I hope the drive is less interesting than it could be. Should be enough to meld into a crust, if there is one.
Greek and Tog next week. Lake effect. Never in my life would I think to follow lake effect.

BenP. Been doing it all season. Gonna try Song Friday as all lifts will be spinning and new bar, they’ve yet to name, opens at 11. (Glad the kids are off school this week as the bar opens earlier) Hasn’t been open whenever I’ve been this year but there’s always a first time.
Attaboy Harvey ? So much winning. And it’s snowing again.I actually read this wrong.
Not "I never thought I'd bother following lake effect."
But "I never even thought of following lake effect before."
I've spent a lot time time studying the country lined radar map (all over this site) and matching it with my own version of Google Maps, which has every ski area in NY marked out.
The NY Ski Directory has a handy vert numbers and after a while you can look at the radar and plan NY strategy. See the bottom of this page:
The Central New York Ski Area Directory
Central NY ski areas get solid snowfall from lake-effect off Lake Ontario.nyskiblog.com
It all started with an SEO effort. I wanted to rank for "new york annual snowfall" (google it) and I wrote this with the help of NWS:
New York State Annual Snowfall Data
The climate of New York is marked by abundant snowfall.
SEO Brag: That page gets a lot of traffic, biggest day was back in December before the first big storm over 500 visits in a day. Normal mid-winter day about 50 visits from google:
View attachment 8201
Total site doing about 1000-1700 visits a day. This is WAY up from last year which was more like 700-1200 a day. I suspect VT travel restrictions has something to do with this.
More than you wanted to know? ?

Great to meet Scottyskis today and get a tour. My legs were not there today, but, I saw the potential of Pattekill on a softer day. Too bad the Tuesday rain made for a crunchy base. He showed me how it's done in the trees.
I could do without a three hour drive in the snow to get there, though.
