What is the forecast for my favorite hill in Roxbury NY for Sunday?

Would over 2 feet of snow in the next week be okay with you?

This is the 12z GFS that just came out, and while it's probably complete and total BS, it sure is some pretty snow-porn to look at. :-o

It's unfortunate that the GFS hasn't been right all winter. I guess it means they're due.

Oh snap! Jeff is gone...and there's a storm on the horizon. This usually bodes well for those of us who are at the mountain. I'll probably owe Jeff a few beers. Fingers crossed that past history is indicative of future results.

"Snowicane part deux?" :snow: ;) Your welcome Glenn! And I think you know where I can be found most weekend afternoons to buy me those beers (even if they don't have PBR there for you ;) :beer: )

NWS is calling for 10-14 incoming for Stowe/Smuggs and Jay.

And mighty Platty just reported on Facebook they have 8" since yesterday and the Lake Effect bands are still rolling in strong. Things are looking up.

Might have to hit Plattekill this weekend. Would go to Jay, but the gf is a teacher and cant just take a day off :(

The fact that you cant even see the trails is a positively beautiful thing!

Lake-effect bands have been coming thru all day...now we're up to 8" of the REAL DEAL!!!! Here's what we look like @ 1pm. More terrain opening shortly....

Here's the 12z Euro update.

That's about a foot of snow for Plattekill on top of the probably 10" they've received in the last 24 hours. This could get pretty good pretty quick.

Everyone's a winner here, except for the Poconos, which will most probably get rained on and screwed (aka situation normal).

He did. He actually downgraded it. Yesterday was 4-7" at Cannon for Sun, and today it's nothing.

Haven't had a chance to update this pm....some of the overriding data in this editor was showing before updates. Trying now....

Hi Mr Winn Chill I was just curious of what you thought about Platty chances for snow on Sunday and what time you think it will start?

They stand a good chance for moderate to possibly heavy accumulations....Sat PM arrival, most overnight.
