Mt. snow is reporting 6" new natural as of 11:15am. NWS boston has cranked up the western mass numbers to as much as 10". Albany is still showing anemic forecast number, they must be asleep at the wheel. So. VT and Berkshires could hit a nice little jackpot here.

I was following some car with New Mexico plates, here in town. He made a left turn and did a 180 right in front of me.
Obviously this person person hasn't spent enough time in Taos :)

Crazy. 2 days ago this was a "chance of light snow", predictions of 2-4" were the max. Yesterday they grew to 4-6" and now 8-12"!

Yep - dry snow. And it's almost like a ground blizzard right now. 11 degrees and roaring wind. Nice night to stay in. The lobsters get murdered in about 10 minutes.

about 4" of really light, dry powder here in dutchess county. I wish my backyard still had a base, this would be some great snow to shred.

Amazingly light snow! Couple that with wind that things were pretty interesting last night. The big story overnight was the wind. I got up around 4AM (thank you cold!) to clear my nose and checked the weather station....-11. That's chilly for this part of New England.
