I like this map. This storm will be a nowcast based on temperatures. If this storm goes east a bit snowfall could really come up.

Look for a hellacious thump of snow on the front end at first, then a dry slot with rain showers to moisten up the pack. After we get slotted, back edge snows should race back in as the storm pivots back around.

That's my interpretation.

This is going to be one of those weird ones where Pico get a foot but Killington mixes with rain and gets 5" or vice versa. Location is everything and with the dry slots and warm air went won't know who gets what until it falls. Last year in March I remember Stratton and Bromley got 8-10", meanwhile Magic got 4" and a ton of ice. Wait and see....

This would be a good scenario from this mess. Long duration backend snow for parts of northern new england hopefully. Snows on and off the rest of the week too.

First accumulation map I've seen.

Looks like 18-24" around Wildcat. I'll take the southern VT totals though.

Yeah, there havent been many guesses yet, which shows you the high level of uncertainly the mets have in sticking their necks out.

Here's one from a NYC met.

And here's one from spawn of Bastardi (without inches).

EURO draws the mixline south, now oriented from Waterville to Sunapee to Mt Snow.

Maybe good and white or maybe bad and wet.. Time will tell

Gore or Whiteface look like the winners. Heck, even the Catskills could do real well depending on the temps.

Totals are much lower than when I went to bed last night. Wildcat/Cranmore/BW area was in 18-24", Cannon area was 14-18", Crotched, Ragged, Sunapee were all 10-14", and all of southern VT, from K south was in 14-18". Forecast for northern VT looks the same. A lot can change for the good or the bad. But I will not complain about 10-14". :beer:

The NY sites are more optimistic this morning, especially for southern VT and trending north. Couldn't find a good graphic but 14-18", 18-24" range for Hunter area.

Keep in mind all, this isn't a delightful powder skiing event, this is a heavy wet sloppy cement base-building storm. Which is exactly what everyone needs.

Hmm...was going to ski Tuesday, crash at Sunday River, and ski Wednesday too but Wednesday is looking pretty wet. Tough one. Wonder how the winds will be, too.

Not true. Bretton Woods has an excellent firm base already. I was in the ungroomed and glades all day on Sunday without a problem. Cover is good enough that I am going to be taking out the news skis for this storm. Throw a foot on powder on top and it would be amazing.
