Sundown 1/28/09 (night)

[bvibert]

Anyone else gonna try to head out on Wednesday night?

 

[MR. evil]

possibly.....I will have a better idea in a few days

 

[Grassi21]

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

 

[mondeo]

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.

 

[gmcunni]

perhaps. i may opt to go further north depending on how much snow they predict.

I'm out for Wed night. Considering Thursday if I don't head north.

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

Think cold.

 

[Greg]

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

 

[bvibert]

I'm 50/50 for tonight at this point.

 

[Greg]

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:
