More Snow for the Southeast Ski Areas!

     An area of low pressure will continue to track across the Northeast today. The associated cold front passed through the region last night, ushering in bitterly cold temperatures and blustery winds. Northwest flow behind this front will lead to significant snowfall totals for all of the ski areas in the region over the course of the next two days. Those who brave the cold and wind will be rewarded with powder conditions!
