How much rain on Saturday?

[abc]

For those who couldn't get out on Friday...

 

[ScottySkis]

I hope every one can get out, before saturday, but i think well have some nice corn snow soon.

Corn under the sun is great!

Porridge in a downpour, not so much...

They're calling for 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch for almost the entire east. Wind might end up being more of a factor than rain though.

Channel 5 met just report that the Maine mountains will get all snow with a chance of snow/mix/snow. I hope hes right.

Don't. Don't get my hopes up. After everything this season, I'm setting my expectations for Sat really low.

Me too, my uncle from NJ and I had planned a trip to Gore on Saturday, looks like that's slim to none right now. Who knows though, the weather has changed within 6 hours notice more than once this year.

He said the "r" word......

There's rain of a few drops once every hour. There's also steady non-stop soaking wet drizzle for hours on end (that's not counting buckets load of rain)

For the former, I'm perfecttly happy to ski in it. For the letter, I'll stay home.

So what's it likely be for the Cats, Gore or point north?

Your'e not gonna be at Killington are you?

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

[ALLSKIING]

Winds look to be much more of a problem then rain at this point...

The NAM (which is decent short term) is coming in colder! If you go far north, there's a chance this will be all snow. I'll take "a chance", as this was a 100% rain/sleet event just a day ago. Pray to Ullr.

Glad you got to Platty today was it powder runs all day. Have great time tomorrow weather looking much better for this weekend now.

Ambiguous at best. I will be at jp. You don't know unless you go. Most of the ti
me peeps will report "much better than expected. Non-groomers will ski best. Enjoy everyone.

Wasntt really powder. They got about 5 inches, then about 1/2 inch ice, then about another 5 inches on top. So it actually skied better as the day went on and people broke that tiny ice layer. Lots of snow for sure though. They groomed a lot of the mountain though, especially for Platty, probably to either bust up that 1/2 inch ice, or to add to the base. You could find natural in places too narrow or too steep to groom though.

En route to n.VT now. Taking tomorrow off, may ice fish! Then skiing Sun + Mon.
