Power was expected back on at 9:30, then 10, then 12:30, now 2pm. Time to go skiing after making breakfast on the stove lol

I'm assuming the tracks poaching the lift line are his lol

Over 6"? Figured you would do well on this one. Pretty happy with our 4" before it went over, compacted down to about 2" of slop now. @radarman, any idea how much at Berkshire East? First storm of the year on a holiday weekend and no report, got to love their communication! hahaha

Underwhelming so far. Radar looking like Killington is on the fringes. Killington, Stratton, and Magic reporting 5" earlier. Friend at Magic said they are at about 7-8" now as the report was from 6am. The weird stuff, Mount Snow reports 8", summit cam shows 4". Okemo reporting 0" and the snow stake cam shows no snow either.

Yea, by the time I woke up it was sleet. Rain started around 6am. Have the wood stove cranking and will get the generator going. Given the amount of line down and tree work that needs to be done it's going to be a bit.

WTF happened? Our hill got smoked this morning. Woke up around 4:30 to some decent winds and about 4" of cement. From 5-5:15am the winds went wild. We had a thunderstorm this summer go through with 60+ mph gusts and I would say it approached that. Multiple trees down in our neighborhood and about 200' of power wires are down lining yards and the road. Limbs and broken trees in yards. Currently have a cop blocking off our street. No estimate on power as the winds are still gusting. Rest of town has power and all good.

Damn! Definitely beats the hard ice at Mullins or Greenfield. I had to sharpen my skates at a different level when I started playing in western Mass rinks.

Killington will do well but I'm going with Mount Snow/Magic/Okemo for the jackpot. East side special.

Pretty sweet spot to be. Old Dutch Hill should get smoked.

18Z HRRR colder at the surface but warmer aloft than 12z for our area.

I bet 15 minutes up 202 in Shutesbury at almost 1,300' gets a lot more than we do. Such a cool spot.

Yea, I would save the time and call out for next Sun-Mon's storm lol

I think we have more overs than unders on NWS maps this season. Previous deals like this we typically do 2-3" more than lower valley sections like Amherst and Northampton. I think @HIPPYVALLEY does well and pushes 6" being further north. Weenie mode: engage.

0.9. Love going for a run in this type of cold with a clear night sky.

Happy to see the Bruins break the curse in Washington. Sometimes those visors do more harm than good. Anyone know what the trainer was trying to clog Marchand's nose with? Never seen that before.

Belchertown screw zone. 9* outside but shorts and a t-shirt inside.

Current wind chill on Mount Washington of -76. Damn.

These little streamers are pretty fun to see today. One up on Rt. 2 area now. From Berkshire East.

Right? There was a couple minute period when it was going pretty good. Still dropping cat paws here.

Roads and surfaces are covered, a little streamer has been sitting over us for about 30 minutes now. Some of the best rates of the year sadly.

It is running wild in the valley. Our kiddos school has 5 classrooms with 10-12 toddlers to preschoolers in each room. This week they only had 3 rooms open with 2-3 kids in each room.

Not sure how far of a trip it is for you but when they get some natural Black Mountain of Maine has some pretty amazing glades. Black Mountain NH has some pretty under rated terrain as well. Obviously both are smaller and have older lifts but it keeps the crowds away. And tickets are really cheap. I think NoBoundaries is doing a "free day" at BMOM.

Sorry to hear about your day! Here is a voucher for a free hot chocolate!

Tried and I got 6. Seems to be in-line with the forecast here. Solid science.
