The Official 2/14 Valentine's Day Storm Discussion Thread

All the models except the GFS (which has been consistently wrong anyway) are showing a major winter storm moving up the coast Wednesday. Some stations are already hyping it as the Valentines Blizzard of 2007. The way this year has gone, it will miss us so have the snow guns ready instead.

Well, I sure hope it happens......I'm up at K then, so it'd be nice.

I think it will hit NJ hard but not so much Vermont. The last look I had at the UKMET it showed 15-20 inches for NJ

yeah, right. long range forecasts. They even missed the 6-8" that No VT got on Th-Fri. I'll listen again on Wednesday.

Those were not long range forecasts they are model interpretations. Secondly if you don't have anything to say that will advance the topic don't say anything at all.

GFS is on board now with this storm...

I think I can claim dibs on predicting this one. My totals may be a little off though.

Everybody now!

What's with the pessimism? This year has been going just fine since that rain after new years. I don't know where you've been skiing but Sugarbush was incredible today and has been for the last 2-3 weeks.

That said...Bring on the storm because the one thing we haven't had is a big dump

Yea, all models look to be in some sort of agreement for once. Well maybe not agreement, but they all show an ok snow.
