NWS forecast discussion for the Sundown area:

Quote:

WEDNESDAY...WE WILL SEE AN INCREASE OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA THROUGH THE MORNING WITH THE CLIPPER LOW MOVING
TOWARDS THE ERN GREAT LAKES BY THE AFTERNOON. WE BRING LIKELY POPS
FOR A ROUND OF LIGHT SNOW ACROSS MOST OF THE FCST AREA BY THE LATE
PM/EARLY EVENING. THE GFS IS THE MOST AGGRESSIVE IN TERMS OF QPF
GENERATED BY THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WITH THE WAVE. SOME
VORTICITY ADVECTION WITH THE LOW DIGS SOUTHEAST OVER THE MID
ATLANTIC REGION BY 00Z THU.

WED NIGHT...AS SHORT WAVE ENERGY MOVES SOUTHEAST OF NJ...A NEW LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM FORMS S/SE OF LONG ISLAND. THE BEST 700 MB
DEFORMATION ZONE ACCORDING TO THE GFS IS FROM THE HUDSON RIVER
VALLEY EASTWARD 00Z-06Z THU. A BROAD COASTAL WAVE DEVELOPS WITH THE
NORTHERN MOST SFC PRESSURE WEAKNESS JUST S/SE OF CAPE COD BY 12Z.
THE GFS HAS THE H850 CIRCULATION NEAR PROVIDENCE RHODE ISLAND AT 12Z
THU. WE WENT WITH LIKELY POPS AND A CONTINUED PERIOD OF LIGHT
SNOW. THE LOW LEVEL JET ISN/T OVERLY IMPRESSIVE THRU THIS TIME
FRAME WITH ONLY WEAK-MODERATE UPWARD VERTICAL MOTION GENERATED BY
THE THERMAL AND CYCLONIC VORTICITY ADVECTION. ALBEIT...MOST
LOCATIONS COULD GET ONE TO THREE INCHES OF SNOW...WITH THE HIGHER
TALLIES OF 3 OR 4 INCHES ACROSS WRN NEW ENGLAND.

Could be nice conditions for skiing in the bumps. Current roll call:

powhunter & jonnypoach (probable)
Greg (definite)
Grassi21 (definite)
MRGisevil (definite)
bvibert (99.99%)
2knees (maybe)

T-minus 30 hours and counting until Operation Nor'easter.

See you at the sundeck at 7:30 pm. I hope to step in as close to 6 pm as possible and will be skiing Nor'easter exclusively.

Where's everyone else? We need more people to give these things an adequate break in...

So, we'll be seeing you tomorrow evening?

**bvibert** · Dec 19, 2007, 7:49 AM

No mention of the bumps on the website or the snow phone, hopefully they actually got built yesterday. I'll be there either way. Gunny opened today for those of you who've been anxiously awaiting it...

Not sure when I'll get there, if nothing else I'll see you guys at the sun deck at 7:30

Who else is going to join us??
