Nothern ADKs too:

SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 3 TO 6 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BUT LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE IN PERSISTENT LAKE EFFECT SNOW BANDS.

MORE LAKE EFFECT SNOWFALL IS POSSIBLE LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Does this effect Killington? Sorry, not familiar with the lay of the land

 

[nelsapbm]

Killington is in Rutland County. When you see weather forcasts and they say "Addison County and North", it generally means from Sugarbush northward. The Snow Bowl (Midd) may get some too.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

thanks.

 

[from_the_NEK]

Not holding my breath for snow. I expect a dusting to 3 inches. Whatever, we can use it to refresh the surfaces a bit.

It's sad when 3-6 gets such an advisory

I'm actually kinda surprised by that too. Usually don't get any sort of Advisory/Warning/Watch unless we're talking of 6".

The mets at BTV must be bored by this winters weather!

FYI QPF's of .35 on some of the models, with 20:1(even 25:1) snowfall ratios is well above 6 inches... not to mention the orographic lift of the mountains will induce more moisture than the .35 that the model suggest. I wouldn't be surprised to see some mountains pick up a near foot.

 

[Warp Daddy]

SO 3-6 is now a MAJOR DUMP :lol: hell that used be just a 'sugar snow"

 

[TwinTips21]

Its a snow advisory. 3-6 inches has warranted a snow advisory in the past, its no the bad season thats inducing the advisory. If it were a winter storm warning I would be in agreement.

 

[clenois]

We got about 4-5" at the base and 8" on top at Mount Snow. Allowed us to open our first tree ski area of the season, The Plunge over on the North Face.

 

[thetrailboss]

Yes, a solid storm. 6 inches or so across the mountains. Not huge, but hell, we'll take it. Things are getting better by the day! :beer:

 

[JD]

Skied some good natural glades today above 2500. Stuff's ready.

 

[bigbog]

listen to the authorities!.......

:lol: I know what ya' mean WD. I love watching the Weather Channel(Atlanta-bred) crowd's rolling eyes when they bring out their...."with a possibility of accumulation of up to 3"...!!! :-o "
