Kinda funny. Whenever it starts snowing out (like today) I start humming Christmas tunes..... "oh the weather outside is frightful...."
Dude that is too funny!!:lol: :lol:

The track of this storm will shift favorably and all of the Northeast will be blessed. At least that's what I'm hoping for. Positive vibes...
Greg, how much snow did you get out of this last one?
It's looking pretty promising for Southern VT or NH on Tues-Wed, I am hopeful at least at the higher el's. It seems NWS is prognosticating snow to continue through the spine while the flatlands get the niar. Certainly north of Kmart looks like all snow.
Soooo.. the big question. I've a choice of Tuesday or Wednesday for midweek skiing. I had tentatively blocked Tuesday, but am starting to think Wed. might be the better choice. I'd really like to get onto the naturals and woods, but I'm probably gonna stay in Southern VT this time. (I head north again on Friday, so save some for me!) If the storm comes in late it might not hit in time for me to take advantage of. Of course there's the usual driving-in-the-snow roadway issues on Tuesday. I think I'm talking myself into Wednesday.
Thoughts? Tuesday or Wednesday?
Wednesday is definitely going to be the true powder day. Tuesday will be storm skiing in the afternoon (also quite nice) but Tuesday morning will be the same old stuff we've been skiing on. Light snow will still be falling through most of Wednesday morning, but heaviest is Tuesday evening into the night, IMO.
I'd say Killington to Sugarbush/MRG area will make out very well with over a foot if it stays all snow. Actually, the number I've got in my head right now for much of Vermont, New Hampshire, and the Adirondacks is 7-14" based on a basic 12:1 ratio. Synoptic set-up argues for .5-1.0 liquid equivalent. Will need to look further at the mixing potential, temperatures in the snow growth region, and how quickly the coastal development gets going.
Gotta go to work till this evening, however, so will try to post a full update later tonight.
