Missed, but in good shape.
Storm missed us south. Looks like Yawgoo Valley is picking up some fresh. Do not be fooled by the radar loops, even though you may see blue precipitation over Boston—the Cape, RI and CT are the only places seeing flakes actually hit the ground.

Jay Peak and Stowe are reporting new snow this morning. Check Conditions.

Optimistic?
No, just aware that the weekend ahead may deliver some fantastic mid winter conditions with light crowds. Most are neck deep in holiday partying and shopping. Good time to ski!
