Might have been a nice Gathering this weekend at Killington...

NWS forecast for Killington shows rain for the coming weekend... High in the 40’s. Snow would be soft.

Wait. Where are you? I'm on the North Shore. I've got white in the air but not on surfaces.

North Andover - fairly near where 93 and 495 cross.
It's about 2 inches now, and still accumulating quickly.

That's the town down in the valley, the on mountain forecast is better. Snow in the morning, a chance of rain in the afternoon, highs in the mid-30's.

But now, better is worse!

Got a good 6" so far here near Stowe.

I've been cooped up and working from home for over a week and currently on a conference call with my US and Chinese colleagues, let me dream!

Yep.. Good 6-7” here.

Ok, back to New England normal.... a good snowstorm turns to rain.

I tuned our families skis and put summer wax on them. It was a sad day yesterday.

Snow/sleeted about 4 wet inches here in NW Ct. Did a 30 minute XC lap around the local golf course as it definitively turned to rain.
Definitely my last ski of the season.

 

[wooglin]

Six plus inches. Biggest snowfall of the season. <eyeroll>

We got about equal amounts in S NH as we did in Lincoln, I’d guess 6-8” total. Just drove north to check on the house & shovel a path for oil delivery. Its eerily desolate in town... even more than the month of April when its considered a ghost town between seasons.

And then New England reality sets in (see post 1262) 20 hours later

Unfortunately Ski Blandford outside Westfield Mass has decided to close its doors forever. The owner of butternut bought it , put a lot of money into it but the last two Winters were pretty brutal. Plus not much advertising. Its too bad, was a fun place with a variety of terrain.

Always disappointing when another area enters the NELSAP (lost ski areas project) archives.

Let's hope this virus doesn't add too many more to the NELSAP.
