Stupid Storm..

[tcharron]

Who ordered the storm and DIDN'T tell it that it was SUPPOSED to be served TONIGHT when the temps turn it to snow and not RAIN?

Cripes...

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

It looks like it might be snowing at Sugarloaf..maybe the upper elevations of Sunday River as well..

 

[riverc0il]

Not cold enough at upper elevations of Sunday River a few hours ago. Maybe a few flakes tonight at upper elevation but nothing right now.

Head WAY up north for this one.. Like Big Rock or something higher elevation up that way. NCEP ETA Model Forecast snow attached.
