Man the best day on the snow, and I am stuck at work and have my inlaws flying in for my wife and son's birthday this weekend. I swear I am going to cry... Maybe I can sneak out to nashoba tonight or tomorrow... Otherwise I am sitting high and dry

Same story for me. In laws visiting this weekend so I'm hanging out with the family.. It's part of what makes skiing so wonderful, though...the perfect day is so fleeting and ethereal that when everything finally DOES line up it's SOOO good!!

I don't mind it being tracked up in spots. I'm less likely to smoke a log or stump and get hurt.

16+ inches in Claremont, NH. Got 5 inches yesterday (11am-5pm), then it basically just shut off until midnight. Woke up at 4am to let the dogs out and see if traveling to work was an option. At that time we had another 7 inches. It was puking snow. Went back to bed at 5:00, woke up again at 7am and the area I cleared for the dogs had another 4 inches. So basically from midnight to 7am it snowed out at about 2 inches an hour. We probably picked up another inch or so during the next two hours while we cleared the driveway and backyard. Generally Claremont and the Upper Valley and the area immediately on the river get shadowed, not this time though.

Ha, I worked a half day yesterday because I really was sick and I knew they wouldn't believe me. I found out they almost sent someone to follow me, to see if I headed to Greek Peak, trust, it's a beautiful thing. I wish I'd saved my barf for a manager's shoes.

Headed to Cannon tomorrow AM, hopefully no wind holds...supposed to have gusts up to 50mph.

Hope lots of great trip reports coming from today to read soon.

Haha, you've got a reputation.

Good! They are giving whaleback season pass holders 50% off for the rest of the season! Can't wait to go....

4-6 Additional for S.VT tonight it looks too

We picked up over a foot last night in the lowlands of Southern VT. Heavy snow till about 10AM. Total accumulation around 14 inches.

It was real weird only getting an inch or two yesterday - felt like we got skunked. Sure enough the NOAA snowfall maps came through with their predicted 12-14.

Now that the system is pulling out, bring on the upslope!!! Radar is looking good right now. I bet we see an additional few inches through tomorrow over the spine of the Greens.

Wrapping up the work and heading to the mtns in a few hours!

Nothing like red for Valentine's day. Gotta love this map.

Haven't seen this much red on this map in a looooong time!

Been dumping all day and it's still coming. Howling winds though.

I think they must do this for most/all mountains.
