  1. Well this was obviously not what we all hoped for, however, after last year its hard to complain. While I do not have an official measurement for my perch on the mountain my confidence is high that 12” was exceeded but doubtful it would go beyond 14-16. I will survey later once the sun comes up. There were certainly moments of puking snow and wind creating white out conditions. I did not stay up for the upper low backlash but looking at the cameras it certainly delivered 4-6+ in short order. Can really see it pile up on time scroll. Funny my skiers were all cheering for the mega storm. I reminded them when this was obviously going to under perform that 2-3ft powder in the Poconos is really NOT the best conditions for skiing. There is simply not enough vertical and length, unlike say VT, NH and out west. (There are a few exceptions that our trail specific, like razor). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. Not loving the look of the radar. Winds still cranking and puking snow. Just looks to ease up pace sooner.....not later. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. 18F and heavy snow. I’m thinking 5-7 so far but tough with the wind and blowing snow. We are definitely in a snow cloud here. Can’t see anything else.
  4. Just dumping at 2100ft near big Boulder. Can’t measure anything wind is whipping snow everywhere

  6. So you’re saying there is a chance? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. I’m a go big or go home kinda person. Elevation.....latitude. NEPA between Thorpe and Wilkes stretch along the PA TPK. Now tweaking a bit north and west might find the bullseye but also put you in an area with less resources. Been chasing snow in PA for 30yrs. When the true dumps occur...things often take a while before travel becomes safe. 93 blizzard was a fine example....figured on 2ft. Got 3ft and three extra days on the mountain.

  8. Don’t forget the pass on RT 80 Blakeslee through hickory run. I have watched the sliding and crashing from the mosey wood bridge. Scary stretch. Pa is full of them. Driving to cabin near BB saw the travel restrictions kick in at 1pm. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  10. After reading this thread today all I can think about is: Heading up to the cabin tomorrow after lunch. Should be some good obs from 2100ft on the edge of the mountain. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  11. Careful. 2010 was religious in SoMoCo. 6ft base at our house. Drifts to 15ft. We would leave the pocono cabin and wait for my friend and his bucket loader to open our driveway.....week after week. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  13. Indeed. Heading to cabin Tuesday. Take no chances. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. Wow I remember this type of setup when I was a kid. Would drive up to north eastern NJ for holiday visits and the place was buried and street parking not possible. Been a long time coming...... Lets hope
  15. literally the worst thing anyone here could do now is: touch any form of snow removal equipment purchase or physically inspect ANY form of melting/traction product draw a goofy MS Paint snowfall prediction map and post it in multiple threads and Regions Copy and Past the play by play of every MET in the NE Pick a fight with DT Take the Canadian verbatim Trust the NAM outside of 36hrs Now inside 24 hours ALL of the above still apply except: Picking a fight with DT is permitted if not encouraged
  16. I see thing could become interesting next week for the poconos Hope you all are doing well! Ready for some WINTER! Yesterday was just a small taste
  17. word from my family up at Stowe, today was good and tomorrow should be even better
  18. Wow this is turning into a “virtual” reunion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
