It's about time.
In plain-speak, BFP says it best:
Usually in Vermont, winter weather initially comes in fits and starts, and early snow and cold snap hits, then retreats fast for some more late fall warmth.
Finally, at some point, usually in early December, winter hits for good. This year, the start of winter in Vermont is Saturday.
A kind of weird storm -weird because it’s going backwards – is off the Maine coast and is heading westward. That means snow is coming to Vermont this weekend.
Most of it will fall over the northern half of the state, especially away from the Champlain Valley. A winter weather advisory is up for north central and northeastern Vermont Saturday afternoon through Sunday for an expected four to eight inches of snow.
Everybody will see some new snow on the ground, and there’s no sign temperatures will get above the mid 30s for more than a week. In fact, it will keep getting colder all week, and we’ll have typical midwinter weather probably by Friday. (lows near 10, highs in the 20s)
So, if you didn’t get your fall chores done, you’re out of luck. If you are looking forward to winter sports, now’s your time to rejoice.

It flurried all day but with no new accumulation. The interesting thing is that I drove to Lyndonville and they had almost no measurable amounts of snow on the ground, while up here on the mountain it looks as if we just got dumped on. Hopefully overnight we should get some more snow, in which case we will probably hike as there would be enough to ride on. Fingers crossed!

Yea, this weekend kinda fizzled. Wish I could get some mid-week days off but I will have to await next weekend when there will be enough base for skiing any non-rocky trail. If we get a little storm prior to next weekend and a foot this mid-week, next weekend will be one of my favorite perfect storms: not much terrain open and a ton of powder on a thin but deep enough base. Bring it!

Just checked out snowforecast.com, and they're calling for over foot Monday through Tuesday for Sunday River. Just switched a shift so you know who has Wednesday off! Sweet times!
Northern Maine has the best shot at this so I hope this works out for you John!

You're not looking so good. I recommend you take off Wednesday. You should be all refreshed when you come back.
Funny isn't it, when you take an R&R day off, you come back more tired than when you left, but you've got this grin on your face....

I'll suffer through it, take one for the team!

Yesterday on Burke we had gotten not much but overnight we got some more goods. We have a solid 6 inches at circa 1500 feet and the top part of the mt looks very frosty. Looks good enough to hike up.

A quick look up and down cams on the green mt. spine, shows pretty good snowfall. It's going to be a "plowable event" quite soon!

Sorry Masskier no pictures. But we did just come back from hiking almost to the top. It was phenomenal and much more snow than I expected. 10-12 inches so far and currently snowing heavier than ever since it started a couple of days ago. We rode down all ungroomed and it was super sweet. A little hard but very enjoyable and plenty of snow. It was great and there is at least 1 foot past 3000 feet. Since we left, around 1:30pm, there is an extra 1-2 inches and its coming down heavy. Groomers were out on Warren's way working the snow in, because of it we chose Bear Den almost the whole way down. Then we cut over into Knightslayer which is the new bike trail and it was so much fun. Burke is set for an awesome opening day.
