FYI Exit 18 off the thruway (~1.5 hours from Hunter, Belleayre, Windham etc.)

Snow for about 1/2 hour...no significant accumulation. Just changed over to rain / freezing rain. Icing up the road nicely.

Lets hope higher elevations do better.

The radar shows snow over us here, but it's obvious it's all virga and it probably won't start for another hour or two. They're calling for 3-6" before a changeover to freezing rain and about 1/2" of ice.

I'll be at Wachusett tomorrow night.

9:30 @ Albany:

Hard Freezing Rain about 20 minutes ago . . . Hopefully it will be snow up north. Looks like a fast moving storm. Already stopped in NYC according to the Very Last Howard Stern Free Radio Show.

Killington said they got 8 inches..but I am sure thats at the top.

Hope Whalebacks just getting snow rigt now, we have hail, snow and sleet where i live. Guess higher elevations will help though, still Whalebacks only 300 elevation, i belive.

Anyone know what roads like I90 through Mass and then I91 up into VT are like? We were planning on driving up that way this afternoon.

 

[thetrailboss]

Roads here in VT are not good. Snow covered due to the threat of icing. Take it easy out there.

 

[frozencorn]

Anyone know what 93 N > 16 N looks like? Not driving up until late tonight, round 10, which should help.

 

[Greg]

Seems like there was more freezing rain/rain than predicted. Anyone know how the Northern Berks, southern Green fared? Radar is showing rain as far North as Southern VT/NH.... :angry:

We didn't get any rain or even sleet to speak of where I live in the Mad River Valley. There were about 5" when I shoveled at 7:00 and at least 5" since then. It's still coming down hard enough that I could have easily started shoveling again at the beginning when I finished my second pass about twenty minutes ago. I'd be surprised if we ended up with less than a foot even if it started winding down now, which it's not.

Good news. As long as MRV and points north are all snow, I'm happy.

Wow. 10" new as of 12:30. That's great news, considering that it continued to snow pretty hard until about 2PM. Radar indicates it's winding now now, though there are a bunch of snow showers out in PA headed this way. Hopefully they'll hit early tomorrow AM.

 

[KingM]

Yes, it's done now.

But my very unscientific guess says we got a foot. :beer:

 

[DJAK]

8-10" at Sunday River as of 3 pm - still snowing.

They just got a new photo gallery from today up.

Weve go about 3-5", and its still snowing pretty good. Hope Enfield gets about a foot though, that would be some major powder skiing for tomarrow on Whaleback!!!

Cannon got about 2 inches before the mix came, so by the time I left(12) there was pretty much a dusting of new snow :angry: probably one of my worst days ever skiing...

Was it one of your worst days because of high expectations or because of truly bad conditions?

 

[dmc]

Hunter was awesome today!!!

A few inches of sloppy fresh... just about every trail open... Very carveable and fast...
