Looks like i'll be having the powder special tomorrow morning

Here's a link to GH Lodge's weather station in North River at 2000 feet. Should be a good approximation for conditions at Gore as it is within a few miles:

The system is expected to tap into the moisture from Sub-tropical Storm Olga, which today is pumping heavy rain onto the island of Hispaniola. By Sunday, there will be the potential for a significant snow storm developing in the Northeast.

I know it's early but his map has us in the WHEELHOUSE.

Can we get some updates on what is going on weather wise at the mountain this evening. the radar map makes it look like rain is going to move into the area. Any first hand reports would be welcome.
Thanks

I am not near Gore but its not rain, either snow sleet or freezing rain

From GHL 5 miles from Gore at 2000 feet:

Wednesday, December 12th 9AM +30F, cloudy, windy, light snow. Rain yesterday afternoon and night has turned to a dusting of new snow.

Awwww Yeah!!!!

From GHLs website:

Monday, December 17th :20AM +12F, windy 14"-16" of new snow has fallen.

More than the 10 inches Gore is reporting. And I think its legit.

I would also agree with the GHL assessment, gore had 10'' at the base and definitely more at the summit. I figure I got about 12'' in downtown centerville

Haha, that url I used for the picture is constantly updating . . .

I'll use that to keep track of snow forcasts for the year

OK...this forecast is probably a bit slanted toward northern VT, but it does offer some hope to all northeastern skiers. The forecaster is serious weatherguy and skier:
