There used to be a hill on Long Island: http://www.nelsap.org/ny/bald.html
Rutgers has an ecological preserve next to the biomedical research campus I work at. There's a stream in a bit of a ravine, as well as an embankment and causeway crossing it for an abandoned railroad grade. I think tomorrow I'm going to hike out and see if I cant get a couple turns in. Gonna have to break out the rock board though.
Given the temps and the state of the roads I don't think I'll be getting to the Poconos until this weekend.

I'd say I already have 5". This will do 10" easy.

This storm is an example of what I DON'T want: A mostly coastal storm that just messed up my entire work week. Do I really need a foot of snow that I have to shovel and deal with when I work? Not to mention the subzero temps..
My work week is shot. This time last week in Vermont I was looking at it pouring rain. Hard to believe I was reduced to jumping for joy when it did snow about an inch or so to whiten the ground.
Now, on the Jersey Shore, it's accumulating 1-2" an hour. There's at least 6" out there and a foot forecast by tomorrow. I'm definitely thinking about heading to Camelback either tomorrow or Thursday, where it looks like they will actually get some a few inches so I can enjoy the nice fluffy powder. Usually around here it snows wet and slushy but this stuff is light and powdery..perfect skiing snow. Too bad it's on the beach!

I'm in Monmouth and yes, it took me over an hour to get home. Had to move most of my workday and am now working Sunday.
Totally sucks and I want this all to be north too!!Wavewheeler

I'd rather go to Camelback. Will be cold but I've skied cold/windy before. Waiting to see how much falls in the Poconos and if my daughter is onboard for a final decision. She is hoping her class tomorrow is canceled. We are supposed to go next Wed to Camelback but this might be hard to pass up.

Hey BG, remember when I said this would be a KU 10 days ago and you shamed me? Well look at how it turned out;-)
HAHA:grin:
(This Meso band just south of Boston is ripping like hell. 2.5 inches in 1.5 hours)

Just when I thought otherwise, it appears the Poconos will get screwed as usual.
Now predicted to only get maybe 1" to 3" more while it pounds snow to the south.
All is right with the world.

They only canceled class at 3pm, and by then the roads were really getting bad. Glad she made it back OK. Right now they're calling for classes to start at 10am. I don't have to teach until Thursday night though, so I should get the day tomorrow off besides popping into lab quick to check up on some things. Looking at Camelback if the roads permit.
And Ben, not sure how the Pokes are getting screwed out of this. They seem to be the only mountain range seriously benefiting. 6-10 at Blue and Camelback will be real nice tomorrow if anyone is braving the wind and roads. The weekend looks like its going to be the best of the year.

But it's not a KU. I doubt it anyway, unless it maybe sneaks in at the lowest rung.
