I'M GOING TO CHURCH. PRAISE THE LORD!
I think he means inches. Hell, I'll take half of that.
I may never come home.

Tim Kelly, 4 hours ago:

Snow Forecast for Mt Snow Overdone, Forecast for Jay Peak under done.
We have upslope snow in Vermont most of today, full blown snow storm North tomorrow.
Cold air coming in now means mountain rain is done for today, but warm comes back tomorrow. Net gain of snow for most, but rain will fall again south of a line roughly from Warren to Newry. Then wintry winds this weekend. Jay may end up with 25' (4 day total) by Saturday pm.

No more work

Tellin the boss now

No, feet!

300 inches of snow in 4 days?

 

[o3jeff]

300 inches of snow in 4 days?

75" a day

east becomes west

Hey bud, you got a problem?
You just stay home, I'll deal with it for ya.

Right, 75" a day? Or over 6 feet a day? If that is true, that seems extreme. I believe it that they may pass the 300" mark for the season, but I am really finding a hard time believing that they will get four days averaging 75" a day. That would be a record.

 

[billski]

Are you guys serious? You actually believed this typo? (and bad math)?

 

[thetrailboss]

JPR is not saying that:

All you need to know is: 5-7" of new snow and 100 percent open. Oh, and 8-12" of additional snow is forecasted by Saturday morning, enough said.

As you said, it must be a typo! Another reason why I never listened to Tim Kelly or Boston media.....

 

[Nick]

Yeah that would be the most amazing storm of all time, barely getting any media coverage.

That would be sweet though> Although the drive might be treachorous

 

[Warp Daddy]

we got 10 inches last nite at Titus all trails open now ------- and are projected for 10 more fri tru saturday am so i'm guessing that was a typo for certain !! 25 inches . BTW there are now warnings all over NNY Now -- just posted

BTV just cranked up NVT. And this would be in the valleys only..

Huh? The NECN boys are great. I don't have cable but I watch online and follow Tim Kelly's and Matt Noyes's blogs and use them as one of my primary weather sources. They are very straight with their forecasts. Tim is a hardcore skier and pays particular attention to the mountain. Matt has a lot of constituencies he pays attention to and often focuses on skiing. If TK is suggesting two feet at Jay, I would be thinking about Jay if I didn't already have other plans...

By the way... your Jay quote for what they are saying has a high range of 19" which isn't too far off from 25"... it is not like it is a radical departure, TK obviously anticipates more upslope and that could add up to half a foot easily.

Right, but if you see the first post, TK (inadvertantly) said 25 FEET.

 

[marge.kilgus]

We all make typing errors.....25" sounds fantastic right now...I am heading to
sunday river, I hope they receive some of that

 

[Magog Fishy]

Tim Kelley and Billski rule. :beer: Anybody remember a little 40" storm in N. VT last winter that came out of nowhere? Guess who the only two people who came close to calling it/alerting people to it -- Tim K. and Billski. Not sure what I would do without Tim Kelley -- I use Single Chair, FIS, American Weather Forum, etc but trust/depend on Tim & Matt Noyes the most.

Um, yea, I noticed that and just assumed he made a typo by not hitting the shift key and didn't proof read. It read like a Tweet and who proof reads those? I'm not failing him as a Met for forgetting to hit the shift key on a Tweet or FB update...
