We are going to have to hightail it out of here tonight for skiing at Sunday River this weekend. Originally I wanted to leave early on saturday but with a Heavy Snow Warning up from the NWS for my county travel on saturday will be harsh.



Yeah, not looking forward to the drive to Black tomorrow morning. A normal 1:45 will probably take 3 hours +. Looks like the drive starts at 5:30 instead of 6:30.

kinda strange/ nws predicted heavy snow on Tuesday eve. I drove up, expecting the worst, and it was nothing but light to occasionally moderate snow. I lost no time in transit.

Looks like we could get 6-12" out of this in CT from the report I just read. I'll have to make sure I bring my skis with me to work tomorrow and get a few runs in before heading home!

I have done the drive to Sunday River many times in snow, but the drive for me is 4 hours + and to do it on a saturday, then ski and drive home the next day is a bit much if the weather is bad.

They got a good two feet earlier this week, they might get a bit more tomorrow, and then the forecast is sunny and 40 starting Sunday. Trust me, you'll have a great time...

10PM - 12PM Tomorrow???? Don't you mean AM? Or has the storm slowed up and is arriving later. I hope not. Hope it snows like a bastard over night and into the morning as I'll be at Black at 8am tomorrow.

I'll have a good time for sure, but my powder days have been few and far between. A couple of day early season at Hunter then 2 days in Utah...and thats it. Well BC had 4 or 5 inches here and there but that "powder...light".
