Might be joining you. Hope it's an overperformer...

MWS Albany has upped us to 4-8". Taunton is not on board with that yet. However, both offices are indicating calm wind through tonight which is a good thing. With the current snow pack as crusty as it is, it could easily all blow off. If the 4"+ materializes, I should be there for first or an early chair. Missed the epic storm, but hope to get a piece of this one. Even though this is much smaller, 4-8" over the N'E and Ex bumps, the new course on Stinger/Ex and with a solid base in the woods, there should be plenty to keep me occupied.

Channel 3 said about 10 minutes ago that locally, some areas of NW CT could get 10" or more.

Madroch · Jan 20, 2011

Things seem to be trending slightly better-- I figure 4 or more on the ground will drag me to the hill early for at least a couple of hours. I don't think we should have too much trouble keeping occupied. :snow:

Listen to you. :lol: "4 or more on the ground will drag me to the hill"....

Spoiled by that big dump a few weeks ago. Before that 2" would get us all excited.... :razz:

LOL at Greg- spoiled indeed-like I'm a rwgular powder hound. Reality is I need enough to justify a late arrival to work... 4 should do it..

while the NWS hasnt said it yet, Joe Furey on wtic 1080 said, at lunchtime, that the storm is now bigger and closer then this mornings projection. He said statewide 5"-10" and he also said that the model that did best with the monster dump 2 weeks ago was actually calling for over a foot of snow. we could be in it deep again.

Grassi pulling the trigger on a vacation day/? Tough call. I'n not sure I would burn a day for this storm-- at least not this winter. Last winter definately, but things get interesting again next week.....and tomorrow may bust low....

WJenness · Jan 20, 2011

Taunton went up on estimates...

Waiting for anything better might not be the smartest move either.
