Ok...well, I'll PM you if I'm heading up early. You staying at the GL? I haven't made lodging plans yet.
I'll be taking the day off on Thursday and Friday. Plan to ski MRG Thursday and SB Friday. Beer on Thursday sounds good.
I'm thinking the Smokehouse. They have a good selection of beers. Purple moon is a bit closer to GL, though.
Looking at the latest weather forecasts, I am no more than 50/50 on Bush this Friday. We'll see what happens but total accumulations following the rain don't look that high for the MRV, especially compared to Jay. Will report back with a definite call Thursday night once we start seeing some accumulation totals being posted.
The NAO did its best and our midweek storm is now indicated to track over southern Vermont as opposed to the St Lawrence Valley. Still, we have the glaring lack of fresh cold air on the front flank of this system and this will hurt us as far as Wednesday is concerned. As advertised, the storm will slow its eastward progress over Nova Scotia and this will allow for the extended period of enhanced TIS activity I was hoping for.
The specifics
After a few inches of wet snow early Wednesday, we get a period mixed sleet and rain which will persist into the evening. After that the precipitation becomes more showery (in the form of rain) until the passage of the storms associated front and the arrival of our long awaited supply of cold. The snow showers will intensify gradually and temperatures will become cold enough during the evening for an accumulation of powder. It is easy to land yourself way off course when trying to predict amounts in these situations but my best guess is anywhere from 4 to 10 inches between late Thursday and late Friday. Low level instability is actually indicated to linger through the weekend although the depth of the unstable layer is expected to gradually decrease. This essentially means the snow showers will become less frequent and will be less intense. Still, we could see flurries all the way through Sunday.
Timmy and I are chewing on the idea of heading up to Sugarbush this Saturday for a day trip, since we can't make Friday. Anyone going to be around still?

I'll be at Stowe on Saturday with the family for the $38 ticket deal for CSC members. Did you consider hitting Stowe?
I propose a meet-up of 11 am at the base of Heaven's Gate.
that's a good spot, you can get anywhere from there
