Hope everyone has a great thanksgiving and gets some skiing in this weekend!

Here's to more of this white stuff, :beer:

That's a picture of Southern Connecticut? Excellent. It looks about the same on the floor of the Mad River Valley.

Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow! To borrow some words from one of my favorite Christmas songs!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It's basically done. There may be a few squalls that will put down a few more inches in the mountains. Should be great skiing tomorrow!

This turned out pretty well. It never came down hard, but it's been a light snow all day and that's really added up. Here is what I wrote on the Sugarbush thread:

As of 20:00 it looks like we totaled about 12" here on the valley floor. I got in the hot tub with the kids late this afternoon and it looked like it had completely stopped, but then a few lazy flakes started falling and here I am a few hours later and I need to shovel the decks again. I'm not complaining.

Can anyone wish away this warming trend we have coming for next week? I guess I've been tricked by this January-ish weather and have to remind myself it's still November.

It's like a freakin blizzard down here. The front just came through with heavy snow and 40 MPH winds. The roads were covered in a matter of 15 minutes and it's all blowing around like crazy. It's a Thanksgiving blizzard!
