to those of us up since before the crack of dawn this is old news, but good enough to bare repeating.

Keep on dancing!

Other then the snowmaking sound

There seems to be a "Quiet before the storm" feeling here near the base of ME.

Isn't it great?!?!

Ok is this like not talking to a pitcher throwing a no-hitter?

From what I can tell the forecasts call for 6-12 inches. Is that at base or can there be more up top (I think we all deserve to have some greedy thoughts)?
I have to work in NYC tomorrow, so I'm hoping wednesday morning is worth the driving up tomorrow night.

Okay, we're officially down to 4-8, but I will officially take it.

According to NWS, as of 6:00PM:

"6 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW IS EXPECTED TO FALL FROM MIDNIGHT TUESDAY
THROUGH MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY WITH THE GREATEST ACROSS THE NORTHERN
GREEN MOUNTAINS."

If I were to take a gander, I'd say we'll get 8 in the valley, and 12-14 on the summits. But that's just a wild guess... we'll have to wait and see what happens. All I know for sure is that it's gonna snow!

Of course, I'd like to see 18-24, but I don't think that will happen

. I guess I'll be happy with whatever we get.

I'm staying up until there is 1" on the ground....

Not doubting you, just wondering what site you're using...

National Weather Service Winter Storm Warning. I tend to stick to the NWS reports... they're usually ALMOST accurate compared to everyone else. nws.noaa.gov. They're still saying 6-12.

Yes... I think we all need the comforting security of watching snow accumulate before we can sleep!

Ah, here's the good page...

http://www.weather.gov/view/prodsByS...pe=allwarnings

I've been looking at the forecast for Moretown, which has the Montpelier 4 to 8 forecast, but the Eastern Addison County etc one below that seems more appropriate

Oh, really good radar for anyone who wants to see also... http://weather.unisys.com/satellite/...ad_loop-12.gif

I'm 35 miles north of NYC in the Hudson valley and it's 37 degrees and raining now.
