ah..im back. people making possible life and death decisions based on weather hero benedict gomez. this is perfect. make your decision of whether to drive in a possible blizzard based on a guy who has no meteorological education/experience....really good idea.

Maybe we should listen to a guy who only posts when he is trying to win free shit.

You're a total buzzkill. This is a ski forum and these are my FAVORITE threads- speculation and excitement surrounding snow storms. Now here's a wallet-sized photo for your enjoyment.

Guys, stop with the drama. Most of us are here to get good information and this banter/drama is cluttering it up.

At this point I think there should be one thread for maps and analysis to be posted, and another thread for storm banter and this "I hope x ski area gets hammered" crap.

A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
I'm leaving from Brookfield CT (right above Danbury, first CT exit on I-84) at 6am tomorrow. I'm going to Jiminy Peak via 22. How hard will it be snowing when I leave? Should I leave earlier? Will I be able to get to my Pittsfield hotel from Jiminy (around 6pm)? And finally, will the snow be done at 8am Friday when I drive to Mount Snow?

Thanks!

Agreed. I am surprised Scotty hasn't asked you how much for Platty? I would try to spell it out like Scotty but my computer won't let me type like that :dunce:

Better late than never. What took them so long is the only question.

Winter tires ? Don't want to start a debate, but winter tires are more important than 4WD in such conditions.

Now you've done it, thread gets to 1001 pages.
