The unofficial somewhat hopeful Friday 2/1 ?storm? thread

[Euler]

It's an odd sort of frozen precipitation that's falling at the moment. Not really snow or sleet, more like rain, but it's already frozen before it hits. It's leaving something that looks and feels like tiny salt crystals. Not ideal, but far, far better than rain.

Same here in the Mt Snow Valley. I'm still hoping for more good than harm from today's precip, It's supposed to change to sporadic rain for a short time, then back to snow at 4AM-ish,

I wonder if it is going to be worth it. Supposed to be in Dedham around 5:30 to meet up with friends then drive up to Jay. I am about 70/30, staying home being 70.

Ski season is to short..you're always bailing out..go skiing cape codder

There's no such thing as a bad day of skiing!

Wawa closed for the night. I wonder how much of damage they are getting.

Due to severe weather we are closing at 4 pm. We will reopen Saturday at 8 am.

Pouring rain here. My thermometer is not working, but it seems to be at or below freezing. The trees appear to be all iced over.

No freezing in the Metro Boston area. It was really pouring torrents Friday afternoon. I drove 45 miles to a school hockey game - I wished I had a jet ski. The puddles were deep in the roads. I'll bet the rivers look interesting this Saturday morning. Bummer.
