Thanks for posting Bill. VT/NH/ME forecasts are done manually--"forecasts from scratch". (Some automated data may filter through from time to time) Forecasted snowfall amounts from the daily details should carry over to the State Summary page that you posted but I don't think it works all the time--it's probably best to go straight to the individual resort page for now.

How come no Ny. More snowboarding and skiing places in NY then any other state in the US.

I update the discussions for NY and MA too but I just don't have time to manually update the daily details for all of them. I'll poke in here to help you with that though!

Do they predict accurate ski hill forecast? I never use their site before.

That's a pretty cool visual. Not sure if the radar is accurate or not though, it shows all snow in NY/VT whereas TWC shows a substantial mix area in VT so one of the two has to be wrong.

Yeah I just compared the two. TWC shows a mix over Lake Champlain.

Snowing lightly at my house right now a little North of Burlington and maybe 1 mile from the lake.

Colchester?

I used to live in Burlington.

Yep Colchester. Moved here at the end of last summer. Great location...close to the city, the lake and roughly an hour to all the NVT ski resorts.
