New seasonal low of 12.4 this morning. It's been snowing steadily for the last few hours; have probably a little over a half-inch as a result.

Lowest so far this season at 12.7

1.7" the last 2 days. Temps never got above 27. Beautiful winter days (and Wisp opens Friday).

They held lift training Saturday (11/30) for employees, which is one of the last steps prior to opening. Still an internal debate on exactly which day...at least as of yesterday.

Yes, it was me. I have done 4 LES chases since 2022 and love it when I get the location right - but as this latest round shows, its not for the faint of heart. The experience for a snow lover like me being in the middle of a band is truly second to none. I went looking around the Tug for possible cabin locations this summer (ain't much up there) to get a more permanent fix. Your chase sounds absolutely epic. If another LES chase comes up in the future, I'd be there in a New York minute lol.

That band just south of Watertown is epic - but its been frozen in place. Had it not been for the holiday, I'd be sitting in a Watertown Airbnb stewing until steam lifted the cranium off my bald head. The band will move north at some point, but not 70" worth. Very light snow here with about an inch in the last 24 hours. Was very festive decorating the tree yesterday. Cold at 16.5.

I'd like to come up tomorrow morning from Maryland. I see where 90 is closed...is there a good site that you rely on to determine what is passable?would love to link up to the chat since this isn't used very frequently - would you PM me with the link? TY as I'd Ike to chase tomorrow -
Where did you stay? I'm likely heading up Saturday morning but unsure if I'll be able to make it. Might do an Erie chase but Tug looks way better.

The wind was going to be pretty tough at Snowshoe so left early this morning. At least I had this to come home to .

How about the mountains?

It’s funny you mention that because in the middle of the night I hear what sounded like a GE Turbofan jet engine power up and was like what in the ever-loving F is that: .
