From the Sunday River snow report:

:smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Notice something with the forecasts for this upcoming storm? They all say Maine gets the most. Sorry NH and VT. It happens. It's nothing to be ashamed of, you just don't have as many inches.

Nice loafer89! Yep, you guys look like the bulls eye. A year to the day almost from last year. But as the owner of a small radio station once told me - "it's not the size that matters, it's the frequency".
I'll take whatever they give me over in the greens tonight and be very thankful. With this wet heavy stuff all you need is 4-6" and you're good to go. We may get some backlash also out of this for the next couple days. Glad I did my spring skiing two weeks ago! This coolish weather following the Snow is the amazing part.....................

Right. Maine will get the big dump from the storm, but hopefully the greens will get the upslope.

It's been raining/sleeting all morning here in the Burlington area. 1-3" is forcasted for the Champlain Valley and 3-6" for the Greens (according to the radio guy this morning). We just had some thunder/sleet which was pretty cool.

I've learned my lesson thinking that the most snow will NOT will in northern vermont.

Gentleman's bet that Jay ends up with more snow by the time upslope snows stop sometime later this weekend.
