What's up with NOAA's website today? Seems like none of the NE forecast pages want to load reliably. That much excitement about tommorow?

Ditto here. Let's hope for a high "Flakes to hits" ratio.

If I had a cush government job at the NWS, I'd be getting hammered on a regular basis too. So I can't really blame em.

I got in at about 6:30 AM after 30 min of trying. If your coming to the Stowe/Sugarbush area this site is local and Roger Hill is the man. http://weatheringheights.com/ Also, if your coming to Vermont this phone number will get you up to the minute road conditions 1-800-ICY-ROAD, check it out, you will be glad you did.

Tonight...Increasing clouds with light snow likely after midnight. Snow accumulations a dusting to two inches. Lows zero to 5 below. Light north winds. Chance of snow 70 percent.
Wednesday...Snow...Heavy at Times in the afternoon. Additional snow accumulation of 10 to 14 inches. Highs 10 to 15 above. Blowing and drifting snow with north winds increasing to 10 to 20 mph. Gusts up to 30 mph in the afternoon. Chance of snow near 100 percent.
Wednesday Night...Snow until midnight...Then cloudy with scattered snow showers. Blowing and drifting snow with total accumulation of 16 to 26 inches. Lows 5 below to 5 above zero.

With all that wind the glades are going to be incredible. Go out and get some.

CONFIDENCE RUNNING HIGH ON STORM TO IMPACT THE NORTH COUNTRY WITH
HEAVY SNOW AND NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ON WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. SURFACE LOW THAT WAS OVER ARKANSAS THIS MORNING WILL TRACK
NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT AND REACH THE CAPE COD AREA LATE IN THE DAY ON
WEDNESDAY. IT WILL INTENSIFY AS SYSTEM IS IN FAVORABLE COUPLED JET
AT 250 MB. FORECAST DIVERGENCE AT 250 MB IS VERY STRONG ON
WEDNESDAY...THUS FAVORING THE DEEPENING LOW. THE RESULTING VERTICAL
MOTION WILL BE VERY STRONG AND APPEARS TO WANT TO BE LAID OUT IN AN
AXIS FROM THE ADIRONDACKS TO POINTS NORTHEAST. WITH SUCH A
SYNOPTICALLY DRIVEN SYSTEM...FEEL HEAVY SNOW THREAT SHOULD BE JUST
ABOUT EVERYWHERE IN OUR AREA. IF THERE IS ONE AREA THAT COULD SEE A
HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY SNOW IT WOULD BE THE NORTHERN
ADIRONDACKS...CHAMPLAIN VALLEY...AND NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
VERMONT. EXAMINATION OF 850 AND 700 MB FRONTOGENESIS FIELDS SHOW A
FAVORABLE OVERLAP OF MAXIMA...WHICH SUGGESTS AN AXIS OF HEAVIER
SNOW. THUS HAVE INCREASED SNOW TOTALS ACROSS ALL AREAS...BUT IN

IN THESE AREAS...12 TO 24 INCHES OVER SOUTHEAST VERMONT WHERE SOME
SLEET MAY MIX IN...AND 8 TO 16 INCHES ACROSS THE SAINT LAWRENCE

ENHANCE THE SNOWFALL POTENTIAL AND SEEING THE FAVORABLE CROSS-HAIR

TWO TO FOUR INCH PER HOUR SNOW RATES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT. TOTAL QPF FROM THIS EVENT SHOULD BE IN THE 1 TO 2
INCH RANGE WITH A 10:1 OR 15:1 SNOW RATIO. WHAT SHOULD HAVE A
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE AREA WILL BE THE INCREASING NORTHWEST
WINDS WITH SPEEDS INCREASING TO 10 TO 20 MPH AND GUSTS TO 35 MPH.
THIS SHOULD RESULT IN NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS AND WILL CONTINUE TO
HIGHLIGHT BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW IN THE ZONES AND IN ANY
STATEMENTS. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO EXAMINE THE POSSIBILITY OF
MEETING BLIZZARD CRITERIA. SNOW WILL TAPER OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH JUST SOME SNOW SHOWERS ON THURSDAY. BUT WINDS
WILL STILL BE A FACTOR ON THURSDAY ALONG WITH BELOW NORMAL
