Update - Accuweather saying 6-12 will now extend up to Burlington with central VT over a foot... Based on GFS coming in line with Euro, many say catskills could see 20". Everyone is going to do great!!!


Just did some incredible acrobatics to clear up my schedule Friday. Woohoo !!!

I bet schools around here try to avoid a snowday. They go early release tomorrow and hope the storm is done by 7 am Friday. Plan will go poorly I'm sure!

I absolutely need those blizzard conditions along Boston to maintain into Friday morning. Hope the storm slows down a bit. I have mandatory participation unless canceled :-o

That's not indicative of NE though, correct? The high will have moved off shore a bit and may not pull down as much col air. Is that correct?

O yeah, CEO just said work from home tomorrow, possibly Friday. I am thinking my house will have a power outage, and all cell tower communication will be lost. Can't wait for all the TR's.

With a departure window opening tomorrow afternoon, when makes the most sense to leave Boston for Northern VT? Was hoping to go tomorrow afternoon but wondering if it makes more sense to wait and leave friday AM. But for a young child in the car, I would leave as early as possible and deal with slow conditions.

Is this a serious post?

Serious post. would leave right now but would not have a job to come back to.

Thursday afternoon will be the height of the storm, so unless you are comfortable with white knuckling it to VT Friday morning would be your best option.

Tonight however would be best ...

This storm is really bad. A lot of NWS predictions of 6" to 8" etc... are going to bust on the downside. There will be near blizzard conditions (i.e. snow + high wind) in places.

I just ran this GEMG pane. This is what you'd be projected to be driving in and through......with a small child in the car. Snowfall rates of likely 1.5" to 2" per hour, maybe more.
