Looks like our region could get a good snowfall by Dec 17;  could be 6-12" in WV and Western PA, Eastern PA/Elk Mtn might be bullseye for 12-18"!

Hope some folks in the mtns will give some first-hand updates.

 I have a couple of friends at SS this week.  My buddy took these yesterday.  I hope he gets some good pics today.

We may have a bust alert for Snowshoe. 

Buddies reporting sleet and very little snow falling around 2 PM.  His words were, it's a cold wet mess and I do not ski in this $#!+.

NWS also cut their snow totals by 1/2.

My roof this morning. Snowfall compares to Feb. 2010 snowmageddon. I'm north of Pittsburgh 70 miles west of the Laurel Highlands. Seven Springs reports 14 inches early this morning and still snowing. Their website says they will open tomorrow at noon. Damn, I sold my skins and AT set up a few years ago due to lack of significant snow.

Bryce hit the jackpot in Virginia. Received 10-11 inches snow and just a little bit sleets.
