"Feeling heavy snow squalls could line right up in the Bush MRG area. Counting what feel today, by tomorrow morning I think that area could see 5-10 inches of snow. Maybe even a touch more....honestly if these bands align just right could easily make a pow town."

10 inches? I'll believe it when I see it. Nothing good happens this year, so I'm going with the "standard" 2 to 3.

These are the kinds of "no bull" snow reports that I appreciate more than whatever the mountain puts out! Years later, the real-time interconnectivity possibilities of the intertet still amaze me.

*** The lack of consistently cold air and natural snow has many ski areas struggling to keep slopes open or in top condition from I-90 on south this season. The resorts have been making snow when possible, but at a price.
The lack of snow and cold in the Midwest, mid-Atlantic and southern New England is a double-edged sword. While inevitably municipalities, county and highway departments save tax dollars and people save money on heating costs, there are those who rely on winter storm cleanup dollars to help put food on the table.***
