Fozz

Makes sense. I had that issue in Lancaster, PA, which was in between radar sites and didn't get the best signal. Incredible event nonetheless.

Pretty incredible, yet the streamer barely shows up as a blip on the KGYX radar (looking northwest of Concord). Is that usual for these highly localized snow squalls?

I saw the video Lisa posted on Facebook... pretty incredible.

Had a good time at Wildcat. Wildcat     

Just purchased the Epic Local. Looking forward to Stowe and Okemo this year, as well as Wildcat again.

Also Mt Snow and Hunter.

I didn't buy any pass yet. I looked up the benefits and discounts and did not see that 50% discount for Stowe or Okemo. Maybe it's only for people who already bought a pass before the merger closed. I'm leaning towards Epic local.

At this point I'm considering two options for skiing: Drifter pass + MRG seasonal pass ($650 total) Epic local pass ($719) Either choice would include all the Peak resorts, but if I get the Epic local, then instead of MRG, I'd be able to ski Okemo, Sunapee, and usually Stowe (except for blackout days). Stowe is also somehow a bit less of a drive than MRG. Okemo seems like the perfect mountain for me as an intermediate skier. If I wanted to be cheaper, I could get the Drifter pass alone, but then I'd only have a few decent options in New England, with none in northern VT, and to me that isn't enough. What are your thoughts?

Magic is another mountain I'd like to visit. I've heard good things about it.

I hardly found any lines at Wildcat. Mt Snow was pretty crowded though, probably because of its proximity to the big metro areas. But yeah, late season skiing is underrated, and while I was up there I literally forgot it was the first day of spring because it was still so wintry. The snow depth was pretty incredible around Pinkham notch, and I also took a little tour up to 4200' on Mt Washington. I look forward to getting back up there soon. Hope your boy enjoys the mountains as much as we do. Childhood is such a good time to pick up skiing.

I was at Mt Snow and Wildcat last March, and I drove all the way from MD to get all the way up there. I enjoyed both mountains, and I especially enjoyed being at Mt Snow on a powder day, but I've been told there is so much more to Vermont than Mt Snow, and I'm willing to drive to see the best of it. Wildcat is nearly as far from my location as MRG, but I still definitely want to make some trips up there. Crotched is the closest Peak resort and it seems to have the cheapest lessons, so that will probably be my "home mountain" so to speak (Wachusett is the closest, but I don't want to double the money I spend on passes just for that). As far as the cost, MRG offers a much better deal for the under 30 crowd than any other good mountain in the area, and after this year I won't have another chance to get a pass that cheap.

I'm an intermediate skier, but after some practice at Crotched and Wildcat, and maybe Mt Snow, I'd like to give MRG a try. From the pics and videos I've seen, it's an amazing place on a powder day. For a long time I've wanted to ski in northern VT, but the other mountains are way too expensive to justify traveling that far. Maybe next year I'll get the Epic pass.

I'm thinking of getting both the Drifter pass and the seasonal pass for MRG, which is very cheap if you're under 30.

Maybe... I'll probably make a decision about ski passes next month since I'm not yet settled, but Wachusett is the closest decent ski area to my location so I'm kinda interested.

There's only one on my list that I experienced in New England: the Feb 2013 blizzard. Hopefully I'll soon have more to add now that I'm most likely here to stay.

I-70 seems to be the line. Just a few miles up the west loop of 695 made a massive difference between the haves and have-nots. Oh well, still waiting for a big storm this winter.

Whenever someone comes up with a map for this storm, it's going to have a heck of a cutoff.

March 30, 2014. Not sure if you were in Carroll county that year, but the ridges got like 8-9" while a few miles away received next to nothing.

If that's a mean... then I have no words. And it's only 15 days. If anything even close to that happens, then today's disappointment will be a distant memory for those of us who didn't score this time.

For DCA that's incredible.

4.3" just north of the beltway. But it's often the other way around too, especially when mixing is involved.

It was good for November (just over 3" here), but the really good totals were further north and west. I guess there are just a few of us left in the subforum who haven't had a warning criteria storm yet. Hopefully that will soon change.

Congrats to all the DC people... 8-12" is an amazing total and it seems pretty widespread south of I-70. Many of you haven't seen a big storm in years, so I hope you all enjoy this one.

I think the issue is with the radar. For some reason it depicts the bands a bit further north than where they actually are. I noticed that myself in Woodlawn when the radar showed me on the southern edge, yet it was ripping. But then further north on 695 into supposedly better returns, it tapered off. Seems like I-70 is the cutoff between the haves and have-nots.

4.2" here. Picked up about a half inch since daybreak.
