The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the northern Green Mountains of Vermont and the Adirondacks in New York. The western facing slopes of the mountains could recieve 4-8" with locall 12" amounts in favored locations. Sounds good to me!!! For more info check out http://www.weather.gov
 
Hopefully this will come together. It still looks good at noon on Thursday. Winds are howling in western NY (60-70mph gusts from Buffalo to Rochester). Moisture is back there too...and that should slowly migrate over to northern NY, VT, and maybe NH by this evening. Temps need to fall a little more though as they are still in the 40's over most of Vermont. Looks like snow is falling by the time most areas hit 37-38 degrees(over western and now central NY) but its having a very hard sticking as one could imagine. Temps are now down below freezing in the hills south of Buffalo, though. <BR> <BR>Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks is at 1,000+ feet in elevation is at 32 degrees with snow. It's coming. <BR> <BR>-Scott
 
I would really like to be at le Massif today... with a forecast of 35-45cm (14-18")of snow today, at the BOTTOM of the mountain. This means probably over 60cm on the top part (2 feet) <BR> <BR>Too bad they just open on dec 12 doh !!! <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/sad.gif" ALT=":(">
 
ohh, pic of today ! <BR> <BR>Effectively, there was something like 8" on this pic and they were forecasting another 10-16" of snow on the mountain. <BR> <BR><IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/messages/8/2949.jpg" ALT="Massif nov-13">
 
Congrats to Powderfreak, known in other circles as "Doppler 2000" <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/wink.gif">, for calling this one right on the money. He picked Jay to be the real winner (never a bad bet, anyway, when orographic lift is involved) with a foot or more, and they were...with 18". Stowe reported 17" (oddly, less on the mountain than there was in "surrounding spots in town"), and everyone else was an also-ran. Some storm totals are in a story in today's <A HREF="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/news.shtm" TARGET="_blank">Ski News section</A>.
 
Don't know if this is true but I just heard through a guy at work that, "...there's 24" and it's still comin' down!" at Jay Peak.
 
I believe it, anon, for at 9:21 a.m. this morning the official National Weather Service hydrology station, which is at the <I>base</I> of Jay Peak and not at the summit, was reporting 13 degrees with light snow falling and a storm total of 18". The latest observation for Montpelier is 26 degrees with mixed precipitation. Jay has a habit of hanging onto a cloud and wringing any moisture from it long after the precip stops all around it, so 24" and still coming down is totally believable.
 
Effectively, on their website, it's written 18-24" of new snow on the mountain ! <BR> <BR>wow !!!!! but they delayed their opening for november 28... weird...
 
LOL : Mont Orford received 16" of powder on the bottom of the mountain and the cross country skiing will be open this weekend... but not the alpine skiing <IMG SRC="http://www.firsttracksonline.com/discus2/clipart/sad.gif" ALT=":("> <BR> <BR>Just too much frustrating that here and in the north, we only got some Water... almost no snow.
 
Take a look at Jay Peaks photo archives, shows a ton of the white stuff. <A HREF="http://www.jaypeakresort.com/page.asp?intNodeID=10688" TARGET="_top">http://www.jaypeakresort.com/page.asp?intNodeID=10688</A> <BR> <BR>drove through vermont today, looks pretty good around the stowe region, about 8 inches of snow in the valley locations, so i am sure the tops of the mountains have a lot more <BR>porter
