Too funny. I expected panic and whining reader responses. I love the positive attitude! From Boston.com:
"I'm just excited that I'll be able to pick up some new lawn funriture to have for springtime. They give it away in Southie, you know, right after every snow storm. It must be a cultural thing - sacrifices to the snow gods or something like that. Whatever...who doesn't love free furniture???"

ALY Albany shows mass getting 4". Across the forcast line, a few miles away, BOS is forecasting 12-13. It's not just conservative, it's waaaaay off.
Then again, BTV and GYX are off a bit across border, but not nearly as bad as ALY and BOS.

Forecast for Pico just got a whole lot better from NWS, looking at around a foot now. My Wateas are kept at Killington, so Pico's the obvious choice for me, but Magic's an option as well. And thinking maybe Ascutney for Saturday. Really need to use the skins some this year.

Winn, is Bretton Woods looking better than Sunday River for snowfall? The winds are making me think BW but I want to factor everything in.
I'm closest to Gunstock but I never ski there and don't know how wind resistant they are.
