Who is getting after it today? Cats and Poconos should be deep.
KIds had another snow day called for us in CT (which includes on-line participants) sooo..........clothes are in dryer, nitrate ridden bacon from 7-eleven in oven and non-nutritious boxed pancakes being micro-ed as we speak. I can see lifties pulling coral ropes but wind will be the wildcard but regardless, 2 snow days in a row is what its all about.

Good for you. Our school district has basically ended snow days during covid and maybe for good. Snow days are now remote instruction days where they follow the bell schedule

Kids have to sit and stare at the ipad all day instead of sledding and building snowmen. At least until classes are done. I feel bad for them.

Got an email yesterday that today would be a remote instruction day, I got pissed same as you - Kids have given up enough, let them have a damn snow day. Then I got them off the bus and the work for today was build something in the snow then create instructions, measure the snow fall every hour and make a graph, etc. Pleasantly surprised. Now I just need to stop reading this forum, finish up work and head over to crotch.

A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
Totals I've seen-

Windham- 20-24"
Catamount- 14"
BEast- 13"
Jiminy- 12"
Stratton- 10"
Magic- 10"

Still ripping up in the Cats. Berkshire East was 100% open before the storm....probably really good now and I haven't been there in a couple years. Windham was packed last Wednesday when it snowed...I'd have to imagine it'd be worse this week with more snow.

Wachusett reported 18" and Smith and 10th ungroomed.

In NH, looks like east of Mt Washington got smoked and west got skunked. Bad day for Black to not update their report lol. Only 4-6" at Cannon and Loon.

With the notice that today would be second snow day in a row, communication also stated that going forward, any snow days would be deemed remote learning so as to not push the school calendar out further. Were not even near past high past years SD count so it is a bummer that kids wont have more off but I was a fantastic C-student and I turned our fairly successful by most measures so well see.

Just finished 2 hours at MS and I did not expect the "mini-sleet" which has left everything with a 1/8" frozen coating. While plentiful, snow is by no means "powder" anymore and your googles are crusted within 1 minute. Still a sh*t-tone of fun and beats Zoom.
