Monitor Snowfall Forecasts

Check radar data and satellite observations daily to track snow bands and heavy snow bullseyes. WPC Super Ensemble output shows a range of amounts. High speed wifi at Wandering Moose lets you access computer models and winter storm warnings instantly, so you know when it's safe to venture out.

Dress in Layers

Start with a warm base layer, add a sweater, then a windproof jacket. Include a hat, gloves, scarf, extra socks, and waterproof boots. After a cold day, use Wandering Moose's dry gear area to store wet clothes, then warm up in the hot tub or sauna.

Understand Bomb Cyclones and Nor'easters

Bomb cyclones strengthen rapidly. Nor'easters bring wind and snow from the northeast. Both cause strong winds, coastal flooding, and travel disruptions. Watch storm track maps and low pressure movement. Wandering Moose provides extra mats, lights, and backup power so you stay safe and warm indoors.

Prepare for Blizzard Conditions

Heavy snow and strong winds create low visibility and snow drifts that block roads. Winter storm warnings may bring over a foot of snow. Stay near Wandering Moose with its heated floors, stone fireplace, and sauna. Call our caretaker if roads close—you'll be warm and secure inside.

Stay Powered During Outages

Strong winds and heavy ice can knock out power. Keep devices charged and have backup options ready. Wandering Moose has EV charging, a generator circuit for key outlets, extra batteries, and flashlights. Plug in early when a winter storm warning hits. Modern wiring keeps heat and light on when the grid goes down.

Warm Up and Stay Connected

Relax in Wandering Moose's sauna, hot tub, or heated pool to warm up after cold exposure. Central heat and a stone fireplace keep the home cozy. Check the Stratton Mountain shuttle schedule on our guest guide—it runs winter weekends and holidays. Our VIP parking is plowed and lit, so you can travel safely when roads are clear.
