I checked the NWS for southern VT. Looks like they could get a decent amount as well? Who knows. It's kind of a PITA to read the discussions there because the office is one state; and they tend to focus on that area.

We'll have to see how this pans out. If it's still cranking Sunday AM, we may have to alter our plans to drive up to VT.

Any bets on my office Christmas party getting cancelled for the second time?

Stay local. The mighty Sundown is in the bullseye again for this one. Gonna be great on Sunday.

Greg's right, it looks like Sundown is on the edge of the 6-10" expected according to the below image from Accuweather.

That may be doable!

Another option is riding the quad, then doing a little show shoeing. Regardless, it'll be a great weekend. I love having options!

it looks like north jerz is in the hot zone

Nice.....you mentioned wanting to try Sundown sometime. Sunday might be a good opportunity. Although I guess it'll be good at the Creek too.

We are heading up to Pats Peak early tomorrow for some skiing before the snow hits. Sunday looks like it would be difficult to get around especially from Eastern Connecticut where the snow may linger.
