Post by Stymie »

Looking to come up tomorrow early... r*in/ice at Magic earlier this morning. What's it doing at kmart right now? I can't tell looking at the K1 cam (I see snow...).

Snowing lightly at the moment. Just started a little while ago.

thanks guys... it's an extra 30 min from CT to make it to kmart... but it may be the only place worth it within my day-trip range.

Now there's a bit of hyperbole. It started snowing around noon and we've got 1/4 - 1/2" right now more than 2 hours later. But, it's definitely getting heavier as the day progresses.

I was letting this one go since im not anywhere near K right now...I did look at the cam and thought "dumping" was a bit overstated, but its all good...snow is snow.

Enjoy.

Darnit all. Should have gone with my initial instinct this morning.
My first day on the new job starts Monday so my plan this morning was to pack up the car, wait until the paperwork came via email that I had to fill out today for the new employer, and then head to K to ski tomorrow and Saturday, head back home on Sunday morning, rest a bit, unpack, repack and then head to Philly (orientation is in Philly for two days). I didn't pack up the car this morning because I didn't think much would come of this storm. I feel like a Mr. Moose. :dis

All the paperwork is finally done and I'm just waiting on hotel conformation from the firm's travel agent so I could probably be on the road in a couple of hours but I'm afraid that I'm going to hit some ugly road conditions.

Oh well, you all have fun there. Let it keep snowing!
