This is a "get in position and wait" situation. Packing my bag now: powder boards, rain gear, hiking boots. Covering the bases.

The good news is that the base, although thin, is solid. 6+ would open up a world of possibilities.

A picture is worth several inches of snow..

a little mixing down south, but not enough to worry

No maps for NH yet, but the discussion sounds promising:

IT NOW LOOKS AS THOUGH THE FORCING FOR ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
WAVE WILL WEAKEN AS IT APPROACHES AND CROSSES THE AREA FRIDAY
MORNING. THEREFORE...THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION WITH THIS WAVE IS
NOW GENERALLY EXPECTED TO FALL ACROSS SOUTHERN NY AND THE
NORTHERNMOST MID ATLANTIC. THERE STILL SHOULD BE A BURST OF DECENT
SNOW FRIDAY...ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNING ACROSS SOUTHERN ZONES AND
IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE MOUNTAIN ZONES. BASED ON THE ANALYSIS OF
ALL AVBL 00Z DATA...THE MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS FOR AN ADVISORY-
TYPE EVENT FOR MUCH OF THE AREA ON FRIDAY...WITH A GENERAL 2 TO 5
INCH SNOWFALL EXPECTED. A FEW SPOTS IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS WILL
PROBABLY REACH THE 4-8 INCH RANGE BUT WE FEEL THAT THE SPARSE
COVERAGE OF THESE AMOUNTS PRECLUDE THE ISSUANCE OF A WATCH AT THIS
TIME.

SECONDARY LOW PRESSURE THEN TAKES OVER IN THE GULF OF MAINE FRIDAY
NIGHT...BUT THE BEST FORCING WITH THIS FEATURE LOOKS TO PASS JUST
TO THE EAST OF THE GYX CWA. HOWEVER...LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL
PROBABLY CONTINUE FOR A GOOD PORTION OF THE NIGHT ACROSS THE
AREA...ESPECIALLY THE MID COAST AND THE MOUNTAINS AS THE PRIMARY
UPPER LOW MOVES THROUGH. UPSLOPE SNOWS WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE
THROUGH SATURDAY IN THE MOUNTAINS. DOWNSLOPING FLOW WILL RESULT IN
DRYING ON THE COAST.

THEREAFTER...MAINLY FAIR WEATHER IS EXPECTED SATURDAY NIGHT
THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT OR WEDNESDAY. VARIOUS MODELS HAVE ANOTHER
SIMILAR SYSTEM AFFECTING THE AREA ONCE AGAIN WED NIGHT OR
THURSDAY.

stowe is in the bullseye according to this one

Oh my, Boston's going to shut down.

 

[hammer]

This is supposed to be my weekend off from skiing...with the holiday crowds will it really be worth chasing this one?

yes, crowds will be burning out. This will be the regular weekend crew. if you want first tracks pow go Fri/Sat. If you are happy with PP, go Sun/Mon. Me thinkingt about Monday.

Agree with that above logic 100%. Except this year I think you'll have power days through Sunday.

The weekend post PDW is always much less crowded than the weekend of PDW, not to mention, I'm gonna say this year the actual PDW crowds were only about 50% of normal.

Perfect weekend for me NOT being able to get to Smuggs or Jay

I can get to the Cats on Sunday though, so hopefully they pick up 6 inches from this instead of the mere 2 or 3 they're forecasting. Wouldn't mind hitting mighty Plattekill if this could get them 2/3 open.
