Weather for April 5-7 (and preceeding week)?

Thanks rivercoil. I'd be interested in any reports you or others can report, even just Saturday - cause it looks like the damage will be done by then.

I don't think you need to worry about damage being done. So long as it corns up, there is a sensational amount of snow and it is not going to melt in a week. Last Sunday there still was not a bare spot on the mountain any where.

Thanks. I guess I've got residual Catskills / Berkshires paranoia - down here rain at this time of year plus 40's - 50's can really destroy things, especially if it's all natural snow (e.g., Plattekill gets demolished easily). I'll think of something else to worry about (actually I'm thrilled at the prospect of even ONE DAY at MRG, I hope they're open Monday).

It's looking like it will be slightly colder than originally forecast for Western Maine with 5" possible above 1,000' on friday. Sugarloaf and Saddleback could do well.

Got big flakes dropping here in southern NH right now.

Riv- you are patient, you have had to say this same thing no less than 3 times in the same thread! The MRV conditions are very good for this time of year! Do some research on SkiMRV. It is snowing-really snowing- here now.....

Anyone have ideas about Saturday 4/5 (tomorrow) in the Catskills? Rain event? Snow event? Belleayre is reporting 7 bump trails on their conditions report and me and gf want to hit that, but she will freak out if its pouring rain while we ski...

Anyone have any info on what the weather is doing in southern and central VT today. Radar looks like it is dumping in Northern VT and 'Dacks, did the more southern areas get any snow?
