Right on Brother!

nice.
will be reporting totals tomorrow night before bed and tues morning.

Fwiw, local TV weathermen are calling this Thursday-Saturday snow a " Significant " event. It was a year ago that we had that Nirvana snow......'member? Of course you do.

As of 5pm today, Accuweather is still sticking with the map Matt posted above.

Everything else I'm reading indicates an increased likelyhood that this thing will move too far east to hammer Gore. More like a NH/Maine thing with No VT getting it's usually killer wrap around.

UNDERSTAND ... to me it seems like we've now got a 50/50 shot at a big one, whereas this morning it seemed more like 70/30.

I'm still hopeful for something epic, and pretty confident of a decent snowfall even if it's not epic.

Got to sack and get on the road tomorrow am for North River.

Maybe have some coffee with that cheesecake to boost the octane.

yuck yuck yuck!

F it, i'm putting out a whole buffet table with every dessert i can think of.

Cheesecake, Layer Cake, Wedding Cake, Pineapple upside down cake, Pies, Cookies, Complete ice cream selection with toppings and hot fudge to seal the deal.

we need this to happen, plus, i've got a friend coming up, supposed to leave saturday AM, but hopefully we end up skiing sat AM instead.

First things first .... for my MegaHarv totals. Gore called the snowfall from Monday 5 inches. I had six inches here (2000') ABOVE the crust and it's had two days to settle. Garnet Hill Lodge called Monday's event 7 inches. How much did we get?

From what I'm seeing on the ground here ... I think another 5 inches would put more tree skiing in play if only for a few days.

OK the weather. Pretty much general agreement that the coastal storm is going to be too far east to really pound us. Looks like Maine is the place to be this weekend.

Accuweather is the outlier, they still have us getting significant snowfall. I can't find anyone else who agrees with that.

Still. When we stopped at the Clifton Park rest area to let our women folk use the facilities, NWS had the word "light snow" across the next 4 days for Gore/WF. Since then they have removed the work "light" and are just using "snow." Best probability is 70% for Friday night.

Still could change. I must say it's convenient to have TWO storms headed our way - one in the upper midwest, and one in the south. Something's got to hit us. From the reports I've read, even six inches would really matter.

Did anyone check out the FIS update? I'll tell you one thing - those guys REALLY are providing a service. FIS Forecast update here:

It's great to be back in town!

The live weather forecasts from Channels 10 and 13 say to expect a good amount of snow (Kovachik said "heavy") thru Sunday morning in the higher elevations north of Albany in the ADKs and Green Mts because of a high in Greenland that will keep the snow stuck and circling back around counterclockwise (or something like that).

Nobody can be wrong more often -- and still keep their jobs -- than the local meteorologists . . . but still!

Check out the storm track map ... this storm is "retrograding." Basically going past us and then coming back. Pretty dramatic...

The Perfect Storm of Oct/Nov, 1991 did a retrograde. It looks like Maine will get dumped on.

Seriously, what does it take to update this ...it's snowing on Long Island, how's it filling in over there?

Weather.gov promised 1-2" last night and up to 2" today - got nothing so far

1-2 inches by 11 am today at exit 18. hasn't snowed since.

I was at Hickory today, a mere 18 miles from my house and it looked like they got nothing new last night.

It not currently snowing.

Local weather just said a potental 8-12 inches by Sunday night. Windy.

Lets hope they are right on this one. We need more snow.
