I have season tickets, but I let my buddy go once ski season starts. Seasonal fan. I prefer ski season.

Looking like it may mix here in CT...but that's kinda par for the course. I'm reading the NWS discussion for the Dover area...they're not going into much detail on this one yet. Hopefully, it's all snow up there.

After Saturday I don't work until the 26th, oh this rocks, Cannon/Pats game, and I think I'll hit Cannon for the pow pow on Monday!

Freezing rain @ the Pats game Really had some sh$tty weather for a bunch of the last 1/2 of the season As much as I LOVE my Gore-Tex gear, I'm getting tired of needign to wear it for Pats games

Are you tired of your gear? or the team? :razz:

What's the thinking re timing of storm onset & significant accumulation, and re wind on the back end? I'm eyeing MRG Sunday or Monday.

NWS-Burlington says one model says snowfall will start soon after daybreak Sunday but another delays it for six hours, and in either case it sounds like wind may be a problem Monday. Josh Fox's blog says snow to start "later Sunday" and he pegs Monday as the big powder day but doesn't mention wind then.

NWS is suggesting 20mph winds below 2000' before the storm and 15mph winds for daylight hours Monday. Still too early to be certain.

The issue is really going to be the rate of snowfall.

I am planning on getting out somewhere on Monday. If it is windy, you'll probably find me checking out the woods. A few inches each day (stowe had about 10-12" yesterday) on top of the frozen, and add to that the sunday mix, I'm hopeful the woods will be do-able if it's windy.

What's going on here guys! I thought this thread would be at least 10 pages long by now!! Looks like Saddleback on Monday as long as the wind holds off. Maybe they could hook the T-Bar back up for a day! Hahaha.....

 

[Warp Daddy]

Unfortunately, we only got an inch or so up here and I'm working this afternoon. I'm just waiting for this next one to hit! Looks like it should be a fun ride up to the mountain Monday morning!!

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

Looking like Stowe/Smuggs area 8-12" a foot more east....we got 5" yesterday and another 1-3" tonight (Long Island)

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

It's looking like 3-5 or 4-6 inches for Blue mountain the true mountain...maybe the peak will receive more snowfall due to orographic lift!!!!!!..7 inches with a Sugarbush ruler perhaps..I'm gonna be on my Elans because they are faster..
