Just great. Flying into Newark late morning Friday. I am going to pay for all this sun and sand.....
edit- and SB has hit the 293" I predicted last fall.
It seems like most of the models are pushing it out to sea but some are not. Keep your eye on this during the rest of the week.

Remember that I guaranteed you a heavy snow event when I booked my April 1st flight to Sanibel.Originally Posted by Treeskier

From accuweather: 'more accumulation will occur over the "colder" ridges and hilltops, as opposed to the "warmer" valleys. This is why we refer to this as an "elevation storm."'
I'm going to follow our house rule on this one: "Ski in it, don't drive in it." I'll be on the hill Friday morning.
Another note at the end of that accuweather piece:
Still Not the Last Snow?
Indications are that the volatile weather pattern will continue well into April. While the overall temperature trend will bring less intense cold, moderate cold could hook up with storms in such a way to bring yet more snow.
Web cam shows a bare roof on Gate House Lodge. I've been amped up for days. Has this been just an elborate April Fool's prank?
Still happily (tho maybe not quite as ecstatically) coming up to ski, but what gives?
Anyone on the ground up there or any of you weather bugs have any thing to share as to whether or not I should be rising at the crack of 9 tomorrow for first chair or not?
The whole system went east. Looks like it's snowing although not accumulating on the webcam. Certainly not going to see what we expected this time yesterday. BTV is still calling for 4-8" but the way the radar looks, we'll be lucky to see that even.Originally Posted by Yard Sale
It appears that you are finally coming to the realization that nobody controls the weatherOriginally Posted by Yard Sale
Also consider that the roof of the building, being a warm spot, will melt the snow.
And as for tomorrow why bother? Leave the tough skiing to me.
That is a sobering depiction of reality. Luckily I'm wearing rose colored goggles. So I guess I'll see ya in line then .Originally Posted by summitchallenger
Howie, thanks for keeping an eye on things even though you're banged up. Nice work! Heal fast and good.
Truth be told, I've made the switch to spring baseball mode. But I have to keep an eye on things for the drive up tonight. Just because I'm on the DL doesnt mean the wife and kids aren't going to ski.Originally Posted by Yard Sale
The snow blended very nicely on the slopes and slid very nicely off cars , roads and roofs. ; } Things were variable but all in all a nice ski day. Some woods were sweet , others a bit chunky. Tomorrow and beyond should be interesting.
epic fail on the storm. nothing on the roads the whole way up until i hit west hill. maybe an inch at the house.
Yeah, turns out this was a cruel April fools day joke. But hey, it's April, everything's open (except ME) with a deep base...
