Winter Forecast 2015-2016

That horrible forecast is consistent with what I have read at many blogs and forecast sites. Looks like it's getting to be more certain that we can forget xmas week this year.

So, what's the story on years that follow big El Nino events?

Unfortunate to make my first post like this but this is starting to get pretty depressing.

25+F over average expected for Christmas on the European model for basically all of the Northeast, 99% confidence 10 days out.

That warming is only for a day or two otherwise 30's and low 40' during the day on either side.

for cannon, accuweather is showing a low of 22 on Friday night. After Friday, the low temp is not projected to go any higher than 21 through the end of January. I realize things can change and that a six week projection is of limited value. But still, isn't it relatively safe to say that nighttime snowmaking is projected to return for good on Friday night?

If that's true, at least there's that, right?

yes snow making temps are looking good long term.

Starting Friday - you will see the terrain expansion pace pick up rather quick from this point on.

You are right about anything beyond 7 days but I am seeing things a little more optimistically and see improvements in terms of cold air at night. We shall see!

It's going to be blow torch again next week. We absolutely have skill forecasting temperature 10 days out. This is just painful.

Well I would say Stage 3. I'd ski anything for a few more runs! Even if it is one run.

While everyone else is at Stage 4 - Not going to ski this season, why do I ski in the first place! What's the point!

I ski because I drink. I drink because I ski. Where do I fit in?

I'm between a 2 and 4 !
Deciding on which pair of skis will I sacrifice and ski on what ever is available. It's that or go back to water skiing !!

I'm lingering back and forth between 4 & 5. Call it 4.5.

deadheadskier · Dec 14, 2015

I would need a western trip to something decent right now to attain a 5. As that isn't in the cards this year, I'm stuck on 4.
