I always appreciate the "What's ahead" updates on Friday evenings.

"Tree in the road north of Greenfield!"

I hate being stuck behind the sanding trucks.

7-14 forecast for Burke! Burke also extended their closing and will open for 4/8-4/9 week-end!

LOL! Yup, that tree down in the left lane between exit 23/24 text I sent you a few weeks ago, most definitely wasn't the usual "Springfield Traffic SUCKS!" or "Stupid line of slow moving Priuses getting off in Northhampton" ones!

:lol:

Anyone hear about a crashed propane truck on rte 7? I heard something but can't confirm and am not sure if it will be cleaned up by tomorrow.

Triggered pulled on the vacation day. Two more powder days, love it!

It's being branded the "April Fool's Day Storm"

It wouldn't be the first. There was an April Fool's Day storm that covered all of New England sometime in the last decade. I can't remember which year.

April snow for the mountains is pretty common. We seem to get a big one in April every three years or so.

NOAA Albany is forecasting 11 inches for the Mount Snow area .

Timing is the problem. When should I head north from CT?. Will it be better to wait and leave Friday evening since most heavy snow will fall during the day Friday?

I am worried about Saturday wind holds too.

It was in 1997...

Main thing I remember is that it was the first time I had my mailbox nailed by a plow truck. That wasn't the last time, however...

There's actually a double punch coming. The Friday Nor'Easter with another powerful storm early next week.

Looks like accuweather shifted their 6-12 inch range about 30ish miles to the east. Good for New Hampshire, not so good for Whiteface. Maybe I'll just head to Hunter of Platty this weekend instead of Whiteface, looks like the Catskills are going to be in that 6-12 inch sweetspot.

RootDKJ · Mar 30, 2011

6+" at Camelback.

2knees · Mar 30, 2011

8 to 16 now... But... I don't trust spring.. We'll see - at least I'm home for this.

This Friday: "Prius in the ditch......old person in a 90's Subaru wagon driving 45 in the left lane" :lol:

This looks like it should deliver for Mount Snow! But like mlctvt brings up a good point on the wind holds. Maybe we can get to the top via the Local...oh...wait a second...... :razz:

WinnChill · Mar 31, 2011

VT, NH, and ME forecasts are updated. Certainly ballparking around a foot--some less, a few a bit more possible. Easterly winds will be strong in the AM (possible wind holds) but they'll be starting to let up as they shift around in the PM. As we were mentioning on our Facebook page, probably fresh track across southern VT Friday AM as snow moves in from south to north (and wraps in)...if you're waiting for Saturday, freshies probably for ME resorts as light snow/showers taper off Friday night/Sat AM.

Enjoy!

There are several things we need to tweak on the site--forecasting duties shift those items to the backburner.
