Three inches here, but the snow is turning a little 'sleety' we'll see

 

[ERJ-145CA]

Torrential rain here in northwestern NJ, temps forcasted to be in the teens at night starting tomorrow night so recovery snowmaking can take place.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

35 and raining here..Blue mountain reopens tomorrow with more terrain..amazing snowmaking earlier in the week..hopefully it ends as some snow..

 

[jaywbigred]

Anyone want to venture a guess on road conditions tomorrow throughout the northeast?

Take your pick. Flooding, ice, tree debris, snow. You name it and pretty much with the exception of "clear and dry" you'll find it tommorrow across the East

Reporting live from a battery powered lap top by candle light in Southeast, NH. Freezing rain has been falling since 5PM and tree limbs are snapping like twigs all over. No power and tomorrow morning is sure to be an ugly one.

If this is happening here, I have faith that the good stuff and lots of it is falling up north at elevation :grin:

 

[severine]

Still rain here, falling hard. Sump pump is going off every minute or two in the basement. I REALLY hope we don't lose power... I don't think I can bail the basement by myself and watch the kids.

Wokw up to 8 inches, with some funk on top. Not a crust, but definitly a thick layer on top of softer snow. Hopefully not up high in the MRV or up in Lamoille county...

Variable..lol..

We received 3+ inches of rain since Wednesday. Now it's a fog and mist outside..Blame it on the Rain!!!!

 

[severine]

I think it stayed rain here all night, even though we were in a risk zone for ice. Thank goodness. Still have power, too. Of course, I didn't sleep well since I kept worrying about having to bail out the basement...

 

[WJenness]

Got up this morning to the power flickering on and off. Then it went off and stayed off... a thin coating of ice on the trees, many bent over / down / cut up on the side of the road... luckily it had transitioned to NCP (and not the freezing kind) when I hit the road for work.

I threw an extra blanket over my girlfriend before I left so that she wouldn't get cold... hopefully the power won't be out too long.

Sugarbush v. Mother Nature

They reported 7" this AM, that's a win considering what mighta happened............

 

[o3jeff]

Just wondering how low the snow line ended up last night so I can decide were to ski this weekend since CT skiing might not be so good. I see CT ski club has Stratton tickets for $35 this weekend so that might be and option.

 

[WJenness]

Girlfriend checks in from the homefront... still without power. She's disappointed because she can't make tea (crappy electric stove...).

Stratton reporting plenty of ice, but claiming their groomers can handle it...

Mt. Snow reporting similar ice, but warning they won't be grooming quite as much.

Killington not saying much as to what they got, but read between the lines and you can tell they got ice too, as the discuss ice-related power outtages at various lodges/parts of the mountain which will decrease access today.

I just hope the New York Thruway and S. VT roads are cleared up by the time I am driving through around 11 p.m.

Stratton and Mount Snow are weighing in with 2" snow, and icing, which has closed schools in the area.
Bromley reports "heavy icing."
Killington reports 10" new but also says "Snowdon Mountain and the Northridge areas will open as soon as possible. However, weather conditions will impact lift operations throughout the day."
Okemo reports 2" new and a "mix", requesting patience for lift openings.
Sugarbush reports 6" new and skiing powder.
MRG reports 8" new, but some freezing rain on top.
So based on anecdotal information only, the line is probably between Kmart and Sugarbush.

We where thinking about using our free tickets to Smugglers and Waterville Valley this weekend, but I am thinking we will wait and go another time.


It's currently pouring rain at Sugarloaf at present:angry:

Smugglers Notch has 30F and freezing rain as of 8:44am, so it's raining way north at the present time.

Interesting how things develop. Morrisville airport reports light freezing rain and Burke is reporting similar. Here's hoping it doesn't last too long.
