For some reason I can't cut and paste what I wanted out of the NWS forecast discussion.

But I have heard talk, of a coastal low.

This really hasn't changed much. Where's anybody skiing on Thurs or Friday?  K?

I don't have a lot of confidence in this one.  I think the only skiing I'll be doing is some local XC.
The day begins...  Your mountain awaits.

I'd be pumped if it was enough to open 4H and Old Faithful at Garnet Hill.

Or maybe Belle.

Kinda cool for Gore skiers than Northern Warren was upgraded (lol) to a Winter Storm Warning.

Platte looks good too.

^ That pink extrusion is a little disturbing.

I hear this storm has been named Cato. It brings Inspector Clouseau to mind: "not now Cato, you fool!"

Got 7" and counting on my deck's fence posts at the Warren-Essex County line due north or Gore.

Looking good for Friday, especially since all the snow was gone from the north side yesterday.

Bands of heavier snowfall set up a couple hrs ago. One's touching Gore area. Looks to drift right on over Gore. Per WTEN.

It does appear so. Looks Plattyish too.  Zelda looked and called wheelhouse.

Not to derail the NY snow stoke but can anyone explain the anomalous no-snow hole in NoVt, as shown above? Clearly it is proof positive that Jay Peak gets no snow and always has boilerplate ice.

I think that Jay is far from the source of the radar. (BTV?)
And this is a somewhat southerly track and
The part of Jay that will get more snow than the surrounding area is too small to see on radar.

I believe that Jay Peak will get more than it "deserves" considering it so far from the storm.
