I don't think it is possible with Internet Explorer.
Why not have script that downloads the web page to a file. You can then use
AppleScript to read the text in the file and extract what you want.
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
download "
http://www.holidayvalley.com/snowreport.cfm"; to file "abc"
set snowData to read file "abc"
-- now do something with snowData
end tell
Replace file "abc" with something appropriate.
There may be some scripting additions that may help you extract what you
want from the html data.
