    Release the Cat on a recon mission - certain they'd find some willing souls to help measure & assess!
    No mountain too steep
    No powder too deep

    (well, not exactly)

    The latest forecast from Josh Fox....looking very good.

    The first area of precipitation brought 4-6 inches of snow, sleet and freezing drizzle to the northern Green Mountains. As expected, the evening and overnight hours should be relatively quiet although sporadic freezing drizzle could cause trouble on some of the roads. The second low pressure center is spinning its wheels across the Midwest and beginning to push east. It is a very dynamic system with some vigorous jet stream support as alluded to in previous posts. Temperatures in the lowest few thousand feet of the atmosphere, based on some cross sectional analysis will be a bit marginal during the early morning Friday so when precipitation re-commences in earnest between 5 and 7 am it might be more of a sleety rain. By 9 AM the lower troposphere will have destabilized significantly and we should see rain change to snow and temperatures to turn abruptly colder. Snow should continue through much of the day and could at times become heavy during the evening Friday. 6-12 inches of powder Friday and Friday night is a conservative estimate. I would not at all be surprised if we outperform. A lot of the NWS forecasts will be tailored to valley locations where accumulations will be substantially less. Right now for instance the NWS forecast for Washington County says 1-3 Friday with an 80 percent chance of snow Friday night.

    As decribed by the FIS guys, this snow will be landing "right side up". With the damp stuff landing first, but as the temp drops the product will just get lighter and lighter.

    My understanding is that winds will be an issue tomorrow.

    Round one down. So far so good. Round 2 on deck. No whammies.
    This weekend is shaping up nicely.

    It was sort of buried in the snow report under Additional Notes.

    I was being facetious. All over that action.

    Will there be enough snow for Castlerock or North Lynx lifts to open this weekend? Maybe if the wind slows and the tempature is not too cold we could see the Slidebrook Chair open as well.

    According to the snow report, Castlerock will be open for hiking access only from the top of Heaven's Gate.

    Going to be way too cold for Slide Brook Chair on Saturday and Sunday ... not sure about the snow cover on the access roads out there.

    Dress warmly, folks! Forecast for the valley is saying +11 on Saturday and +6 on Sunday.
