Let's talk about something entirely more useful. Does anyone have the straight poop on the snowfall from this event? SB can't get their act together on the website. Woke up yesterday with a report of 0". By 4PM it was 1" in 24 hours and 3" in 48 hours. Where did that extra 2" come from?

Now this morning it's 7" in 24 hours, 9" in 48 hours and 6" in 72 hours. I may not have taken college level calculus, but that equation escapes me. Then you look at the text - 3" overnight - just confuses things further. Is it REALLY so dofficult to put up a reasonably accurate snow total that conforms with basic mathematical principles?

How much has fallen in this thing and what's it doing now?

I would say 7" overnight is correct. If you figure the snow report like a sudoku puzzle you might get the answer after eliminating the other choices. The wind was blowing pretty hard at 8am this morning up there, so windhold will be an issue.

Taking your point that someone needs to do a little remedial arithmaetic, I will say that those that ski powder up there had big smiles on their faces.

( I did hear a rumor of someone wanting a refund because there was too much snow, but...

How much did we get?

I don't know.

There were runs where the snow was barely over my skis. There were others where I was in waist deep powder. (Guess which ones will be the ones I remember? )

How do you measure that?

I'd say we didn't get enough. But I would say that if we got 3 feet, too.

I heard yipping and yells of "Awesome!" from the lifts.

I've got about 4 or 5 inches on my deck... but the skiing isn't all that good there.

6"+ is forecast for our area. Late Tuesday rain to turn to snow, and continue snowing well into Weds.... I wonder....

Noaa just updated it to 8' to 14" for Washington County. Plow is going back on.

My guess is that it will be a little lower than that where your customers are. This event will be highyl elevation dependant. Expect maybe 18" at the peaks with just a few slushy inches in the valley.

Snow only on the mountain? Sounds great to me!

Wednesday will be my last ski day of the season.

Would be GREAT to have it end on a powder day!

Snow/rain mixture starting around 8:00 instead of the 12:00 they were talking about yesterday.

Can't ski today, but hoping tomorrow will be the day.

Most of my customers are at higher elevations, and most of those are 2nd home owners(not here). Hopefully I will get some.

Lostone: Tomorrow will be the day!!!! Roger Hill says it could be the biggest storm of the season. In with a bang, out with a bang and not much bang in between.

1" and the birch trees are leaning over already. Guess I better fill up the water bucket and find the candles.
