I'm driving past Greek Peak early Saturday morning and am wondering how much is supposed to come out of this event?

My son has baseball tryouts tomorrow so we will probably head north to Newport Saturday afternoon and try Jay on Sunday unless the weather forecast is a complete washout. Might go anyway in case the forecast is wrong. There's probably a good chance of that this time around. Anybody else heading north to Jay or are most of you in a "wait-and-see" mode? At least I'll have some time tonight to try to fix a core shot I picked up at Crotched skiing off-pist/on-granite. Might just throw down some wax and sharpen everybody's edges in case it's not a snowy event. Does anyone know if the Jay 2-for-1 coupons are still on the net? I can't find them anymore. Anywhere else to get Jay 2-for-1? Otter Creek sixers? I have my VT Lung Association Ski-n-Ride card that I can use for (1) pair of 2-for-1's but I need a second 2-for-1 deal for my kids. BTW, for you folks living in NH and skiing Jay on Saturdays, we hit Burke on the way home last week and 1/2 day Sunday afternoon tickets are only $15. Great deal and a lot easier to get to on the way home than Wildcat if you're running behind schedule.

Weather not looking good for most of New England tomorrow. Heavy rain throughout most of the region. Maybe some snow at the end of the storm. UGH !!!

not all eastern skiing has been so bad this week. i skied the most amazing hero corn at sunapee this mid-week and i know a few other places were skiing fantastically as well. nice thing about corn snow is that every turn feels as good as the one before and it lasts alot longer than the other type of soft snow we all love so much. come on spring!

Yep, just spoke to my mother in Camillus and she said it's coming down hard.
Sounds like some East Hill earn-your-turns is in order.

I heard of very good skiing at Gore in the afternoons the last two days as well.
If we can get frozen anything tonight it will help us stay in position base-wise to score with another, colder storm. Looks like from the radar right now it's borderline in the Adks, and VT.

yeah, even if from here on in we have an average spring weather wise, with the base we have up high, good skiing should be good here till summer. mid season is here with the best yet to come.

It looks like this is a weather thread, so I've pasted in my posts to Eastern from last night and this morning for a weather update about what's gone on in this area:
Eveing Burlington/Waterbury weather update (Friday 07MAR2008)
Here’s an update from the Burlington/Waterbury area for this evening. I was leaving work at UVM in Burlington at around 6:30 P.M., and I could swear I felt a couple of sprinkles hit my face while I was in the parking lot. The air certainly felt like precipitation was close, but I couldn’t confirm anything on my car windshield. At around 6:45 P.M., I was in South Burlington near the airport and what I have to describe as “intense sprinkles of rain” came down rather suddenly. By the time I was in the Williston/Taft Corners area, there was moderate rain, and when I finally left Williston at about 8:30 P.M., it was a total downpour. A few minutes later I was driving east on Route 2, and as I examined the huge drops of rain hitting the windshield of my car, I could see that there were ice crystals in there… I knew snow had to be close. It looked like snow had started to mix in as I went through the center of Williston, and suddenly when I hit the top of French Hill, the intense rain changed over to intense snowfall. The snowfall mixed back in and changed to rain as I descended into Richmond near I-89 exit 11, and then switched back to snow as I hit the center of Richmond. It went back and forth between rain and snow until about Jonesville, and it was all snow from there on out. As I approached our house in Waterbury, I could feel that Route 2 was just started to get slushy, and when I pulled onto our road I could see that it was already accumulating snow. I didn’t have a thermometer in the car, but at the house as of ~9:30 P.M. we’re just a bit above freezing at 33.4 degrees F, and there’s ~0.4 inches of wet snow on the snowboard so far. When I looked at our Burlington NWS point forecast earlier this afternoon, I was very surprised to see that they have us down for 3 to 7 inches of snow/sleet tonight (pasted below). It seemed like a lot to me based on what they had for the surrounding areas, but they still have that entry on their page as of this evening so we’ll see what happens I guess. Currently we’ve got light/moderate snowfall outside.

NWS Burlington, VT
Point Forecast: Waterbury VT
Lat/Lon: 44.33 -72.75 Elevation: 499 ft
Tonight: Periods of rain, snow and sleet. Low around 31. Calm wind becoming north around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow and sleet accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.
March 8th, 2008: 6:00 A.M. update from Waterbury, VT.
New Snow: 0.6 inches (snow/sleet)
Liquid Equivalent: 0.41 inches
Ratio: 1.5 to 1
Snow Density: 68.8% H2O
Temperature: 33.6 F
Humidity: 98%
Barometer: 28.53 in Hg
Wind: Calm
Sky: Cloudy
Cumulative storm snow total: 0.6 inches
Cumulative storm liquid total: 0.41 inches (frozen precipitation only)
Current snow at the stake: 25 inches
Season snowfall total: 179.9 inches
After yesterday evening’s exciting wintry drive back from the Burlington area, it snowed here for the next hour or two, and then mixed with sleet. As djy reported from Burlington, we had some of those episodes of huge snowflakes, although I didn’t see any of the silver dollar size here, more like quarter to half-dollar size. For a while the huge flakes were popping out of the sky among the sleet in a neat display of mixed precipitation. I headed off to bed at around midnight, and that’s where the precipitation left off as far as I could tell. This morning there was a slushy 0.6 inches of accumulation on the snowboard, with 0.41 inches of liquid equivalent that I obtained from a core sample. Even though it was snowing by the time I got home yesterday evening, I know there was at least some rain here earlier because I had called my wife and that’s what she reported. I don’t have a rain gauge set up, so my liquid equivalent measurement represents just the frozen portion of this event. I wiped the snowboard clean, so it’s now ready for the next round of precipitation. With the way that we seemed to be on the verge of snow changeover down here in the valley for a while yesterday evening, I figured the mountains would do a bit better with snowfall accumulations. So far I’ve only been able to get new snowfall numbers from some of the local areas, but they’re listed below. The list is from north to south as usual, so it looks like generally a couple inches of accumulation for the mountains around here, with less as you head south:
Burke: 2 inches
Stowe: 2 inches
Mad River Glen: 2 inches
Sugarbush: 2 inches
Pico: 1 inch
Killington: 1 inch
