The Official 4/4 - 4/5 Storm Discussion Thread

[riverc0il]

This whole Holiday Storm thing is a bit blown out of proportion. Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, MLK Day, etc. were not good for Holiday skiing in New England. It is easy to count the hits and ignore the misses, but we are not even batting .500 for Holiday skiing this year. Granted, the last two Holidays of the season have been exceptional, calling this a season of the Holiday storm is forgetting everything prior to Valentine's Day (which really isn't even a Holiday).

24 hour storm total in St. Johnsbury is about half a foot through this morning, not bad! More than I was expecting actually as most of the storm total maps for this area have been over done this year. Still snowing! Hopefully the consistency of the snow gets lighter towards the weekend and especially at elevation. Can't wait to see the storm totals roll in later tonight and firm up plans for the weekend. Jay is already reporting in at a foot of snow through Thursday morning. Sensational. Amazing to consider most skiers packed up their season before two of the biggest dumps of the season this past three weeks. Will make for short lines this weekend!

7-8" at the base of Mt. Ellen this morning. The Bush is only reporting 7" on top, but I would bet it's more like 10-12". We're expecting more up here over the next 5 days.

FYI it did snow on MLK Day. 3-5 inches or so. The skiing at Burke was great. It also snowed two days before New Year's.

MLK day was the day we were supposed to get upwards of 16-20 inches of snow, and instead we got an inch of snow and 5 inches of sleet at the Bush. What a bust!

About 4" of cement at my house. Sure enough, it snows after the snow tires come off. Getting up the driveway this morning was quite the event.

 

[Greg]

We ended up with a bit of a dusting overnight.

 

[kingdom-tele]

12" in newport center VT

jay has more

it dried out as the night went on, still snowing moderately now, if the upslope cont through the weekend 24+ won't be hard to do

 

[Justin10]

Haven't been outside yet, but it looks like around maybe 8" down here. Heading up to Loon soon for their 16". Ill post up a TR later today. Enjoy it guys!

 

[tjf67]

Got three inches at whiteface. BOO HOO unless the lake effect does something crazy I am headed to jay Sat. We will be done over here on the 15th.

Just a rejoinder: Any day that snow falls on a ski area or resort is a holiday. =) So that's that.

(Technically, I did say "this year" so that knocks out the no-snow events of Thanksgiving and Christmas last year. Anyway, we quibble.)

You sound like a lier, I mean lawyer. :razz: Have you seen The Riches?

~14" mid-central Maine.....for today(Thurs)...

Just couldn't get started to the Loaf early enough...will be there for early Friday morning. This snow will really provide most any backcountry terrain with enough depth for some nice turns anywhere..as the temps are supposed to hold till next week...
