BTV uses those colors too.

It’s hard to see but this is my PWS set up. I mounted it on a white board off the corner of my deck using shelving brackets. It’s 7’-8’ off the ground. It’s not perfect but does a decent job. I also have an NWS employee who lives not far from me and I check my measurements with what they report when the PNS comes out. Usually within about a half inch either way.

BTV had things starting between 6:00 and 8:00pm. Looked out the window for what appeared to be the first few flakes and then it ramped up to something between light and moderate.

Latest from BTV

Yes, I don’t want any of it. I’m not expecting my opinion to actually impact anything.

Yogi Berra speaks! (Fellow old guys will get that)

This is ALY’s latest.

Of course I could just look it up. BTV's map is more recent.

Bennington and Windham counties are ALY territory so I don't know if that is the actual BTV forecast or they pilfered it from ALY.

BTV is even more bullish now.

Warnings up here too.

Where has pickles been? You would figure he would chase somewhere in the Monadnocks.

I circled the wrong spot for the airport. Corrected below.

I think it will be busy. The town isn't very big. There are a couple of hotels and restaurants in town but not a lot else. I think the best place to be might be the State Park and beach on the other side of the lake or the airport. I've circled both in red below.

Wow. Must be expecting the NEK to be completely shadowed.

He's upgraded? I thought he still had one of these.

@J.Spin BTV posted a new map

I think you’re right but some of us are checked out, well, I am. I’m ready for golf.

You going JMA and ICON?

I guess I just want to make sure I experience totality. That was my first thought but then I started looking closely and noticed how close I was.

The edge of totality is almost literally over my head. I’m not sure how far NW I’ll drive to get into it.

Oh how we pray.
