NOAA currently has me labeled as "heavy snow accumulation possible"... a quick bowling ball low blasting through with a similar setup to 12/13/07.

Will this Friday storm hit early morning, throughout the day, or Friday night. I know it's a long way out but just wondering if any current models are saying anything.

Too far out to know, but I'll tell you what NWS is thinking.

NWS just moved the storm bullseye to Catskills/Berkshires, perhaps as much as a foot, beginning Friday morning rush hour, continuing all day. Damn! I have holiday social obligations on Saturday. Goooo Beast!

They were saying 6+ on the radio this morning for my neck of the woods. Should make for nice skiing at WA this weekend. Hopefully they can get back to full speed after the ice storm.

Models are trending colder and slightly more south for this one. I love it! :spin:

If you go to wa saturday, I'll be the guy in the red volkl jacket, spy goggles, flat black giro helmet. And hideous pinkish fischer wateas with hideous green nordica superchargers.

I'll be there super early.

Come on storm, move north! Wachusett sucks regardless, and I hate driving through snow to get up north.

Drive south punk. Seriously, you wanted to try Sundown. Friday night is a good opportunity.

Do you mean 2 and 1/4 inches of liquid precip?

Yes. At 10:1, that's close to 2 feet.

Saturday morning final... :puke:

Maybe Sunday?

I think the Sunday event is going to be later. If Friday materializes and snow again starts falling Sunday afternoon, that will surly mean rad powder bumps Sunday night too. If you're here in the daylight, I'll give you a tour of the epic Sundown woods. Ask Marc. He loved it! :lol: ;)

Oh Lordy.... the cityfolk and flatlanders are massing and the predictions of Friday's impending doom.

Just got phone call requesting use of the all wheel drive mobile....

Sorry Sev, it's too late for milk, it must be gone by now.

Dammit they'd better be right. Where's Scott????? (uh, I hear that powderhound was wounded in action today :cry::-o:cry:
