You guys did well. We ended up only picking up about 7" or so. Enough to take the girls sledding this afternoon. It was a very nice powder...although, quite windblown in most places.

From what I see, Yawgoo in RI at 20-22". Though I pause to call it a "mountain". 310 feet in elevation and 260 feet vertical.
I suppose the Appalachians got the absolute most, but I don't think there is any lift-served.

Mountains did get hit by this in ME/NH/VT. If someone says that they did, they're lying.

mikestaple · Dec 20, 2009

16 to 18 of worthless snow down near the Cape. Stopped late afternoon today. Beautiful, light, fluffy powder.

At least the sledding was fantastic over at the local golf course.

billski · Dec 20, 2009

as expected...

Snowshoe in WV reported 24" Fri-Sat and another inch overnight last night. That's the biggest total I've seen for a ski area. Meanwhile, this TGR thread has a pic of a tele skier getting a near face shot at Whitegrass XC area in WV.

HIghest totals in NWS reports: 31.0 Quinwood WV, 28.0 Brownsburg VA, 27.5 East Patchogue (LI) NY, 27.0 Hot Springs VA, 26.3 at the NWS office in Upton (LI) NY.

Back from Southern VT! It's very cold this weekend. 0" of snow! However, the storm kept a lot of people away from Mt. Snow Sunday.
