It looks like todays weather got the best of Mad River Glenn. They have decided to close for today and from the looks of it possible for longer.
It did not look that bad when I drove by there yesterday. Hopefully this warm spell and liquid precipitation will end with cold and snow soon.

Is this image a live stream? The clock in the corner keeps updating!
Probably do not want more than one copy of the pic in the thread or it will suck people's bandwidth down.

Oh, and incidentally ... that's a really depressing pic. Sad panda.

Note especially:

3 or 4 powder days from Jan 14 - Jan 20th ?? - Its possible !!!
More help should follow later in the week. I can only speak more generally out this far but ensembles do indicate a significant jet amplification toward the weekend of the 19th and 20th. Snow would probably fall from a clipper-like system but jet amplifications are typically kind to the mountains of Vermont when it comes to new snowfall. In addition, this ridge west/trough east scenario is in the indication for a 10-14 day period beginning January 13th. Without the blocking at the critical high latitudes it will be difficult to sustain below normal cold; in fact, temperatures in that time frame could average above normal. If we can avoid the rain and continue to accumulate the snow then I am a buyer. And 3 or even 4 powder days are becoming a real possibility in the period beginning Monday and ending January 20th.
