It's absolutely dumping up here. Not much yet...maybe a couple of inches, but we're forcasted for 6-10. If it keeps up like this, I don't doubt it.
Ewwwww. Just read, Southern NH continues freezing rain, changing to rain till late in the day, when cold air comes in and turns it to snow..
God I can't imagine what Crotched gonna look like. Some kind of sick ice sleet balogna sandwich?

It is absolutely pouring here in Central Massachusetts. The temperature has consistantly been between 32.0 and 32.4 for the last 10 hours.
Mother Nature, this isn't funny anymore.

Can someone around okemo, killington, bromley, snow, give us some observations. This is the gray area with this storm.

Yea I have the same problem at school, really crappy server.
Anyway, from radar estimates, it looks definite that Stowe, Sugarbush, Jay Peak, and Whiteface will be the winner with this storm. Suprise, suprise.

It also looks like the base of killington will only see about 2-4 instead of the 6-10 they were hoping for. DECEMBER 26th FLASHBACKS ENSUE!

Isn't the front with this system a cold front? Is it supposed to change back to snow?

Looking at the radar loop the precipitation looks like it is only going to last a few more hours and the intesity is dropping. :sad:
I wonder if st. Johnsbury has ever gone an entire winter without a "major" 12"+ snowstorm.:-?

In conclusion all resorts in central vermont and even some in northern vermont are getting screwed! At lest someone got the snow this time.

It's kind of died out in the MRV as well. 
Oof, here's what the NOAA says
M.L.King Day: Periods of freezing rain and sleet. High near 28. Light east wind. Winds could gust as high as 23 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New precipitation amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.
Weren't they saying 4-7" just a couple of hours ago?
They're still showing 2-4" tonight, and 1-2" tomorrow but...

Yet ANOTHER storm falls apart because of too much warm air. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
I don't think any of the world's weather models can fathom how much warm air is in the atmosphere as global warming accelerates. This SHOULD have been a good snow storm. Everything was shaping up perfectly. However, the warm air invaded, turned the snow to sleet and our 6-10inch snowstorm has been another bust. At least we got about 3-4 here in the NEK. Better than nothing but still not enough to get into the trees. I had dreams of bringing my skis to work tomorrow and skiing the hill behing the office. As of 2:00 I have determined that is not going to happen :x
