Good for snowboarding, bad for travel...

Well, the NWS is much more measured in their comment on these two days, saying, in effect, "its too early to tell"

WEDNESDAY...LITTLE CHANGE TO YDYS 4 PM KBOX FCST TEMPS. ADDED POPS
AND QPF. COMPLEX EVOLUTION AS A SECONDARY TRIES TO DEVELOP OVER SNE.
MULTI PTYPE.

I think there's a chance it could happen..less than a coinflip at this point..

Hopefully the ride from the Cape to Jay won't be too bad xmas day. Looking forward to 10 days of skiing.

I have to make the drive up to MRG from the cape on sunday. after battling post-game traffic at gilette. yikes. How long does it usually take you to get to jay from the cape?

 

[skiing is life]

It is about 310 miles from driveway to driveway. Depending on traffic, etc... 5 hours is about right, have made it in less and taken 9 hours before. Doing between 70-85, about 5 hours w/ a quick stop. There are two ways to go, 93 to 91 to Orleans, VT, I go 93-89 to Stowe, then about an hour 15 from there.

I'm hoping for a bust in the forecast, in a good way. Both Friday's and today's event were forecast to include sleet. Today was supposed to include freezing rain. All snow, all weekend. Although the high for Wednesday around here is forecast to be in the 40's so that ain't cool. Still a few days out. Things can change.

With all the whining around here that happens from time to time, I think it would be a good add

Oh HECK yea! Add the whole lot! :-D

This one I thought also has some potential too. The animation part drew me in

 

[LonghornSkier]

It looks like Vermont is going to get rain and NH and ME more snow with a lil' sleet

To make use of the newe smileys..

This storm path = uke:uke:uke:

 

[tcharron]

OMG, that would suck even MORE then the other forecasts I've seen.

 

[tcharron]

Actually, I suppose depending on how wide the front would end up being, it MAY not be so bad.

That is definitely the longer haul. Faster and all highway via 93/91 and never a town that forces you below 50 nor frost heaves.

Quoted for truth. Getting to Jay via 93-89 is not the way to get there. Unless you really want to make it feel like driing to Jay is like driving to northern Quebec. 93 to 91 is MUCH faster.
