NICE! More stuff to get us pumped! It never hit 60 here today in Leicester and the wind is blowing from the south, so this might be the most "warmth" we see for a while. However, Friday is kind of the worst day for me to have snow as we have stuff going on. It was my first flakes prediction though.

Key words to note in this forecast: high mountains in North. i.e. Jay, Mansfield, Camel's Hump, etc. Probably a trace or so. Good sign, esp considering that it has been so warm as of late.

 

[Zand]

It just says high mountains, it doesn't say anything else besides VT. Who knows, maybe even the high elevations of MA will get it. I wish. :wink:

 

[Strat]

I see white-crested peaks...

 

[thetrailboss]

Pretty much the Whites as well...

Keep the dream alive!

I just had my boots on for 1/2 and hour. Does that mean I have a problem? I mean, other than the problem of there being no snow yet...

 

[Strat]

I've had my new snowboard boots on for over 4 hours at a time on more than one night in the last 3 weeks. It's fine.

Weatherbug forecast for my area Thursday night:

Thursday night: Cloudy with showers. A slight chance of mixed precip. late. Low in the lower 30s.

Friday: Partly cloudy and very windy. Highs in the lower 50s. :lol:

If it happens, it will happen on the exact 1 year anniversary of last year's first flakes, the first time I've ever seen snow in September! Will it happen 2 years straight? Friday looks like a late October day.

Ive got 35 with "itermittent (sp?) showers" thursday night. Bah. I think there should be somethin else thrown in there.

 

[severine]

Darn! I got all excited until I re-read it and realized it was for Vermont. :x I knew we should have moved north!

Slight Chance Mountain Snow!

Hey, I'll take it!

snow in forecast

I am hearing Saturday afternoon, overnight, and into Sunday wet snow (flurries?)in higher elevations. Trailboss- you keep an eye out up north and Lostone, Strat and I will keep a weather eye open. Wonder if this will be the measurable 2"?

To early for optimism. Or I guess that's a way to say I'm still a pessimist --- I don't think there will be plenty of waist deep powder on every slope until early/ mid November.

 

[riverc0il]

who needs waist deep right now? i'll settle for 2" under my feet... that's just enough to go outside and do a snow dance on top of! :lol:

Be careful about Weatherbug.....its SPYWARE. Better off with Weather Channel or Accuweather.

i still stand by that it will be a very warm october, but november will be cold

so, dont expect too much too soon

we also need it to be wetter, we are in quite a dry spell
