First Inch Contest

[Zand]

Thought this might be something fun to do. We could have 2 guesses for this, one somewhere up here in northern VT, perhaps even right here, and maybe another at Greg's house or something.

My guesses:

Lyndonville - October 19th
Central CT - December 3rd

Let it snow!!!

I'm going to say Oct. 1, top of Mansfield and Jay.

OK, I'm cheating -- I just read the NWS-Burlington forecast discussion, including this:

BY WED EVENING...WE SHOULD BE DOWN TO -3 TO -4C AREA WIDE
BEFORE FINALLY BOTTOMING OUT AROUND -6C THURSDAY MORNING WITH MAIN
COLD POOL ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER LOW. AS THE COLDER AIR FILTERS
IN...THE FREEZING LEVEL WILL FALL. IN GENERAL THIS ALSO MEANS THE
SNOW LEVELS WILL BE COMING DOWN...PERHAPS AS LOW AS 1500FT
THURSDAY MORNING. HOWEVER MOISTURE PROFILES DO NOT SHOW THAT
MOISTURE WILL BE DEEP ENOUGH THE ENTIRE TIME TO REACH THE -10C
LEVEL AND GET SOME ICE CRYSTAL DEVELOPMENT...WHICH IS NEEDED FOR
GOOD SNOWFLAKE DEVELOPMENT. IN THOSE CASES...WE MAY BE LOOKING
AT SOME RIMING CONDITIONS OR PERHAPS SOME SNIZZLE (me: Snizzle? Fo'SHIZZLE!)
ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
IN ANY EVENT A COUPLE OF INCHES OF SNOW BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON IS STILL EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGHER SUMMITS SUCH AS MARCY...WHITEFACE...JAY PEAK AND MT MANSFIELD.

Actually Mt Washington may have VT beat. The Observatory's summit forecast indicates rain showers turning to mostly snow showers tonight into tomorrow. Doesn't specify potential accumulation though.

I still have a lot of fall fishing to do but this has me very psyched for what lays beyond.
