Wow, 8-16". That's huge for those southern places. And with some luck it will stay cold and most of it will stick around through Christmas.

Agreed on probably being canceled, but if not then anyone who's worth talking to will be out slaying the pow anyway...

LOL! It's at the AquaTurf. They have like 3k people at these things per event. I have a feeling only a state of emergency will shut this thing down. :-o

3K? Then they won't even miss you. The AquaTurf is in Southington, right? That's just a short drive up the road to the mighty Sundown. Stop in and say hello at your silly little soiree and then head north young man.

You guys have been listening to GSS, the mad tombstone salesman, for too long. It's beginning to affect your judgment & vocabulary. :lol:

Will Wachusett really groom all the powder from the storm on Friday? I have a free pass I want to use for Wa. I was considering Beast but I may hold off till Monday morning after the next storm.

Enjoy the snow tomorrow, looks like there may only be a dusting this far north. At least I'm able to look forward to the Sunday storm.

Poconos Winter Storm Watch has been updated to a Winter Storm Warning

 

[mlctvt]

The predictions look great for southern Vt.
70% chance for 8+ inches and 40% chance for 12+ inches

then more on Sunday with the second storm.

Great news for an excellent holiday week for at least the southern mountains

First observation: 28 degrees, cloudy. The radar is showing the snow just coming into CT, but I suspect initially some virga. I would imagine that it's going to come in like the 12/13/07 storm with a wall of snow. NWS is thinking this thing might go a bit north so some sleet mixing in is a concern. Still going to be a huge net gain.

 

[campgottagopee]

Started here about 30 min ago--currently light flurries temps 22---we've been bumped from 6-10 to 8-14 by 10pm tonight

I can hear Glenn now: "Honey, I'll be right back. I'm just going to the restroom and stop by the cash bar. I think there is a really, really long line"

LOL! It's actually open bar!

The set up there is pretty neat. We're about 100 employees, so we go with a huge number of other companies at the same time.

I was thinking of having my wife drive the Jeep...and I'd hook up a line to the hitch and "ski" behind the Jeep there and home. I wonder if my suit would get dirty? :beer:

 

[Glenn]

Oh, I didn't get online last night, so here's an update:

I went to the gym after work. Around 4:30ish, I looked across the street to the grocery store MOBBED! I mean, this place was packed. I LOL'd to myself, finsished weights, then flipped on the weather channel as I did my run on the treadmill. Then I went home and did a little last minute adjustments to the snow blower.

Glenn, you get extra bonus points if you huck off the windmill out back of the Aquaturf! :lol:

 

[ERJ-145CA]

It just started snowing here in Sussex County at about 10:00 and it's now starting to stick. I figure I'll spend the day here with my family and then head to Mountain Creek around 6PM.

Jeff...you just solved my "Which skis should I ride to the AquaTurf tonight?" problem. The twin tips it is! "Mad steeze with a tie on..."
