The 12z GFS just crushed the much bigger potential storm for next week and dragged it out to sea. Hopefully it's wrong and the Euro will continue to show the monster snowstorm.
I read a funny little tidbit on a meterology forum today about next weeks potential storm and the amount of uncertainty about it currently - to paraphrase: The models take the storm anywhere between Buffalo and Bermuda with the ability to produce anything from a few flurries to a few feet! :lol:
I'm not going to spend too much time dreaming and hypothesizing about this one until we're first done with the small event Sunday/Monday

Wouldn't get too up or down at this point. Models love to lose events and then bring them back as it gets closer. (its hard to pin down energy coming off the Pacific where there are few instruments ie not enough data). Longer term, at least there are signals for good cold.
On a side note, I'm still optimistic about the up coming winter regardless of what happens next week. Got a cat who was very thin last winter and during the warm season who has bulked up big time this late fall. Not scientific but I take it as a good sign.

Just looked at the NOAA forecast for Hunter..it changed from snow to freezing rain and sleet for the whole weekend...just can't win anymore...
Great point Glenn. Get 'em out and let them pack it down so we've got a nice base to work with. I'll get to it on January 2nd!Two decent storms the week before Christmas would result in some nice business for the ski areas during Christmas week. Hoping it happens!
