How does the setup for this one differ from the April Fools Day storm? Just trying to get reassurances that this won't blow up into another 2' dump in the Boston area...

I think today would be a great day for everyone to hit the carwash. That'll help things along.

Snow tires are still on and the car hasn't been washed. But I did take the roof box of yesterday. :beer:

The snowblower is being moved from in my garage into my storage shed tonight, and then while I'm out in the shed, I'll start up the lawn tractor, lawn mower and weed whacker to prep them for imminent use! That will help. Car wash happening at lunch time too! :lol: :snow:

I just heard this could be "extremely wet" snow. I'm not sure I've ever heard a weatherman use that term before. Not sure what that would mean for the skiing?

Another sign that this will deliver. The town my office is in is out like crazy today with the street sweepers cleaning up the winters supply of road sand!

Agreed! If the timing of this thing moved up about 6 hours, that would be a BIG plus for the road crews with respect to the late PM/early evening travelers on Friday

I'm thinking just bag Friday and drive up Thursday night! I love being a self-employed person who has no issues pulling her kids from school for fun. :smile:

Smart move! You can always hear how bad the drive was Friday after I post about it. :lol:

for Downtown Rangeley:

Today & Tomorrow: low 40s
Friday thru Sunday: 36F-38F Highs.....think up on the mountain(Saddleback, and over on SL) it should be dry-enough snow...

The hope that I'm holding out for is that a key component of the accumulations of this storm will be an elevation dependent event, and if that's the case, the 1st 110 of my 140 mile ride won't be too bad, the last 30 could be "fun" though ;) :lol: :rolleyes:
