Storm 24-27?

[tjf67]

Yeah, I am thinking it will be a no go on trying to get the RWD 2 door up to VT this weekend. Crap.

That is just silly talk. All the roads you will travel will have been plowed a little.

No need to take it seriously. Smells too much like a bluff to scare off lurkers! :grin::grin::grin:

Saturday may be a decent day to drive it up.

No, I'm serious. VT Rte. 7 E from Bennington to Wilmington is mountainous and often unplowed. I have no faith in a 300 hp RWD car with non-new performance tires to handle anything more than a dusting on roads like that. Winn's forecast is calling for 4-7 inches not ending until about the time I'd be driving through, with mixing (i.e. ice) in lower areas.

Better safe than sorry I guess. .

That car is known as a GTO (Good Till October).

In VT its Rt 9 you'll be on going from Bennington to Wilmington, and it's one of the hairier stretches of state highway going through Woodford. You're smart to not want to drive a 2 wheel drive car without great snow tires over that stretch anytime near a storm passing through. Where are you coming from?

 

[riverc0il]

There will be a sharp cutoff of the snow shield for those areas (Bromont/MontGlen/Owl's Head). Jay and Burke may hit the lower end of that range (will keep it for now for slightly more favorable snow ratios and to cover any northward shifts), but further north will drop off signifiantly...probably a few inches at best for now.

HUGE help, thanks so much! And no worries about the updates north of the boarder.... I'll take what I can get for info and you've been more than generous with your already extensive observations. Thank you!!!

Haha. of course you're right...7 in NY, 9 in VT. Always coming from Northern NJ, driven that way 30+ times in the past 2 years, mind fart on the number. My fiancee is in Denver for business, but worked it so she could fly into ALB (but not until midnight) so I am going to leave a car (our normal ski car, a Pathfinder w snow tires) for her at the airport and then jump in the car with my buddies who will be behind me. I, personally, was hoping to stick around for some midweek skiing, but I'd need a car to be able to shoot back to NJ should I get the call for an interview. She has to be in NJ on Monday but then is coming back up Thursday, and I don't want to leave her with just the RWD as an option, so my only choice would be the RWD to be w me in VT. Making her go home with our friends would work until Thurs, but then she'd have to come back up in the RWD; I could stay w/o a car pretty easily, but could screw myself interview-wise.

I know, TMI. And I like that acronym, "GTO", I'm gonna use that.

And I thought it was only complicated driving to VT when kids were involved...lol! Good luck figuring it all out.

Probably add a few more inches for those areas with the snow shield probably extending a bit further north--enjoy!

What's a "snow shield"?
You never covered that one in class! :dunce:

Just referring to the "swath" of snow or areal coverage of the snow field, sometimes referred to as the snow, or precipitation shield.

 

[Glenn]

Winter Storm Watch for SoVT. Oddly enough...they're calling for similar amounts of snow in Bratt and at Mt. Snow. We shall see!

It's gonna be mostly rain here in CT. BLAH!

How much snow do you think will be on the ground Friday morning at Cannon for opening?

 

[kingslug]

They should do ok with this storm!

I saw that. But my question was how much do you think will fall overnight?
