It's a pretty close call for a nasty ice storm for you up through ORH, I'm almost leaning towards it. Knock like 2C off the surface progs and there you go.

Just gonna have to see how it plays out. If Euro holds serve like it has for 4 days it might be go time. I can tell you one thing.. anyone thinking it gets above freezing within 10-20 miles of the coast are going to be shocked tomorrow when it’s in the 20’s - near 30 tomorrow morning

I’m with my 4 year old son and that area is less kid friendly. I love Sugarbush. We are staying in Rutland though and doubt we can make it up there in the morning given the weather. Might even struggle to get to Killington. Thanks for the input. 

Pico!  Cheaper, great mountain, family friendly, closer!

Too many people bought into the hype machine that was created in the media. Even at the gym this morning I overheard a couple of people talking about receiving 2-3 feet of snow. 

The folly of some on-air mets (Harvey included) putting out big snow amounts 72 hrs before the event, especially with the uncertainty in this system.

If the general public is still thinking that way they are going to be extremely surprised if these models keep going north. There will be an outcry on social media which is really the thing responsible for having to put out snow maps so early. Once some idiot posts a D7 Euro map that shows 2’ up and down 95, it goes viral and becomes unstoppable, even a week out. 

I thought it was funny last night as the 00z models were coming out showing a lot more warmth that Pete B. said that because of the government shutdown, it’s playing havoc with the models lol. Is there any truth to that? Less balloons being being launched and such?

32/15 here now.. wind out of the north at 6 so the northerly drain has started!! were screwed  I think. 

I agree. I'd be very careful about writing off the sig icing potential for northern CT. Plenty of room to wet-bulb are way down. Maybe coastal CT warms into the upper 30's to lower 40's, but I doubt we do in northern CT. At worse we may get a 33 or 34. It's going to be close

84 straddles the 32 line?

Really wondering if it made sense to cancel plans for tomorrow. All those assurances of no above freezing temps seem to have evaporated for my area. Rain and mid 40's tomorrow? I suppose the crashing temps and freeze up will have to suffice for an excuse.

Gonna be tuff to see 40’s

And keep in mind that were numerous news organizations posting stories and images online days before the storm. It's not just "idiots"  The hype for the storm was everywhere online and offline. They wanted the public to "tune in" and they got the public to do so.
