3 inches down here. Some good squalls earlier.

We love skiing Platty for St. Patrick's Day because they have fun activities for the kids, plus good corned beef and cabbage. But I'm passing this year. I think what's left of the snow is going to freeze to a brick overnight tonight. At best a few snow showers could make it dust on crust.

Snowgeek that looks great and all, but you're missing out on watching 33 degree drizzle and fog roll over our frozen glacier surface here. Are you sure it's worth it?

Total bustola down here. i see maybe 2 inches on the back porch.

That is interesting. I'm down in central Otsego County and we are pure sleet, have been for over an hour now.

Next year can you post your schedule ahead of time? We're headed to Stowe and I'm bumming big time.

Outstanding day at Plattekill yesterday. Perfect conditions. As crowded as I have ever seen it, which meant waiting up to 5 minutes for the lift. Truly an under appreciated gem.

We skied Plattekill yesterday. 10/10 snow conditions with deep blue sky and sun most of the day. Holding out hope for Bolton/Stowe later this week. So close to a broken neck this morning. Just a few hundredths of frozen drizzle, invisible on our stone walkway.........

When are you leaving? We are headed to Stowe Thursday morning. Staying through Monday. I'm holding out hope that the Friday event produces snow up there. There's no snow depth issues up there so if it wants to be 40F and sunny every day we would gladly take spring skiing conditions. I just don't want rain then a freeze without snow.

This had me thinking last night. The Stowe gondola goes over some really treacherous terrain. How would you get people off that thing if it was stuck? We're visiting in 2 weeks, I'm not really sure I want to know but asking anyway......

Absolutely right. I live right where the "P" is in Cooperstown. I wish I had a bookie so I could bet the under on 11 inches. I would be a rich man.

Snow Ridge looks like money in the bank this weekend. if you can even get there.

Wednesday....oy vey. Why?

Just went out and measured 9 to 10 inches at various spots outside here in northern Otsego County. I heard sleet when I briefly woke around 0400. We just went back over to heavy snow so we lost 3 or 4 hours of accumulating snow to sleet. It's all good by me.....we are cross country skiers and now we have a bulletproof base that should take us into March and beyond.

We're not all lifters. Scrawny 150 pound guy here. Just to even things out!
