niar/snow line for Sat 12/28

[billski]

I can't stand it being inside any more. How far north do I have to go to avoid./minimize niar on saturday AM?

nair leads to soft snow that is easy to turn on. just don't forget your gore-tex. i skied in the rain on thursday and was loving the soft slushy bumps.

It's looking like the rain snow line will be about central VT/NH..the Catskills might get some sleet..this is a warm system. I wish I could be at Stowe tomorrow AM..I guess I could in theory but I think I'd fall asleep at the wheel. Sunday will have a rain/snow line much farther south but will the precip be there?

No problem with the snow. I just don't ski or hike in niar anymore. kinda lost it's attraction. I would be the kind to wait it out. maybe sunday is better. I am also hoping they are wrong about the liquid precip at certain elev's, but I know it's a long shot.

Go at least as far north as Killington..Sugarbush/Stowe would be better and crowds will be lower due to the backyard effect..Get that fresh Poe..

I hear you. I'm more busting your chops than anything else. ;-) Go get some!

I've come to somewhat rely on what I find at WMUR (NH tv station). They have an image that they update regularly without changing its url:

I know that this isn't exactly what you asked but it's handy. I've put the link into my signature too.

thanks all. The maps an currents and NWS at 4am have canceled winter storm warnings for all but extreme-most VT (Stowe, Jay) and Maine (Sunday River, etc.) Everybody else gets niar I think I'm going back to bed - the roads could be a little too "interesting".....

Good call. This crap.

We got a few inches. It was a very wet snow.

how are the roads? treated I presume? Better question: how are the drivers?

It's about 34/35 degrees so the roads aren't frozen.

Got just about everything up here at JAy. A heavy 3-5'' up at the mountain. Skied this morning in snow; sleet, light rain, fog, wind you name it,just about any weather possible. Killed the lighter snow we got yesterday.

I feel even better about sitting around playing with the computer now.

49 more to go.

6-8" of new snow here at Saddleback and now we have to scoot home tomorrow afternoon as a Winter Storm Watch is up for my part of C.T for sunday night/monday.
