Monday Weather Look
There is a lot of snow in the forecast this week for the Ski Mountains of New England.
Some of the southern areas picked up some very welcome help from the storm that pushed through the region on Friday. This should have made for some good skiing. Especially when taken all the sunshine and comfortable temperatures into account.

Today is going to feel more like early April then late February. If you are fortunate enough to be skiing today, it should be a gem. Wednesday will be a GREAT day to call in sick and make turns if you can afford such.
I took the weekend off. It was my first break since Christmas. The Ski Guru is taking a plane ride later this week, heading to Kicking Horse, which was the reason behind the down time. Pretty fired up about the trip. They have been having a huge season out there and are looking at more big snows over the weekend.
That said I am slightly concerned about my departure from Logan on Thursday morning because weather could be a factor. But it looks like the second storm system will impact the region closer to the weekend.
Tuesday: Starting in the wee hours of the morning we should see flakes falling. This storm will impact the mountains more than the city and southern locations.
The majority of the ski areas in New England are looking at a Foot Plus of fresh snow. Check this LINK for more detail.
