If I'm reading the radar right, Sundown has been in the middle of that inverted trough for at least a couple hours now ... how vigorously might they groom it out if there's a substantial dump overnight? Anyone from here know anything about the place? :D

foot here in sw ct. stopped now. great fluffy powder. i was out driving and on the unplowed roads i was getting face shots on the windshield :-D

We got close to 5" IN my neck of SW CT - Wilton. This storm is definitely not laying an even blanket of snow across the land.

Rep Chris said they would not groom the natty snow but also that they were UBER busy and that it may not be too much pow...? Hope that helps bro.

Looks like we'll get it in the 2 pm hour based on radar. Atlantic moisture or not, I'm calling 3" max.

BUST!

I guess technically they'll be right here too. Forecast is 3-7". I'm betting it will be the lower end of the range.

Well, i was kinda right. The beloved institution found itself in a major snow hole apparently tonight. Sundown picked up 3-4" maybe. I came home to 10+ inches. :blink: WTF?

Most definitely not.

Whiteface reporting 3" past 24 hrs as of early am 1/8. Central Dacs, Long Lake, Tupper Lake got about 1" in the past 36 hrs as of 11 :30 am today. Sun was out most of yesterday, few brief periods of dust. Sun was strong enough this am to warrant sunglasses driving east. Local TV station had us in the 8-14" band, what a joke.

Solid day at Stratton today. There was probably 5 inches on the ground this AM with flurries through much of the day. The new snow held up well despite the crowds, and bumped up nicely after lunch.

The EBN(Emergency Broadcast Newtwork) interupted the tv broadcast a few minutes ago with a winter storm warning of up to 12" by tomorrow morning. I'm pretty skepitical but the last two days we have received more than forecast and this storm so far as been a pleasant surprise. Very few wind holds today but the resort lost power for about 10 minutes in the late afternoon. I'm going to jinx fate and give myself extra time tomorrow morning to get to work.
