The Official 2/12 - 2/13 Storm Discussion Thread

[SnowRider]

Central Mass has about 4 - 5 inches at a glance. ( NO SCHOOL :-D )

Just wanted to say that they are predicting Rain / Freezing rain for Waterbury like Monay. :sad:

 

[KingM]

This one was kind of disappointing, only a few inches. We're not hurting for snow up here, obviously, but the last couple of storms over performed and I think I was expecting the same. They still canceled school for some reason.

This would be the perfect day to slip away to ski, since it's going to be so busy for the next week and a half after today, but I have to spend the day cleaning snow off the roof instead.

It has turned to rain in Strafford, no idea what's happening in Stratford.

It's called the "Flatlander Effect"
Be careful next thing you know, they'll be demanding sidewalks! :blink:

had about 3" here on LI, turned to FR around 9pm then R overnight....roads were a mess, spin outs everywhere, my buddy was floored by the Quattro, said he always heard about it, but never got a chance to experience it...last night was perfect for the Audi.....she was in her element and shined!!

Damm, wet stuff is creeping up north. Stop now!

Driving home from the mountain last night / to work this morning was great, not a single slip or anything... I love my A4.

about five inches in Portland over night has now switched over to 'r'

was debating a night session at Shawnee this evening. We'll see how the rest of the day goes

 

[bvibert]

Does anyone have any first hand reports of what it's actually doing in SoVT right now, or how things are looking in general?

 

[BLESS]

youck, that radar looks ugly. It's obviously all rain now here in little rhody...on my way to Jackson tonight. Hopefully the rain doesn't move any further north...

 

[ajl50]

It looks like mix line is finally starting to hold on line that the the NWS burlington predicted...maybe the 6-10 total snow for the northern adirondacks will work out.

Anybody know what elevation is doing to this storm- clearly there are area's where cold air is trapped at the surface and producing ice so I'm guess there are area's where it's warmer at elevation then at the surface.

I just spent about an hour shoveling here at work and I probably have less than an hour left..as expected things are incredibly slow today...after I'm done shoveling here..I'm going over to my parents new house and shoveling their driveway and walk. My Dad(Boss) told me that I can drink as much of their beer as I want..as long as I shovel...Then I'm shoveling my parents old house which they're closing on in a few days..then that's it..I don't have to go back to work. Some serious exercise for me today. I'll probably be so tired that I'll have to go to the bar for wings and beer.

amazing information, thanks for the update.


I'm just kidding around...relax. Have a few beers for me.

 

[WJenness]

Are you going skiing today? Is Blue even open in this crazyness?

[Greg]

So...we need some more reports. I'd particularly be interested to know how SoVT is fairing. Not good, I'd imagine.

 

[SkiingInABlueDream]

Things will improve when the eventual refreeze happens. :sad:

 

[severine]

That doesn't sound too promising for the here and now.

 

[billski]

Received phone call from southern VT. Very icy, bad roads.
And that's AT the mountain.

 

[Greg]

Yeah, from poking around various online reports, it seems Killington south is being affected by ice and freezing rain. This sucks. Good for Sugarbush northward it seems though!
