Anything but this gawd awful rain that is still falling in my neck of the woods!

Basically all the mountains are going to get a foot of beautiful base building snow out of this. Which is probably one the best things we could ask for this time of year. So yeah, no complaining about this storm.

I am confused though, some mountains got a foot, but many more got rain and fog after their little accumulation. Not good for the base. Guess it depends what loacation you're talking about.

Heavy base building snow + Rain + Hard Freeze = Best possible long term effecting type of November snow storm.

I still would rather be skiing powder. But I am uncertain any ski resort claiming "powder" is not stretching the truth a bit. New snow is a better term for this type of stuff.

Green Mountain Goo might be a better term for this storm ;)
