We got 5" at my house Tuesday night and the wife says 8 - 10" so far today when I talked to her at about 7:30.

True, but I'm resting my head 1 mile from mansfield.
I also went to NJ last week for all that friggin snow and didn't ski. It's where I am, not what I do. :roll: I'm just hoping this streak doesn't end too soon.

Yep, but it is going to be nutty windy.
can't even imagine
I just peered outside and watched the cover of my grill get blown clear off and sail through the air 100 feet before landing and me running outdoors to grab it.
nuts out there right now. I lived in Florida during a 4 hurricane summer. Closest came within 20 miles of my folks home, all within 50 miles. NONE had the winds I'm seeing outside right now.
Just got back from playing out with my band--lost power right after we wrapped up. Still power at home here but doubt it will last--winds are just FIERCE. Forecast updates will be delayed if we do lose power--we'll see. Will catch up on some storm reports before shutting down for the night.
Chat more later.

Would like to gather on-the-ground reports of what things look like today, Friday.
From the 8pm Thursday Bolton Valley resort report:
"Our Base Lodge elevation kept everything from here to the top of Vista all snow this afternoon, though the lower elevations of Timberline picked up some rain."
Base: 1,525', Top: 3,150'
MRG, Thursday 1:38pm Base: 1,600', Top: 3,637'The warm air has arrived allowing the rain to fall at the base of Mad River Glen while the snow is falling in center city Philadelphia.
NVT NWS forecast, 3am Friday:
XPECTING MAINLY RAIN SHOWERS IN THE LOWER ELEVATIONS TODAY...WITH A CHANCE OF SNOW SHOWERS ABOVE 1500 FEET.
Stowe, 6:30am friday
We currently have strong, gusty winds on the mountain and they may effect lift operations this morning. We have received 3" of new snow at the summit overnight, though we have also received some rain and mixed precipitation.
Killington
This report tells me nothing.
The Pico cam shows no snow on the trees at the base.

checking out snow reports this AM. Cannon is reporting no snow? But Wildcat is stating no rain overnight. the MRG webcam shows the trees bare at the bottom but snow higher up. it's currently dumping at Sugarloaf. Saddleback - give them credit - states "We have picked up another 10 inches of snow overnight bringing the storm total to 28 inches of snow so far. We had a brief turnover to freezing rain at around midnight but it quickly changed back to snow."

Wildcat says they got a foot overnight. Gonna be a crazy $9 day.
The forecast on their email report: "Lots of snow." To the point.

Magic fared better than I feared. Excellent news:
" [FONT="]It snowed again last night!! Actually, it snowed for most of the day yesterday despite the forecast calling for other forms of precipitation. It certainly wasn't light powder, but it was snow none the less. Unfortunately it did turn to r#&n for a period of time last night, but quickly moved back to snow and we are looking at another 4-7" this morning on top of the nearly 3 feet we picked up on Wednesday. The report from the grooming team is that the snow is noticeably drier higher up on the mountain. As of 7:30am we are experiencing light snow showers that we are hoping will last all day"[/FONT]

Sounds like Stowe took it kinda hard. Bringing my carvers.
"Due to ongoing grooming operations, we will have a delayed opening this morning and we expect to start with the Lookout Double at 9am. The Gondola and FourRunner Quad will start the day on wind hold. Because of mild overnight temperatures, rain, and mixed precipitation grooming will be limited to at least one groomed route off of each lift today."
and Bolton seems to have similar snow:
"Our higher elevations held the overnight precipitation to mostly flurries to the top of Vista, while the lower Timberline area did pick up some rain. Over the radio before dawn, the groomers are reporting heavy snow falling on the summit. Overnight winds seemed to have been kind to our west-facing mountain, and should continue to decrease this morning, as temperatures remain steady in the low-30s."
Hard to believe I was taking face shots two days ago.

in another 3-4 weeks when we're all talking about spring skiing, this heavy, wet snow and a bit of rain will be a godsend. with wildcat get skied heavily today, the weekend should be great - a bunch of terrain rarely open will be in great shape.
