The 2/23 - 2/26 Storm Discussion Thread

Possibility of a decent sized storm hitting end of next week. Cold air invades after Mon/Tues storm exits, large storm in the Swest that looks to track into the Gulf, over FLA, and up the Eastern Seaboard...possible nor'easter lining up....keep an eye out.

Well dude, I'm not into week out forecasts, but..... I'm heading up to NVT on the 26th. You know my record. Make plans now

WinnChill · Feb 19, 2010

You should be in good shape Bill--certainly looks active through midweek. Models are still suggesting the first wave arriving Tuesday followed by a reinforcing low about the Thursday timeframe (may push into Fri)...it could be split between the days or combine into one long event, but it's certainly eye-candy on various charts!

I know, take it with a grain of salt my friend...we'll keep you posted...you know the drill! :beer:

I know, I should probably keep my mouth shut....glutton for punishment I suppose.

I may pencil in a midweek day for next week in addition to the weekend. After all, it's still February! Notice I said PENCIL. There is no way I'm counting on anything. I have the luxury to point the car the night before I go. Like rivercoil, I still have many vouchers and other cards to play.

VooDoo lady was decent with her picks ..at least down here.. the 24th is one of hers.. maybe that will be the big dump she was talking about. hopefully for you guys, hopefully for all.

Like I posted in another thread I'll be at Pico starting Wednesday the 24th, I'll either leave really early in the morning or right after work Tuesday night depending on the time frame of the storm.

Also, I'm taking off my snowtires, putting away the snowblower, and emptying the window washer fluid from the car..... NOW we'll have a storm!

:fangun:

WinnChill · Feb 20, 2010

Whew! There will be a LOT going on this upcoming week. Updated forecast for Pico...had to broadbrush many areas Tues-Thur because there is just WAY too many variables with this scenario. We're just trying to narrow down the timeframe for now. Hope this helps.

Cheers

Skier's prayer: May it pour in the flatlands and puke in the hills.

riverc0il · Feb 20, 2010

Wednesday looks like a vaca day for me this coming week. Maybe half day on Wednesday. Big time commitment on Friday that I can't get out of, unfortunately. Guess I will have to save some leg for next weekend! But I sure ain't saving anything this weekend!!

WinnChill · Feb 20, 2010

Just a quick update after all the midday model runs....

...first and relatively weaker storm possible hit on Wed...could slip out to sea but still a good chance curling into us.

--Second and stronger wave arrives Thurs/Friday...much more energy aloft, gustier winds...could linger into the weekend.

Just a "general" snapshot of possibilities this week. With deep upper level trouging arriving from the west and some blocking systems downstream help with a favorable setup. We'll work on hammering out details this week.

Thanks!
on the fence about taking a midweek day.

John, It's my understanding Pico is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

Looking better now for a Wednesday pow day. Bags re-packed.

WinnChill · Feb 21, 2010

Just FYI....midday model runs coming out now and shows a whole lotta love later this week. Of course, it's several days out but we're seeing some strong stuff come Thurs night/Friday. It still looks like Storm A can get enough moisture/snow in here Wed (slightly offshore), but the second storm late Thurs/Friday is a compete monster! I may save a few of these charts!

I'll be out all afternoon and will check back to see what the latest is this evening.

Cheers!

Madroch · Feb 21, 2010

Yup... models have the weenies on Eastern talking about measuring in feet and historic storms, blah blah blah... snow for five days... blah blah blah. And while these model runs rarely if ever pan out... they will this time as I cannot ski no matter what all week. Enjoy - while I cry.

billski · Feb 21, 2010

My plan is to ski Wednesday, then head north again on Friday for a weekend of ski fun with family and friends in NVT. I'll make a final go decision on Tuesday for Wed. , but I'll be up there regardless by Friday. Make it worth my while; make me get stuck!

We'll definately help you fine tune the plans Bill. If that Friday storm pans out, there could be travel problems--but we'll jump off that bridge when we get to it.

Alright, gotta go....

I LOVE travel problems. Prepositioning is the answer!!!

NWS sez, "
THE NORTH COUNTRY WILL LIKELY SEE PLOWABLE AND POTENTIALLY SOME
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL WED AND FRI."

music to my ears...

Whoops, I better check on that totally forgot! Thank you, we'll go to Killington if they are closed that day.
