Closer to home...
Meanwhile back at home, conditions report. Snow folowed by sneet right now. Here's the thing. It almost never snows around here but I do see plastic sleds and saucers in the thrift stores from time to time.. usually for a DOLLAR so I buy them. My kids are grown, one still finishing high school so don't need a shed foll of plastic sleds.
I live in a neighborhood packed with people fairly new to America. Most of these kids have NEVER experienced a snow day. So, when that rare event happens, I put out a couple of the plastic saucer sleds for them to play with.. I also had some gloves my kids have outgrown.. Hope they have fun!
Yes, there is risk providing neighbor kids with "dangerous toys". Mrs scolded me for actually handing them to the kids instead of just leaving them at the curb anonymously.

On a Tuesday after a three day weekend, maybe if you get some snow.
3/8" of fine cold snow on the ground here already, and it's not stopping.
Incredibly windy at Snowshoe today. It started snowing around 10 and is still coming down. I don't know what we've gotten so far--maybe 10" or so? Hard to tell with all the blowing. Conditions out there were pretty rough, though. And they were blowing snow on some open trails (smart, I am sure, but it was whiteout conditions between the gusts and the snowmaking at times). I do think the wind (and accompanying cold) actually kept the crowds down just a bit.
The forecast looks bad for Thursday so I moved my trip to Blue mountain one day, so Wednesday of this week I will be at Blue mountain. If anybody is around it would be great to take some runs. Drop me a PM if you are going to be at Blue and want to meet up.
That should be exciting.. the drive back especially! I'm already locked in to be the winter capable transportation for my daughter's high school theater production performances Thurs, Fri and Saturday night. I'll be shuttling kids, costumes, equipment, etc.
I've done that trip up 501 when dumping a couple times.. Usually not too bad except the last 20 miles in and out. I know you got this though..
damn that's tempting...
Are they expecting snow on Friday- checking the weather and it looks like they aren't getting hit by this storm. Might see a little snow Thursday afternoon/evening.

If I hadn't just taken a day off to ski Timberline I would be tempted - especially if Blue Ridge Pig is involved.
It will be cold enough for all the guns to be running though..
I'm used to seeing storms hit the mountains then fall apart. I don't think I've EVER seen a storm where everyone all around all sides BUT the mountains gets snow???? I never even imagined that scenario was possible??? WT actual F????
Great day at Sugar today, conditions were incredible. It's so nice when everything around it is covered in white!!
I went to Blue Mountain today, conditions on the side of the summit lodge were good. The side on the base lodge needed a fair amount of grooming. Some trails that looked like they had made a lot of snow but we're closed because they needed to be groomed. The new trail was not groomed and I think they didn't want anyone on it but they didn't want to fully close it either.
