The NWS is predicting a snowstorm along and south of I-90 for thursday night and friday. At this point it does not look like the ski areas further north will benefit much from this storm.

I am hearing 4-8" of heavy wet snow possible along I-90

Nice, I hadn't lookd at the forecast. Looks like 3" in southern NH predicted so far.

Of course, I also had my hopes up when last night there was a solid inch and it was belching snow LAST night, and I wake up to that same inch. Looks like it snowed more, then went to rain this morning, and washed half of the snow away. *pout*

We had a coating of snow around 11:30pm last night, but it's gone now with sunshine and 43F.

where to go saturday, then?

will sunapee/ragged/crotched be too far north to get anything meaningful out of this?

jiminy?

I would take this map with a grain of salt because the latest models push the snow even further south, but here is an early snowmap:

Maybe a final pow bump session Friday night at Sundown?

If we do get snow in Northern Connecticut chances are high for it to be a very wet snowfall.

Great for bumps!

Yes indeed, though I wish we could get such a snowfall in Maine to cover up all of the ice in the woods.

jaywbigred · Mar 26, 2008

Oh please please let this hold up--Stratton needs some bumps, aka I need something interesting to do at Stratton this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool, if this thing holds up and can maintain it's Northerly position, the snowbanks lining the walk at my place at Mount Snow will finally be taller then me! That definately wouldn't be a bad thing as we head into April! Plus, if 3 to 6" comes down the trees at Mount Snow would be ridiculously good, and I'd bet that runs like Beartrap, Ripcord, Yard Sale and Lower Nitro would have enough coverage over last weeks re-freezing event to re-open them and their SWEET looking bumps!

Me likey..maybe it can track a little further north and Stowe could get in on it...freshies for the Catskills..yummy

loafer89 · Mar 26, 2008

Sorry guys, this storm looks to be a snow event for areas south of Albany/Vermont/New Hampshire.

wa-loaf · Mar 26, 2008

Just saw the weather, looks like 3-5 in the Berksire East area. 1-3 for Wachusett. Didn't look like it went that far up into VT. This on Friday after rain on Thursday.

AMAC2233 · Mar 27, 2008

It's now looking like more of a rain/sleet event for pretty much everywhere, except extreme NW CT, the Berkshires, and S VT. Any snow that falls east of that band will likely not stick, since in the spring, there needs to be a lot more snow to stick than in the winter.

A pretty weak March for snow in SNE. Last time we had accumulation near Boston was March 1, and it was half an inch. (The average is somewhere around 8 inches.) Strong start, weak finish to the winter down here.

But, this is just SNE. I guess it's only up in NNE that really matters, since most of the small hills down here are closed/closing now.

Euler · Mar 27, 2008

This is odd - the Burlington NWS office issuing an advisory covering So VT, while the Albany office has not issued anything? What's up with that?

In any case, I'm ready for a bit more sticky, wet snow to bring the trees and the bumps at Mt. Snow back up to speed.

Doing some more digging around looking into this thing:

The NWS probability map (red areas indicate >70% probility of more than 4 inches snow in the next 24 hrs. The little red circle at the bottom of VT is pretty much right around my house!
