Any idea how this is effecting Loon, Waterville, etc.. Per snow-forecast.com they are still supposed to get well over 6" after all is said and done.

Stowe got sleet, 4 inches, looked like it had turned over up high and it's still coming down, not really accumulating as much as condensing. The snow started light but turned heavy and then to ice so it's like sugar, and moderately heavy, but not wet at all. Skis OK, but natural snow trails that haven't been ski groomed are not ready. The overnight will be interesting. Hopefully we get another few inches of lighter snow, then lower angle stuff would be good to go.

flatlands of Mass.
As long as the warm-ass air down by Maryland doesn't spread north.

Currently it's fugging 66 degrees down there.
I didn't believe you until I saw this...

That's scary...I hope that the forecasts for the cold temps hold...

Yeppers. If that just heads northeast, tonight is going to SUCK as it warms up a mad amount, then cools down again.

I don't think it's supposed to warm up at all, I thought a cool down was coming tomorrow and carrying through the week, with sub zero temps on Wednesday, of course the day I chose to go skiing :)

This winter = not good.
That's just the facts. The overall northeast atmosphere just isn't going to give us a good snow year. I think we need to approach every storm that way. We need to have the hypothesis that the warm air will screw us.

sleet and mix builds super good base. If you want deep dry powder, get on a plane and go find it.

building a super good base....ok so that's the rose colored glasses? Come on...12 inches of snow v. 4 inches of winter mix.
want to make a poll?
See which wins?
that's the point of this winter- we're looking to be happy over another busted storm in jan. because it produced sleet to build a base.

12 in. of snow will eventually compact to about the same. Not as fun to ski, but gets the job done in the long run. I'm just happy to see more seasonal temps move in.

FWIW it was pretty much snow all day at Burke and accumulating ice pellets. So they got I'd say 6 inches or so while I was there today...add that to the 3-5 from yesterday and things are getting good!!!!
