Bailing on Hunter today.

Roads look too awful. Not taking my chances on I-84, which has a habit of closing and getting motorists stranded for hours.

May xc ski in the golf course next door. ;)

Mt snow 10, okemo 21, more on the way!

. Apparently they don't bother to send the info to the skiVT conditions webpage. Stowe 1".?

Based on the photos the the Mount Snow mtn ops twitter feed has posted this morning, WAY more than 10" there. They reported 18" and still coming down hard at about 6:30.

Lots of pics on my social media feeds of my friends up there now with what looks to be a good 15-18" on their various back decks, patio tables, grills, etc

10-11 inches here about 4 miles from the Vail owned, and still not open, Roundtop Mountain.

Better than I thought since we were in the sleet zone for a while.

I’ve been looking at web cams. Some stretches look fine. Some looks worse. I think by afternoon should be all clear.

Was thinking of extending my trip to Hunter to Thur, but wasn't sure if the back roads over to Windham, where I was staying, were passable. Plus, I had skis for ice. Drive back to the city was pretty bad, mostly because people going extremely slow and shifting between the lanes all over the hwy. I was half asleep in the first part of the drive and was concerned about staying awake the whole way, but was fully alert by the time snow accumulated.

Friend of mine at Okemo sent pictures, 34" on his deck. No one can get to the mountain to work. Just Quad A running.

Holy snow! Any ski areas out that way,?
Yes, was planning on Greek, they got 16", but the plow hasn't been by yet, so I'm stuck. Driveway cleared, car clean, two feet in the road. I've got a WRX with Blizzaks, but it ain't happening

Similar situation for me. In an hr, I’m going out in my xc ski gear to tour my complex.

But really hoping the plow will come by before that, so I can drive to the nearby park that has better trails.

This is pretty much the only thing State of New Jersey does right. We can get 36", and by the next morning the roads are blacktop. We must have more salt trucks & plows per-capita than any state in the nation.

Pennsylvania, however, that's another story. When you drive to the Poconos from New Jersey after a snow day you literally "see" the state border from far away, which is the only time you can see a typically invisible line.

2' at Belleayre and Plattekill.

Belle tomorrow and Platty on Saturday. Not going to try today, about a foot to clear out of my driveway but roads seem passable now.

Platty opens Sat and Belle on a delay site says still not open for skiing today. Ha glad I didn't try to go today.

Maybe out in your part of NJ they do a good job...by me in Bergen county it is terrible!

It’s tough to tell hove much I got, it was blown around even though it was not as light and fluffy like I thought it would be.
