2/10 Storm Discussion Thread

If we get dumped on here in CT tomorrow, will Sundown still do their evening grooming? I'd love for the chance to ski some pow at Sundown, but would be hesitant to risk the trip if it's going to be groomed.

Sundown usually leaves powder alone. They might groom Tom's and some other trails, but I doubt we'd see any grooming on Gunbarrel.

If they get the goods, and you said Friday, I might join you!

Also thinking Magic friday if it pans out a northern track

Dear Stop & Shop Team,

Please help me. I am too fearful to leave the house now. I need eight gallons of milk, and twelve loaves of bread. Please deliver them as quickly as you can, as I am close to death. When you arrive, please shovel the driveway and walk. I will also need a ride to church on Sunday, and a ride to bingo on Friday.

I understand that I might lose power. I would appreciate if you would loan me a generator. Can you please have it here by 6pm?

Oh and my dog needs to get outside , but it is too frightful, so please come by tomorrow morning and walk him.

I'm almost out of cash, since it's too difficult to get to the bank, so I'd appreciate a $100 advance to hold me over in this time of crisis.

Thank you. I am here for you as you are for me in these troubled time.

Sincerely,

A faithful customer

You know what's gonna happen don't you? You'll hit six inches of pow and totally stall out at Blue Hill!

Right now, the fall off between jackpot and not much is pretty dramatic, where over 50 to 75 miles of Latitude, you could see one place with 15"+ and 75 miles North of there only 3 or 4"

That is the gods honest truth Dr Jeff, take it from me. Last Saturday Root was enjoying 6-8 inches of powder at Blue Mountain while just 15 miles to his northeast we got a 1/2" coating at Camelback.

Life as we know it is coming to an end! We are in the 5" forecast range. The company fitness center issued this alert: [FONT=&quot]

"Due to the impending snowstorm for tomorrow, I have decided to cancel tomorrow's Yoga class from 11:30-12:15 as well as Massage therapy. "

Maybe she's taking a powder day????

That's too funny! I had no idea they did that! I bet they stocked up on bread and milk.

Super Wal-Mart in Wallingford was fairly quiet after work. I was actually able to get everything on my list...even some extra hand warmers to bring up north this weekend.

I did LOL when I ran to the bank today though...the gas station was pretty busy!

Up that number a bit with what the latest models are showing! Starting to look like the area from basically NYC North to about the Mass Pike and East to Boston is going to be the winner, and with the likely total melted precip amounts approaching 2", with anything resembling a drier snow, much of CT will be getting ateast a foot with a few places likely getting into the 18-24" range if the storm keeps trending like it appears to.

Sounds better. Right now, my guess is out here in the Eastern part of CT is the most likely to get above 18", the mighty Sundown could very well end up in the 10-18" range. The really good thing, is the part of the storm coming up the coast that will merge with the part coming out of the Great Lakes area seems to early on have a bunch more energy than originally thought as evidenced by an impressive line of Thunderstorms setting up over NC/SC now! The more energy that part brings to the table when the two merge, the bigger the potential of this storm!

Going to be fun to watch this storm really start developing over the next 8 to 12 hours! As of now, though looking good for CT!

 

[bdjeep]

Looking better for MA and parts of southern VT/NH.
