Euro looks like it had a little jackpot near Kevin…maybe just east  

I'll take it.

I just posted about that place, learned to ski there.

Went there a couple times as a kid. Was fun then.

Something like 600 ski areas in New England have gone by the wayside. Love seeing the little ones that keep on chugging along.

I'm sure this has been posted here before,  but a good read. I live a few miles from OhHoHo in Woodstock.

Thanks..yes, looking for something all mountain to replace my rip sticks in that category.


.

I had ripsticks, and now have Volkl Blaze 94's. Light, turns easily, and can go kinda fast and straight.  Nice all mountain old guy ski.

Up to 4.5” here in Brooklyn, temp creeping up to 33F

Thought  Brooklyn would be an inch at best. Was hoping for 3" here, way above expectations. 

7" in Woodstock Valley.

Ashford?

Woodstock Valley. Close.

35º and rain with a few mangled flakes, 665'. Hoping for some cold air to work in.

Bedrooms a couple weeks ago. Downstairs big unit yesterday.

Based on no science at all, I expect cold and dry once the rain finishes later this week.

portable generator, does it need to be covered when outside?

In a light rain, it's probably OK. They are air cooled, so any cover needs to allow air in.

What's the timing of the FROPA in CT?

Heavy rain. A little hail now. 

Thursday night is much less crowded at the fair.

Earliest ac install ever.

Nothing going on for 2 weeks. 

Probably not. But then again, not all storms show up correctly on models two weeks out, with the exception of cutters a day or two before Xmas.

He can work at BW and sleep in my barn. I have a room up there on the second floor. 

Barn is good. Will toughen him up. What's BW?

PF or anyone with experience in the ski world...

My 18 yo son has decided that after his first semester of college that it's not for him. He's dreaming of heading out west to find a job at a ski area. I'm not excited, but I get it. Is there a NNE resort that would be a good place for a young kid to try this?

Eastern CT has a ton of power outages and road closures.  There was/is a ton of rain outside NYC. Henri did some decent damage for TS, just not as widespread as predicted.  Or I'm just a weenie. Could be both.

Bigelow brook ,Still river?

Just saw Mt Hope river is around 10.7', and 7' is flood stage. Higher than 1955, and highest since 1938.

Mt. Hope river runs along 89 just north of 44. Schoolhouse Hill is just a few miles from me. Never seen anything like that, even in 2006. Crazy stuff.

Not good at all! Hope this misses NE CT or there will be some major Hydro concerns

There are a few roads closed including 44 near 74 in Ashford and 197 along with some side roads in Eastford. Looking not good if we get another inch or so overnight.

Dude . That’s 10.21 since July 1

Yup. Just cracked 4" since midnight and closing in on 10" since July 1...about 20 miles from Tolland as the crow flies.

Now up to 3.75" on the day and still pouring.
