Looking for word on Stowe...how do you think things will be looking there for saturday?

My gut tells me that it all depends on the natural (which appears to be the crapshoot.) The options will be limited to whatever they can crunch up and blow on before then. They can only do so much in two days.

Temp is now below freezing at MRG and it's snowing, so that's goodness.NWS is forecasting 3-7" at Stowe (Morrisville) this afternoon and it is snowing now. NWS is also sticking their neck out and projecting 8" of snow from Thursday night through Friday night.

You might luck out if they get that much.

check this out at MRG:

With snow falling now into the overnight hours along with a possible storm on Friday..I think Stowe will be good this weekend.

Definitely all snow on the valley floor now. Ground is already covered again. This weather is giving me whiplash.

You should get up there and ski the last hour and a half..

Killington and Okemo are apt to pick up a cool 12-15 in the next 24 hrs.

snowing at my house.

Down to just above 40 degrees here. For perspective, thats an 18 degree drop since 10:30 this morning when we were at 58.

Intellicast radar shows rain changing to snow in the higher peaks of the Whites....hopefully we change back to snow sooner than later here.

I like the sound of that - Im heading there for 3 days starting Friday 8)

25 solid inches at the stake...another 10-12 and that place will come into it's own. Might have to go ski Anglefood friday afternoon before the gondi opens....

 

[AMAC2233]

Looking like the Whites and Maine (SR/SL) won't get much out of this? Correct me if I'm wrong...but NCP is forecasted for both places...

All this rain will be a distant memory as the snow accumulates into the weekend. Just makes it that much sweeter. {{{{{{{{{{+++++}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

The Whites are looking at 9-13" thursday night alone, probably a couple over the day friday also. POW!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow will probably be mentally the longest day in recent memory waiting for this this to start...

 

[KingM]

Any chance they'll open MRG on Friday, so I don't have to wait until Sunday to go skiing?

 

[MarkC]

It looks like 8-10" for the Cats. Powderdaize!!

 

[SnowRider]

Southern NH predictions?

 

[JD]

I'm really liking where this front has set up for the passage of this next low. Central VT seems to be in the sweetspot...as close to the changeover line as possible w/o getting one...
