nope.. flight to Denver for long weekend of skiing.. delay in leaving means i could miss a day of skiing in CO.

Oh bleep. I thought you were returning. Too bad the airline won't let you leave early without a change fee. They'll prolly cancel flights anyways and have to change you; I wonder if this sort of reasoning works with airlines? Nah, I'm thinking too rationally.

I don't know where your flying out of but I could stand the rain/snow line being north and west of the major airports. Hell I don't even care if it rains here in North Jersey. Just let it snow in the Pocono Mountains and I'll be happy.

No slight intended to Mountain Creek, Hidden Valley or Campgaw for that matter. I only care if it snows at the ski areas.

I have to run my weekly grocery errand after work. I'll report back on what a cluster you know what that is...and if needed, I'll take a pic of the milk and bread that's no longer there. :lol:

My company has started to cancel any pending work for this week in areas already hit by this weekends snow storm. This should become interesting to watch.

My ATV is up in VT. I may have to drive around in the Jeep for my motorized big snow fun in the flatlands.

Western NY fairs no better. This storm was talked up just this morning as potentially being our first storm of the year. FIRST storm. Everything on the ground out here (4 inches at best) is the remnant of lake effect. All the snow we have gotten is lake effect, so 1 hill is bare and the one 30 miles next to it is loaded.

What is with this magic boundary line that lets nothing move north of the NY border? I am sick of seeing Washington D.C. buried and thinking "you bastards.... that's my snow..... you stole my snow!"

You go Jersey!

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOUNT HOLLY NJ
838 AM EST MON FEB 8 2010


A WINTER STORM WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR ALL OUR AREAS STARTING LATER
TUESDAY AFTERNOON /21Z/ AND CONTINUED INTO WEDNESDAY EVENING /02Z
THURSDAY/. HPC WWD NUMBERS UP TO 2 FEET ARE NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF
POSSIBILITY,
BUT FOR NOW WE USED A STARTING POINT OF 14 TO 18 INCHES
OVER CENTRAL AND NORTHERN NEW JERSEY AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA.


Sounds exciting! I'm gonna bring some milk and eggs down to scalp.

But Albany, not so much:

NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ALBANY NY
355 PM EST MON FEB 8 2010

THERE IS STILL TIME FOR THINGS TO CHANGE AROUND...BUT IT IS LOOKING
MORE EVIDENT THAT MOST OF OUR REGION COULD AND WILL ESCAPE
SIGNIFICANT SNOW ONCE MORE.
HOWEVER...WE FELT IT WAS PRUDENT TO
HOIST A WINTER STORM WATCH (FOR POSSIBLE HEAVY SNOW) ACROSS OUR
SOUTHERN MOST THREE COUNTIES. THIS IS THE AREA THAT HAS A 50 PERCENT
CHANCE OF RECEIVING SNOWFALL 7 OR MORE INCHES WITH THE DEFORMATION
FROM THE SECONDARY COASTAL STORM PASSING WELL SOUTH OF LONG ISLAND.

And Taunton Mass is no help either

THIS TRACK WOULD BRING ACCUMULATING SNOW TO MOST OF
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WITH HIGHER AMOUNTS FOCUSED IN AREAS SOUTH OF
THE MASS PIKE.
07/21Z SREF POPS REFLECT THIS WELL AND WILL BE USED
FOR THIS PACKAGE. KEEP IN MIND THOUGH...A SHIFT IN THE TRACK WOULD
ALSO MEAN A SHIFT IN WHERE THE HIGHEST SNOW AMOUNTS WOULD BE FOUND.

This is my 6th winter in NJ. That's more than enough time to know that I'll believe it when I see it.

OK, you guys can have the snow there... but I want what DC / Baltimore / Virginia has been getting the past few weeks.
