Where is Powderfreak??? The office manager at my work said I had a twinkle in my eye..October snowstorms are what I live for..

Unfortunately I've been at work all day, haha...wish I could've been following this one more closely today. Its been an incredibly dynamic storm and I did see reports (as early this morning) of 10.5" at 2000ft in the Poconos! That's some incredibly stuff right there...I also saw on the national news pictures of the heavy snow in Mt. Pocono. Looked awesome.

Hope you got out and made some turns today!

Had 3" at my house this a m with reports of 20" at Tug (just north) and 19" over in Hamilton (just east). Not gonna stay around too long but fun to see happen.

I had pix and a report to post at 10pm, but we had an internet outage.

1-2" at most where I am. If anything, some melted overnight. Rutland has a trace at best. Cold and dark outside now. By and large a bust.

Word has it that Jay was hammered.

I haven't been out yet but i've got lotsa limbs down in this heavy wet glop -- but hey its snow

A little over an inch at my house this morning...still calling for 2-4 in the Champlain Valley as snow showers are expected throughout the day. Some schools are cancelled across the lake in the Lake Placid area.

Not much to report on in CT. I thought I saw a few wet snowflakes last night around 11...but the temp was still hovering around 37-38F.

 

[thetrailboss]

Looks like a bust for Vermont...oh well..

Not all of VT is busting... certainly no NY that is for sure though. This one ain't over.

:beer:

 

[billski]

Wow. It's plow-able in Old Forge!

 

[Moe Ghoul]

All in all, a great omen for a good early season so far, a little melt, a little freeze, and we get a good start for a solid base to build on.

Awesome so for northern Vermont it looks like tomorrow is the day..and I'm guessing the snow that falls will be alot lighter and dryer than the stuff up in Hazleton
