New snow today, and some icing here and there

Vermont ski resorts are reporting 4 to 9 inches of new snow; some got an icing as well.

Mount Snow says the lifts got a coating of ice, so many have a delayed opening this morning. Magic Mountain, also in southern Vermont, said they also had received wet precipitation that created a layer of ice on top of the fresh snow that fell yesterday.

A few resorts, including Mad River Glen, are reminding skiers that this snowfall — which is not as fluffy light as recent storms — is actually a good thing as it creates a more solid base to ski on, and covers up stuff we don't want to ski on.

Some more light snow will fall today while Thursday may be partly sunny. Temperatures will drop through the week.

FYI, there's about 48 inches of snow piled up at the stake atop Mt. Mansfield.
