolwx.com/cgi-bin/getbufr.php?region=CT&stn=KBDL&model=gfs&time=current&field=prec

NOAA is calling for a 60% chance of snow Friday into Saturday for New Hartford. Should be a great weekend at Sundown. I hope to be there 2 out of the 3 nights from Friday into Sunday and will be there Saturday afternoon with my daughter. Bring it!

looks like they arent exactly sticking their necks out with any forecast at this time but the potential is there. I will cancel my killington trip and stay south if this plays out.

AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW...THE 00Z GFS AND 00Z ECMWF HAVE COME INTO
BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE POTENTIAL FRIDAY SYSTEM. NORTHERN STREAM
SHORT WAVE SWINGS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES AND OHIO VALLEY WITH SOME
WEAK SOUTHERN STREAM ENERGY GETTING INFUSED. IF THE 00Z RUNS OF THE
GFS AND ECMWF WERE PERFECT PROGS...WE COULD BE LOOKING AT A PLOWABLE
SNOWFALL FOR MUCH OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND VERY LATE THURSDAY NIGHT
AND LASTING THROUGH FRIDAY. HOWEVER...CONFIDENCE ON THIS IS LOW AT
THIS POINT GIVEN THE CHAOTIC LOOK TO THE UPPER AIR PATTERN OVER NORTH
AMERICA. MODELS WILL LIKELY JUMP AROUND A BIT OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
WE NEED TO ALLOW WIGGLE ROOM FOR A WARMER AND FURTHER NORTH
SYSTEM...OR PERHAPS A WEAKER AND FURTHER SOUTH ONE.

COULD BE ANOTHER SYSTEM THIS WEEKEND QUICK ON THE HEELS OF FRIDAY/S
SYSTEM AS SOUTHERN STREAM SHORT WAVE OR WAVES KICK OUT. NOT SURE AT
ALL HOW THIS WILL PLAY OUT.
