It was down to 30F at the summit of Wachusett but that is at 2000' and much further north. Right now it's 42F here at home.
Next week looks grim for Sundown with 2-3" of rain in the forecast this weekend. I would not be suprised if the mountain had to close for a period early next week before good snowmaking temperatures come back, hopefully to stay.

Looks like at best they'll only have a window of few hours for snow making tonight...

I don't see 2-3" in the forecast. 1-1.5" maybe. I think they have enough snow to stay open. Perhaps they'll close during the rain event itself. but I doubt they will need to stay closed until they can make snow again. Hopefully the Sunday/Monday event is more snow than NCP.
Warm temps today so we should have a very spring-like surface tonight. Hope to click in before 7 pm. 7:30 at the sun deck?

I might have to bag tonight. My sister-in-law is in labor as we speak and my wife will surly want to go to the hospital if the baby is born today. I might still be able to swing it. We'll see.

We're heading to the hospital this afternoon so I should be there at some point. Maybe closer to 8 pm so don't wait around for me. I'll find you clowns...

NOAA changed the forecast since yesterday when they where predicting the 2-3" of rain, but they also raised the maximum and minimum temperatures. Honestly for forecast low temperatures to hold in the 40's at night on friday night in early January is both amazing and depressing at the same time. The 60F temperatures on saturday will do alot of damage to the snowcover I am sure.
Let me know what you guys decide, Warren and I are both worn down from yesterdays trip to Wachusett and he will not be skiing tonight. Right now I am 50/50 for tonight.
Cool, congrats to your SIL. See ya there!
I'll definitely be there, but I can't guarantee that I'll be skiing since it's a work night. Most likely if I do have to work I'll be done by 7 or 7:30...

I'm really going to try for 7 pm still, but even if I can't get out there until later, I'm in. Even if I can only get in 90 minutes or a couple hours, I'm still going.

I am out for tonight, sorry but I am too tired from last nights skiing and we are still doing alot of unpacking at home so I am kaput.
The plan is to be up at Mount Snow on sunday, so we are getting a little break.
Have fun though.

We are hoping for a break in the weather on sunday, hopefully the rain on saturday keeps the crowds away but does not hurt the snow too much.
Mount Snow is a little over two hours away, so that would be our first trip to Vermont this season.
My plans just got shot down....All because of this great weather we are having:angry: :angry:
