Or atleast that Snookie will end up completely burried(a distinct possibility with a little drifting), never to emerge! :lol:

I think she's actually from up near Poughkeepsie. Does this mean the storm's now headed toward the Catskills?

seriously, if that map holds, it'll be wisp. 18"+ forecasted.

The winter I was at Snowshoe we got a whopper with 27". Wisp got 52" from the same storm. Friends said that because it was so flat you couldn't really even ski any of the mountain but the two front trails and those you basically had to hike down to from the top of the lift.

NWS is calling for 3-7 inches for Blue Mountain and 4-8 where I live. Better than nothing (or rain).

I don't know Root. I hate to be a Debbie Downer but the models I saw this morning looked like the Pocono's get the shaft. They never issued Winter Storm Watches for Monroe or Carbon Counties. That map was yesterdays and I had hope too but it doesn't look good now.:uzi:

I think we'll see at least 3" at Blue, but CB is gonna get screwed. It will make for a good day of skiing tomorrow because everyone will be to afraid to drive in the snow.

I was originally planning on a Monday ski day, but now I am looking for later next mid-week, depending how the snow flies.


Let's hope this is a sign of a more active snow pattern for us!

Root - please take some pics of the powder moguls. Even 2" could make for some nice bump skiing first thing in the morning. Enjoy!
