1/28 Storm Discussion Thread

[KingM]

Yep, school is closed here. I've got *&#! work to do at the inn this morning, so we can't get out until 11:30, but my oldest son and I are going to brave the roads and head south to Middlebury for something a little different.

Just got the phone call...school's closed so I'm packing up the gear so the kids and I can spend this storm day at the mountain. Should be a hoot...my little guy will be able to go a bit bigger on his jumps, cause the soft snow doesn't hurt quite so much.

Nice! Doesn't get much better than that! Have a great time!

We've got a few inches of snow here; all the schools are shut. The big story will be the change over to sleet and freezing rain later today. Then the temps drop tonight. It'll probably be a good idea to clear off the driveway once the changeover happens. I don't want frozen block of snowment......

2 inches overnight on Burke Mt. should be followed by an EXTRA 16 inches according to a savvy chair-lift operator friend of mine who has the local "scoop". Local forecast calling up to 16 inches total for the ski-area. BOOOOM!!!

ETA: We are expecting only snow out of this storm up here. KILLER!!

Make sure you leave us some untracked in the woods. I can't get there until Saturday and it's killing me. Good luck getting up there!

I saw a forecast that said 14-22 for Cannon. Is it just me or has NH been just as good or better than VT this year.

About the same here with 2.5" and 21.8F. School here is closed for today.

It's been better than Southern VT for sure. Can't speak to the north.

Scott B has posted his final. He thinks no sleet north of Killington and possibly as much as 18" somewhere along the spine between there and I-89. His forecast is VT-centric; NWS-Gray now forecasting 10-16" in the Whites and NW Maine, nearly as much in central NH but with some sleet mixing there.

NWS has just up-lifted it's NH and ME forecast, while sticking with it's VT numbers. I think the Gray Maine office goes to bed early.....

I'm seeing much higher numbers forecasted now for the North Conway area: 10- 14 today, 7-11 tonight. If I do my math right, that's 17-25 in Mt. Washington Valley. Do I hear Black or Wildcat calling me?

Maine is gonna get the goods too. Bethel Maine is forecasted for 9-13 plus 8-12 = 17 to 25.
Scotty, warp speed.


Choices, choices, choices. This bears watching, gonna be an interesting day at the tube. I'll make up my mind tonight.

I can't speak from experience having not skied in VT yet, but if I were to guess what area has gotten the most snow so far this season, it would be Killington.

It's hard to tell with the Northern VT areas though. Stowe gets a number of 6-8 over night lake affect events that aren't in the forecast.

A co-worker of mine (nonskier) is out today sick...I really think I caught something she gave to me (cough) before she left yesterday (hack). Might not make it in tomorrow.

I've skied both, the greens have been better this season. That could change today.

checkout these charts, make up your own mind:

You really don't look well. Suggest you stay home tomorrow, just to play it safe, make sure nobody else at the office catches what you have. I'll vouch for you. 8)

[Greg]

22.5, closing in on 4" and snowing moderately heavy. Hoping the mix stays away as much as possible.
