FYI Exit 18 off the thruway (~1.5 hours from Hunter, Belleayre, Windham etc.)

Snow for about 1/2 hour...no significant accumulation. Just changed over to rain / freezing rain. Icing up the road nicely.

Lets hope higher elevations do better.

Zand · Dec 15, 2005

The radar shows snow over us here, but it's obvious it's all virga and it probably won't start for another hour or two. They're calling for 3-6" before a changeover to freezing rain and about 1/2" of ice.

I'll be at Wachusett tomorrow night.

9:30 @ Albany:

Hard Freezing Rain about 20 minutes ago . . . Hopefully it will be snow up north. Looks like a fast moving storm. Already stopped in NYC according to the Very Last Howard Stern Free Radio Show.

ALLSKIING · Dec 16, 2005

Killington said they got 8 inches..but I am sure thats at the top.

VB · Dec 16, 2005

Hope Whalebacks just getting snow rigt now, we have hail, snow and sleet where i live. Guess higher elevations will help though, still Whalebacks only 300 elevation, i belive.

Anyone know what roads like I90 through Mass and then I91 up into VT are like? We were planning on driving up that way this afternoon.

thetrailboss · Dec 16, 2005

Roads here in VT are not good. Snow covered due to the threat of icing. Take it easy out there.

frozencorn · Dec 16, 2005

Anyone know what 93 N > 16 N looks like? Not driving up until late tonight, round 10, which should help.

Greg · Dec 16, 2005

Seems like there was more freezing rain/rain than predicted. Anyone know how the Northern Berks, southern Green fared? Radar is showing rain as far North as Southern VT/NH.... :angry:

KingM · Dec 16, 2005

We didn't get any rain or even sleet to speak of where I live in the Mad River Valley. There were about 5" when I shoveled at 7:00 and at least 5" since then. It's still coming down hard enough that I could have easily started shoveling again at the beginning when I finished my second pass about twenty minutes ago. I'd be surprised if we ended up with less than a foot even if it started winding down now, which it's not.

Good news. As long as MRV and points north are all snow, I'm happy.

Tin Woodsman · Dec 16, 2005

Wow. 10" new as of 12:30. That's great news, considering that it continued to snow pretty hard until about 2PM. Radar indicates it's winding now now, though there are a bunch of snow showers out in PA headed this way. Hopefully they'll hit early tomorrow AM.

KingM · Dec 16, 2005

Yes, it's done now.

But my very unscientific guess says we got a foot. :beer:

DJAK · Dec 16, 2005

8-10" at Sunday River as of 3 pm - still snowing.

They just got a new photo gallery from today up.

VB · Dec 16, 2005

Weve go about 3-5", and its still snowing pretty good. Hope Enfield gets about a foot though, that would be some major powder skiing for tomarrow on Whaleback!!!

awf170 · Dec 16, 2005

Cannon got about 2 inches before the mix came, so by the time I left(12) there was pretty much a dusting of new snow :angry: probably one of my worst days ever skiing...

Was it one of your worst days because of high expectations or because of truly bad conditions?

dmc · Dec 16, 2005

Hunter was awesome today!!!

A few inches of sloppy fresh... just about every trail open... Very carveable and fast...
