Mt Holly has issued a Winter Storm Watch for up to 6-Inches of snow for Sat in the Pocono's (Blue and Camelback). TV showed a possible snow to mix to r@#N this morning. Hopefully we get the former and it extends up to Elk which I'm supposed to ski Sunday.

Yeah, NJ needs more snow too. You have to catch up with southern New England :snow:

Oh you should hear the whining down here Bill. I just care about NEPA and north. Yeah we're behind Sundown but some of the Pocono woods are skiable(rare) too and its been an incredible year down here.

Maybe 4" in SoVT according to NWS Albany. They're saying some mixing could occur? They'll confirm in the model runs this afternoon.

I like Winn's forecast better....3-5" of snow.

Probably low end though but leaving some wiggle room to cover any northward trends we've been seeing lately. It'll be close again on the mixing so we're just about the same on it...will tweak it this afternoon if needed.

So, the timing of this is more Saturday afternoon into evening than Saturday morning for So VT, correct? Trying to figure out this weekend's drive north. One heading to compete at Okemo on Saturday, two wanting to ski at Mt. Snow, but not till Sunday.

Yes, light snow breaking out across S VT late PM (maybe just after lunch) and mainly overnight so timing should work out for travel.

Thank you Glenn for the kind words and the link! Wow! :beer:

Had to share that one for ya.

Here's the interesting part...it looks like this is going to start in the AM down in CT. So I'm wondering if this will keep the day trippers from heading north. Either that...or everyone will come up tonight instead. :razz:

That's my dilemma. Drive with the masses tonight or deal with the snow mid day tomorrow. Think its going to be two vehicles this weekend to do both.

Thanks for the info Win!

We are taking 3 different cars arriving two different days, leaving for home 3 seperate days. I am skiing 3 different mountains, SR, Loon and Pats. I am still confused.

What is the time frame for the snow in the Southern Whites and the Western mountains of Maine? Please.

And to be completely honest, our 2-day forecast eventually worked out but not exactly how we planned. The 1st storm (Tues) gave us a bit more than expected while the 2nd (Wed) gave us a bit less. There was a time when I bumped it up to 15-20 for a day but took it back down. I believe we had 2-5" for Tues, plus 12-18" for Wed (total 14-23")...I think their 2 day total was about 19".

Mostly overnight and a bit into early Sunday AM...should be fringe light snow.

Yup. I'm thinking that I-91 North this evening won't exactly be my quickest ride ever :(
