27th-28th Storm Potential

Hmmm,12 hours of heavy snowfall starting Sunday night. I wonder if that will be enough to close my office Monday in Providence.

You're coming down with a cold, right? :wink:

this group generally starts looking pretty sickly at about this point. I suggest you get to the store, get some decongestants, tissues, tylenol and a full tank of gas



Winn, have you been out yet?? You owe it to yourself!

cough, cough, oh wait I'm on vacation I feel great!

Not yet but will try for later this week with my oldest boy--somewhere close like Crotched or Sunapee. We're going to get one more pond skating session in today before clearing it off tomorrow.

Pats on today along with storm tracking makes for a perfect Sunday afternoon!

Bill that is exactly what I was thinking reading Winn Chill's post. I'm packing now and heading up to Magic with the kids early tomorrow morning for the week. I hope it dumps on us

Southern VT through most NH and ME should get the heaviest. The drifting will be tough to gauge accumulations but I'm hoping NE facing slopes of NH/ME hitting paydirt (Gunstock/Bretton/Cannon/Waterville, maybe Sunapee) Sunday/SL too but I edged Saddle down a bit due to NW slopes.

I'm looking at gustock tomorrow as it's close. I know it will be windy, my question is will the wind effect lifts at a relatively low lying place like gunstock?

I don't see a lot of Gunstock chatter on this forum. You might want to contact "Gunstock" who appears to work there. PM me if you need the address.

The problem will be the shifting winds on Monday--expecting to shift from NE to NW which would cut across the slopes for the afternoon (still substantial even at 2300') getting those chairs to rock pretty good. Doppelmayr lift is sort of tucked in a bit midway up if I recall but figure it will still be troublesome at the top.

Just in from Gunstock...

"Wind thresholds vary and because of it being a ‘Noreaster, it comes directly at us. We have some lifts that are well sheltered and the CTEC detach holds up well. The Tiger lift can be susceptible when the winds moves over our notch."

Maybe the Doppelmayr hi-speed quad (CTEC) could do ok later on but suspect issues in the morning, then Tiger in the PM.
