I will most likely be there. I want to get out one night this week. Monday and Thursday are definitely out.

Should be there, but depends on how much snow there is. I've been managing some pulled calf muscles or something of the sort, and I was planning on taking the week to rest them, but if we get a foot Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, I won't be able to hold myself back.

Sundown - 1/28

Looking like a chance for significant snow on Wednesday. I really would like to get there late morning and ski into the evening, but mid afternoon is more likely. Worst case scenario is a night session.

I'll definitely only be a night session for me. I'm going to work tomorrow.

Forecast seems to have improved a little bit. As long as the freezing rain isn't too bad, it should be good.

Think cold.

Still planning on it tonight. Please rain rain stay away. Sleet is fine. It's good for bumps actually.

Both Taunton and Albany are forecasting significant sleet accumulations! 3-5" and 2-4" of sleet, respectively. that's going to bond and fill in those Temptor bumps very nicely. Should be great tonight.

Definite freezing rain here in Watertown. A pretty good ice coating on the hand railings and whatnot already. I didn't expect the change over to niar so early... :angry:
