blue is right on the line again according to NWS

 

I don't think I've even seen such a huge difference between Allentown and Mt. Pocono before. Either way if I'm skiing in this it'll be at night.

Light snow coming down at Blue..

You and ridge might be near the jackpot zone.  Lucky guys.

One thing to maybe note here, this is going to be a fairly warm snow in the Blue/Montage/Elk region.  gets a little colder in NY, but its just not gonna be a very cold snow.

Yeah I'll be really triggered. I might just hire someone to do the work because I don't wanna.

Let Mother Nature melt the snow and just enjoy walking in a winter wonderland with your wife and your dog.  In the meadow you can build a snowman

NWS is usually on the low side of things, usually.  To me it seems they are really going all in on it.  Im just having trouble believing like Northern Carbon is going to see a foot.  Lets just go with 4-6, and be really surprised when its more, rather than be dissapointed when its a dusting.

Ya I'm not so sure for Blue... I'm considering an Elk day ticket as they will prob get the most on this.

The forecast says 5-8” for Elk.  I actually think camelback could be the Bullseye…they have the elevation and are far enough north.  At Blue I won’t be surprised if it’s lots of rain or very wet snow at the base and serious accumulation near the peak.  

[Benm]

a lot of places are dropping totals but mt holly graphs have not moved at all in the last 3 issuances. unfortunately the warning has not been updated since 3am, so who knows what they're really thinking.

as of now i'm more worried about wind and power outages than the snow. gotta get gas, kerosene and make the generator(s) accessible.

gonna be interesting.

Either way I took off Tuesday night and will be watching the storm and web cams closely!

Me, you, RidgeRacer and MattEdge should book a hotel room at the water park lodge base and we can ski all the perder. Maybe Atomic Skier will bring some extra Castle skis for us all for when it's deeeeeeeep. Then we can all split a hot cocoa 5 ways to save a few pennies

Both of my Pocono weather weirdos are dropping totals as well. and neither were tossing out the big numbers like NWS.  At this point, its kinda like that joke, 1-24".  But lets go with it.  it will probably fall somewhere in there.
