Weekend of December 14th

[ScottySkis]

I might be at Hunter Saturday, if it dumps then Platty on Sunday . Will see. It be cool to make turns with people from here.

yeah... but,

will it end with 'mixing' as so often in the past?

Right now I'm calling it a precip event. There is clearly going to be a rain/snow line. The Ullr pyre is stacked high for a southerly line!

Local weather here in the NEK from the Fairbanks/Eye on the Sky guys this morning hinted that this region is likely to get snow shadowed as usual by the Whites .
I knew shadowing was going to be likely since that is pretty typical of the circulation with these big coastal storms. He said to expect a light to moderate event here (translation 3-6"). Everywhere else in northern NE is due for a pounding.

Hopefully we can pull off at least 8" to get things started around here.

some of the smartest mets I follow on FB/Twitter are poo-pooing this storm and think the models are mishandling some energy and WAY overdoing this.

And if they are wrong they have to come to my house at 3 AM and dig my car out! My money is on a clear driveway at 3am!

I'm pointing the snow tires north from Boston on Monday toward wherever has the most appetizing pow. If anyone wants to carpool, let me know. It will be a long and difficult day, but someone has to do it :beer:

On another note, this morning is one of the rare occasions we get lake effect flurries/snow squalls from Lake Huron here in northern VT! Winds are just right and there is nothing to squeeze the moisture out between here and there.

If Platty gets hit, I may go there on Sun.

You can thank me for failing to get my snows put on last week. Shop stripped my wheel lock key. Need to get to VW where they can remove them with the master set and just put some good old lug nuts on so I don't need to deal with that again ...

not sure what kind of lugs you have but got mine off with a monkey wrench a few years back.

Thanks!

Do what I did - overtighten the nuts so they snap off when you are driving. Easy off, but I had to get new bolts. :dunce:

Wheellocks have special lugs that take a specific "key" to take off. You can't do it with a standard wrench.

my jeep had a wheel lock on each rim...used a 6 to 8 inch monkey wrench and they came off like butter...

probably doesn't work on all locks...good luck

Yeah, they are recessed in the rims. No way to get a grip on them. The tireshop will pay for the work, but I just have to find time to get in and get it done.

Anyway looking forward to a good dump this weekend!

There's nothing stopping me from driving up to VT. Monday morning for a couple or few days if they get a good storm. Actually was planning a few days anyway next week since my pass is blacked out over the holiday.

I love that forecast. Just so you know Platty only planning on opening couple trails off the triple for Saturday.( opening day) but I think they get a lot of snow they will open it all up.
