1/7 Storm Discussion Thread

Leaning toward the Beast myself. Gonna keep an eye on the weather. If it's not bad tonight I may drive up to Mt. Snow. If I have to do a day trip I'm thinking the Beast. Of course where the snow hits will determine everything...........................................

i'm skiing tomorrow solo so i'm keeping it very flexible, waiting to see what happened.

Plattekill if the cats get hit hard
BEast if snow is a bit east
Magic is always a possibility when there is new snow
Sundown - i have my season pass. if the other options aren't great i'll just keep it local.

Still sunny here in Woburn, MA...

Sun actually just broke through the clouds in NE CT about 10 min ago

I'm likely what Steve Caporizzo and the Meterologists at the Albany area ABC affiliate are thinking about this storm!

And darn, if tommorrow morning at Mount Snow wouldn't be the 1st day of the season where season pass holders get the whole main face to themselves from 7:30 until 8 when mountain opens to the general public

1-1.5" so far in NW Jersey. Still coming down fairly hard, but it's a very fine sugary snow, so it takes a lot to accumulate.

While I'm going on the low end for VT/NH areas, Mount Snow sounds like a great choice (or Stratton/Bromley/Magic). Enjoy first tracks tomorrow! :beer:

I know Winn, the analytical side of my brain is all over the low end of those numbers(so much that in a friendly side bet with a few Mount Snow regulars and some Mount Snow admins, my bet for the storm total was the height of a pint glass :lol: ), but the emotional, powder loving side of my brain only sees that high number! :lol:

About 1.5" here so far still coming down pretty good. Time to head out the door, my son's school is closed today so I'm taking him skiing.

 

[gmcunni]

sunny in S CT. school cancelled, for what reason i have no idea.

 

[bheemsoth]

Not much here in the Hartford area of CT. I'm heading out for a run soon before the roads get slick.

Looks like the Stratton trip was a good choice for me tomorrow.

Enjoy I may head to the Pokes this pm myself. The futurecast this morning showed the snow pretty much ending here by now but its just ticked up again and the radar shows it still snowing in PA. One observation: the wind is dead calm right now and the snow is just sifting down creating quite the Currier & Ives sceneary.

WOW, at least for the Upper Conn River Valley of VT/NH I don't see anything even close to that happening, nor to all weather dudes around here on a local level and national level. I hope this guy is right, but I strongly doubt it. All indication is for a dusting to 3 inches.

Here too. Look at the radar. I'm calling bust. 3" tops.

 

[wa-loaf]

suns gone now. <shrug>

 

[gmcunni]

looks like the snow is just about to cross the NY border.. but the blue blob doesn't look big enough to drop much snow.

 

[jaywbigred]

I think we have at least 3-4 inches here in Jersey.

Anyone have thoughts on the post-work drive up the NY Thruway?

Other than people will be stupid?

Hahaha. I guess I meant plowing and such. We haven't had to drive up in a storm in years, though we drove home in one a few years ago from Sugarbush. It wasn't very good, but that was up north of Albany.

Ah the Thruway shuffle. You'll make it, just a little longer then usual.

The moisture, if we get it, will come in off the atlantic via the trough.
