A lot of times a good storm pops up on the models just a few days before, when they pop up 8-10 days it drives the board nuts anyway analyzing every detail that can go wrong, and we're up and down on every run. I like the late poppers better.
Thought never crossed my mind but nor that you mention it, its a good idea. I also checked New Hampshire, according to reports, a lot more people are going to Vermont than New Hampshire so I did look into that. Northern Maine is also an option.
I just flipped, once you see those big fatties you know your time is coming. Maybe I can pick up an inch on the back end, have 2 now, forecast was 2-5 so it's dead on here.
