Just got done plowing with the tractor. In southern NH about an hour ago, it started hero dumping. :-D Got like an inch of nice big fluffy stuff. Hoping we can get another inch or two or the noice stuffages before it stops.

An inch of "Hero Snow". Isn't that an oxymoron? Hehehehe.....

We had about 3 inches of fluffy powder yesterday morning in Conway, allowing for an awesome start to the day at Wildcat. Toward noon, the wind started to pick up a bit, and it started sleeting more. Getting pelted in the face with sleet is always awesome.

Nice conditions for the day, but they desperately need more snow. Lot of rock exposed on trails I skied just three weeks ago.

Drive home to mass. was a little slow on 16, mostly for getting stuck behind plows. speed limit ride in Mass.

Champlain Valley/Middlebury Area got maybe an inch or two new, and lots of icing and r&*n. It was pretty much a bust for us. Sugarbush is reporting 8" new, and from what I hear it was 8" of wet snow which is what we needed to cover up the mess from a couple weeks ago.

In Rutland it was almost all r&*n. We did get a token inch or so of snow yesterday, and today we got a quick 2-3 inches. It is really dark up over Killington, so I hope they got some snow.

Word has it that we have another storm on the way for Tuesday-Wednesday. Hoping it is all snow.

I try not to post from work, but couldn't resist. It's been positively dumping here in SoVT for the past 1.5 hours, probably 2-3 inches of beautific powder in that time, plus the 2 or so that fell last night after the icing stopped. The radar image looks like were at the end of a huge band of lake effect snow...I know that we don't get lake effect way over here, but thats what the intellicast radar looks like. The esp. great part for me is that I'm going to get to ski for a couple hours this afternoon with the first day of my son's school ski program. Nice!

Euler--Roger Hill on WDEV said that this was a Lake Effect band from Lake Ontario that is impacting us. Pretty cool, huh?

today on Burke Mt. it was awesome. 5-6 inches of powder and snowed throughout with some sleet mixed with snow at times. Stopped snowing around 2pm and now its started again about an hour ago and has left 2 more already. Local forcast calling for an additional 4-6.


I'm all ears. Burke antenna up! 4-5 today, 3 yesterday. Did the 4-5 yesterday obviate the sleet? If you get out today, I'd love to hear about it.

Yep I plowed again just now for the 4th time in a day and a half.

-- IT's all powder i'd estimate about 12-13" BUT we're going to get some LES today altho not that much 2-3 inches. Our regional ski area Titus Mtn an hr 15 min distant in the Northern Dacks got 8 inches of pow

BUT our winds are supposed to be 30 -35 mph which will make driving really INTERESTING with all this lite pow Tug Hill Plateau is getting blasted - area schools are closed - can u say SNOW RIDGE Ski area :D

I guess the snow falling today is still part of this 1/6-1/7 storm? Mount Snow is reporting 10-12" today and they've opened almost all of their natural trails. Should be great skiing this weekend!

I have been watching that too. I'm considering hitting the woods at Mt. Snow or using my free Stratton ticket. Still looking. If I had more time, it would be NVT. Have to decide between work and skiing. Is there a choice?

Today was the best day of the year so far on Burke Mt. by a mile. We were greeted to a fresh 8 inches of fluffy stuff upon dismounting from first chair. The day just kept getting better, and better and better. By about 1 hour into the day it started to DUMP, covering almost all of the previous shreds and tracks. By 3pm we had an additional 3-5 solid. Today was magestic to say the least.
