"Heavy Snow"
my favorite forecast

Any idea of the wind following this one? Says "blowing snow" on Monday but only gives a wind speed of 18mph. Don't want to risk my life driving to get to a closed hill.

You can always stop at Eaton in Skowhegon if the Loaf is shut down. LOL

Speak for yourself. This storm is supposed to keep cranking here into Monday morning. Hopefully there will be 2-3 feet of untracked powder on Doug's Drop at Burke. This trail hasn't opened yet this season and it is steep enough to ski in 2-3 feet of snow. I'm going for it Monday morning before the lifts turn. Wind or no wind. I've seen worse :grin:.

The poma at Burke will likely run, even in the high winds.

I'm watching the news and they have the cancellation scroll going. Churches are canceling services tomorrow. Since when do churches close?

I'm thinking of just risking it tommorow night and staying at a friends house in Rangeley. We'll just take it slow! We can't leave until 8pm.

this looks to be a pretty fast moving storm you might be ok at that time.

Those are valley winds. Summits are gonna be a "bit breezy" as us sailors would say. Definitely lift holds on tap. Better to risk your life going to an open area. I'm considering Magic for Monday.
