nobody has commented on the potential for Maine. It looks pretty sweet.

Scott thinks the NWS is being too bullish, but sticks with high numbers nonetheless.

"
I think the NWS is a little bullish with some of their numbers,
though make no mistake this will be another moderate to significant
snowfall. The mountains will take the brunt of it with excellent upslope
conditions later Monday and Monday night. Here's the Point and Click
forecast for the Green Mountain spine between Mansfield and Bolton...there
are some impressive snowfall numbers in here:

Today: Snow, mainly after 1pm. The snow could be heavy at times. High near
26. South wind between 5 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total
daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.

Tonight: Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 12. Wind chill
values as low as zero. North wind between 8 and 17 mph, with gusts as high
as 33 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 7 to 11
inches possible.

Monday: Snow showers. High near 12. Wind chill values as low as -7.
Blustery, with a northwest wind between 18 and 21 mph. Chance of
precipitation is 90%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.

Monday Night: Snow showers likely. Cloudy, with a low around 4. Wind chill
values as low as -11. Blustery, with a northwest wind between 15 and 20 mph."
Chance of precipitation is 60%.

I bet Powder writes a stoke-piece on this weather event in one of the early 09-10 season issues.

Pulled the trigger! Headed up to Saddleback in the next hour or so. What's one more day off of work anyway? Fingers crossed that the winds hold off. Id really hate to get shut down twice in one week. Oh well.....TR to follow.......

Stowe is getting pounded on..3-4 inches so far in town..but dumping big fat flakes..and the bulk is expected to fall overnight..

 

[wa-loaf]

Still raining, but from the radar it looks like the snow is only about 10 miles away.

 

[SkiingInABlueDream]

Light snow in the AM , started dumping mid day at Sugarbush, reports of 9" in the last 24 hours. Today was Powder Day 4. Expecting A LOT of snow tonight into tomorrow AM

Fantastic conditions at MRG this afternoon. Fresh snow everywhere, woods stuffed full of the good stuff, huge, fluffy mounds forming all over the place. The new stuff from the sky was light but steady at first, turning to heavy snow toward the end of the day.

All snow at cannon today; I would say a healthy 4-6'' accumulated on the hill prior to 4:00. Temperature in the car was 33 when i left tramside around 4:00. Roads were clear until around ashland where the 93 was suddenly snow covered and there were multiple cars off the road in a ten mile stretch. Approximatley from concord to manchester, big fat flakes that were melting on contact and then all rain south of manchester. 40 degrees currently in exeter.

 

[deadheadskier]

2-3 inches in the afternoon at Wildcat, dumped the whole way home until Rochester at which point it switched over to heavy rain.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

dumping an inch a minute in Stowe..

Real mad, had work all set for tomorrow, was staying another night. Got back to the house from Jay (not significant snow during 9-1 session) and wife had kid and bags packed. Roads were ok 1st 20 mins of ride, got a pizza in Stowe, once I hit 89 it was a shit show. Interstate was a mess, really wanted to turn around, by the time we hit Randolph she wanted to, at that point I was not turning around. 4 1/2 hours from Montgomery, vt to Concord, awful. There on (I am still in car after 6+ hours) heavy rain/snow mix, roads are clear, shes driving and I am watching elmo in backseat w/ kid. Probably saw 3-5 rollovers on 89 in NH, another 6-10 cars in the ditch. The plows in NH are rediculous, 3-4 wide, 20mph. In VT you can't even keep up with the plows. People were too afraid to pass them, I bet we lost 45 mins being stuck in the plow block. just talked to friends in Stowe and they laughed at going home.

Was at Black Mountain today and it started to snow late in the morning, and by 4 there was 4 inches. In Berlin, NH now and am going to start driving to N. Woodstock in about an hour or so. Has anyone here gone through the notch tonight?

BTW can't wait to give a TR for Black Mountain, that place was a blast!

 

[ERJ-145CA]

It was very disappointing here, we had some snow falling but it never stuck so our total is 0". I noticed the upper 1/3 of the mountains around here had snow on them. What do I expect, it is Jersey.

not to fret. i talked to the voodoo lady and she assures me that our day is coming in early march. she said specifically that upper breakneck, upper helenbeck, lower helenbeck, and kurly kue will be smokin. she also said that devils bit, pipeline, zero g, the eagles, great northern and it's lower extremities at creek will be the same. then i woke up it was all a dream. keep the faith, the voodoo lady has been right so far, I'm betting she's right again, this time for us. if it happens i'll buy you a cocktail. deal?
