late week storm?

Oh, well, looks like we're going anyways..... We'll just deal with whatever happens. Even if it's just a get-a-way, it'll be worth it. We found a dog friendly place, so that'll work for us. Radio's saying "wet" snow for the mountains, here' hoping.

But here's the ultimate question..

Where's the snow/R@1# line going to reside..

I actually have high hopes for snow tonight.. It's the second wave coming tommorow during the day that scares the bejesus out of me.. Wish I had a giant mountain sized tarp... :-D

Dont even think they'll open tomorrow...

Here's the sort of thing he's talking about I suspect.

Many meterologists are disagreeing, or at least feeling, the models feel wrong. If it tracks further east, that big red ubah snow area could pop right over us. Check out:

Good summary.

Snow lines getting a LITTLE fatter. Now, if everyone in Toronto just blows to the south east....

this is a crazy system, more systems are coming together...this is a major weather event and its a blast to watch it come together....i am confident that NVT (Stowe/Smuggs) will make out better than what the accuwx/noaa is leading us to believe

Looking pretty ugly...

It's all going to depend *when* the precipitation falls. Looks like we're going to get belted tonight, when it *might* be cold enough to snow/ice. Then we get a brief reprieve tommorow morning untill early afternoon, then we get wailed on. The later it waits to wail, the more theres a chance it's going to be NOT be R@1#.

my buddy and I are leaving later tonight and heading north to a destination (dont know where yet) thinking driving straight to Smuggs ( I have a pass) or up to Jay, we have a room in the MRV Sat night so we'll ski MRG or SB on Sunday....either way, no matter what falls we are going....

This is the place to go.

SKIQUATTRO · Mar 7, 2008

smuggs has the same forecast as WF...

SKIQUATTRO · Mar 7, 2008

i'm still calling for 6-9" NVT with pockets of 12"

Warp Daddy · Mar 7, 2008

Snowing very hard right now in NNY for past hr . We're supposed to get 8-12 inches by tomorrow nite

-I skied yesterday and today with plenty of base and BTW snowbanks in my driveway still 4 ft high

SKIQUATTRO · Mar 7, 2008

hey Warp...you think that 8-12" holds true for Stowe/Smuggs area?

Warp Daddy · Mar 7, 2008

Possibly but i think from the Champlain Valley east they were talking about more of a rain, icing snow event on our news tonite . I'm 2 hrs west of that area along the Canadian Border 50 minutes south of Ottawa

SO it really depends on where the freezing rain line is going , luckily we are NORTH of it so far.

Its coming down here pretty good here bout 3 inches so far since 7 pm

It's good packin snow , higher water content but still not bad . HEY I'd go anyway the groomers will chop up any crap
