I always like surprises and Mansfield always has some.

The other factor will be with the cold dry air that will be in place, the stuff that falls will most like be great quality blower, BUT the winds likely to be associated with the back side of these clippers will redistribute the snow very quickly

I think I know where to find the lost snow

 

[billski]

i like accuweather, not because they are often wrong, but because they get me cranked when I know they might be right!

Another low-blower. Pretty dry stuff, doubt if it's bump building material for Greg.... :argue:

And with the wind, the stuff that falls at Sundown might very well end up at my house over by the CT/RI border What Sundown needs for this storm is for Albany to get dumped on, because that's about where Sundown's blow in will come from

so that explains why they were hosing out the gondi :blink:

 

[psyflyer]

we only got about 2-3 inches overnight (better than nothing), however its brutally cold. Currently where I live (half way between the base lodge and the summit) the mercury reads negative 4, yesterday at this time the temp was negative 9, so its an improvement. Bundle up!

 

[KingM]

Looks like a bust for the first clipper. Second isn't looking too promising either.
