Week of February 24 to March 2

[WinnChill]

Winn, if I were you, I'd create a thread and post every day that you plan to go skiing, and people would just buy you beers left and right for all the hard work you do.

Lol! Thanks! A beer sounds good right about now and it's not even noon.

Enjoy, enjoy, I be wanting to read the snow report.

Things look rather marginal as the day progresses.
Also keeping an eye on the winds.

Waiting to see what Winchill has to say about this.

I'm sacrificing virgins down here, trying to make the storm stall an extra day, since I won't be up until Fri.

I wonder what kind of reeb Ullr drinks.
I'm a bit concerned about the winds lingering.

 

[St. Bear]

The gradients are crazy in this storm. Look at the rain/snow line going right down the spine of the Greens.

 

[billski]

I saw that too. My first impression was ... naaah, not at elevation. Well, we've three more hours before the temps drop. That radar shows valley and flatland, not summits.

Stratton Summit is still holding strong at 25F http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=KVTSTRAT3
but the base is 32F. With that big a diff, I'm crossing fingers...

My sense is it might be dry on summit, wet on bottom. I think I may need red wax.

 

[billski]

Magic has declared a Pow day, with 4" on ground right now.

11am Mt. Snow @1500 feet, 31F

The temperatures aloft are definitely holding down (at least so far). The southernmost little area of snow/mix in NY on that map, across from southern Massachusetts is the Catskills. You can see that while Route 22A is getting rained on in the valley, the DAX and spine on either side of Lake Champlain seems to be holding as all snow or some mix (not the worst thing) right now.

 

[billski]

In the Green Mt. spine, temps at at or above freezing for collection sites below 1000ft
The resorts on the spine all all reporting snow.
