Decent March storm, loved the big wet flakes when those were happening. We flipped way early to sleet though, so no expecting BOS to end up with anything over 10" when it's all said and done (I feel like the official number will be around 8"). 

Looked amazing out in PA/NY/VT though, what a beast!

No, went to Kmart because I have a pass there (I'm cheap). But honestly LOVE Magic and if I could afford a pass there I would buy one and split my skiing between the 2. Magic should do very very well from this. But from what I hear-and what I saw- K is in the jackpot zone. Tomorrow will be GOOD

Any idea how Okemo is doing?  Planning on Okemo and Pico this weekend.

Just had bark ripped off a tree. The house is shaking. The coop is about to blow away. Recorded my strongest wind gust ever here with an anemometer that needs new bearings...49mph. It probably was 60+ with an accurate anny and proper siting. 

Jesus H another gust to 47mph

Ryan just did a core sample on his 12.5" and came up with 1.98"

Models did not miss the qpf 

Not sure home much fell here but there was 0.00" reporting from the snow and 1.85" of rain.  So it was easily over 2" of QPF here.

Berkshire East was very snowy and ropes were nowhere in sight but you didn't want to dig in the edges too hard.  Point em and float.

Kmart should be very good indeed tomorrow, might well be worth the trip.

About 16" down at Magic, just skinned and hit it. Serious wind drift stuff though. Bare spots then a 3' drift. Pico Thursday should be nuts. Hoping this 2" per hour stuff keeps up late into the night.

Congrats!!!

I just cranked the heat in here because lights started flickering.

 Not used to windy storms here, made for better coverage in the woods, which I quickly walked out of after a big gust. 

About a foot here but tromping through the yard and woods the snow was definitely well over my Sorrels in places.

 With a foot of snow I have no right to complain about a bust, I guess.  ; )
