Or Cannon might end up making out good also, from the looks of it. For me, So. VT is alot closer, so I already told them not to expect me in work Monday if we get clobbered. I think I may hit Okemo on Monday as it's an easy drive for me and I can get a discount with my Century Pass.

Yeah, by the looks of it, the white mountains up through the river are looking really really really good. It does look like lots of places will get good stuff from this storm though....

I say my monday synoptic meteorology class takes a field trip to Mt. Washington (if we have classes):snow::snow::snow:

No pass, just cheap tickets at Liftopia. The original plan was just to ski at Whiteface and then Gore on Sunday and then going home. Now with a major storm coming and passes just bought at Boyne, we will be at Sunday River again sunday and monday.

I'll leave home around 6am be at Whiteface by 10ish, ski for 4-5 hrs and then take the ferry across Lake Champlain and on to Sunday River, such as it was last weekend, but now a ferry trip will shorten the drive.

I have heard scuttlebutt about 12-18" of snow in Maine.

I normally live for mid-week powder days, but no chance I can get days off next week due to scheduling decisions I made months ago. Too bad, what are the chances? Can't believe I am going to miss this one.

I wish everyone who is out skiing tomorrow and this weekend a great time and hope you get to enjoy some powder if possible.

Wow, how long of a drive do you think that will be to SR? I'll be up there Sunday but maybe I'll have to get a bunk at a hostile, call in sick and ski Monday too. Tempting, especially with plenty of sick time left.

HERE WE GO

From NWS:

THE HIGHEST SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE
IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF WESTERN AND CENTRAL MASS AND SOUTHERN NH
WHERE UP TO 6-12 INCHES MAY FALL WITH A FEW ISOLATED LOCATIONS
RECEIVING UP TO 15.

Can't wait to start listening to NOAA radio Sunday... love that computerized voice "A large low-pressure system will bring a potentially life and property threatening situation to New England tomorrow".

Winter Storm Watch now in effect for northern New England as well as western MA. Most of the rest of New England should get a Watch by tomorrow morning's update. Currently the snow is forecasted to arrive from west to east Sunday afternoon and moderate snow should come in with that Great Lakes storm. A coastal storm will form off the NJ coast Sunday night and track very close to coastal New England. The rain/snow line shouldn't go past I-495. This will cause banding snow around rush hour Monday morning with a chance for thundersnow and rates of 2-3" per hour. Monday afternoon, some more snow will wrap in behind the system as it pulls away, allowing for potentially more accumulation Monday night.
