From what I've been hearing, the snow level is currently around 4,000 feet. If it was down to 1,000, you'd all hear it from me by now. :wink:

are you in VT?

1000 feet in MA and 1000 feet in VT are quite different, especially with the dynamics of this storm

True, but it's currently colder at my house than in Rutland, VT, which is around the same elevation.

3" and snowing at 1800'. Dirt roads now covered up here. So Strat, I guess I was closest on the 2" measurable snow, huh?

Wow, nice call... I was contemplating taking out my old snowboard for some backyard action but there just isn't enough snow to get an edge in, and I don't want to soak my brand new boots just yet...

It's snowing in the Mad River Valley. There is about an inch on the ground here on the valley floor and more falling. It was heavy rain during the night and is still a pretty wet snow. But as my father used to say, beggars can't be choosers.
Nice to see you back KingM. winter must be on its way.

i have a friend right outside of killington that says all the peaks are white and that he heard there was 6-8 inches at the top

anyone else hearing this?

My bet.... Kmart is open Thursday after a huge winter storm tues-wed on the backside of Wilpha (combination of Wilma/Alpha)
