No net change in the snow pack here on the Valley floor. Still zero.

I keep waiting for this early, hard-hitting winter. It's always about a week away. Well screw it, because a week from today I'm going to be in Utah anyway.

I looked @ the webcams at Mount Snow. I can see a bit of snow loss. However, the temps "should" drop tonight after this system pulls out. And, if there is any good out of this, the snowmaking ponds will be nice and full. And will probably continue to full as the streams feed them for the next day or so.

I'm going to be real curious to hear what some of the maximum wind gusts are as the squall line rolls across VT in the next few hours! NWS higher peaks forcast is suspecting that some summits could see gusts OVER 100mph!

The wind is absolutely nuts right now.

THAT IS A SICK VIDEO!!!!! I really hate how warm it is... Lets PRAY for a SICK snow fall on the tail end of this storm. Buffalo and Cuse just got a blast. Not sure of the cumulations if any but there is some out there.

 

[nelsapbm]

We should see some snow by the end of the storm but I don't think its supposed to amount to much.
I'm really surprised I have power right now! Have our fire scanner on and almost all the surround towns are out dealing with trees down on roads & power lines.

I was wondering at the end of that video, what was getting blown around more, the guy, or the Prius trying to drive by in the background?? :lol:

So I am sitting here at work in Western NY and watching the snow fly! We are seeing the back end of the rain already and Lake effect is kicking up.

I don't think any resorts over here will open up for the weekend yet but significant LE banding is possible. 8-16 inches in some places. I might poke around Tug Hill or the Ellicottville area and hike for some turns on Saturday.

Me too. I've asked several resort folks for any summit reports if possible. Most are closed so I'm hoping those with summit anemometers can get some readings. My jaw was dropping the past several days seeing the forecasted winds aloft...jeez! Just screamin winds!

I'd imagine that the folks up on top of the rock pile in the observatory will have a fun night as this thing passes Eastward!

It was pretty crazy here in CT. The town I work in, 3.3" of rain. A town over, 58mph gusts.

It's drying out now. I hope they fire up the snow guns soon up north.

KB plans to open this weekend

I have been watching the LE band just sitting over KB area. I wish it would shift to the hills in the south.

KB isn't open and I'm not sure how they would feel about earning turns but I am hoping to head over that way to check things out.
