Watching the weather tonight they were talking about the string of storms coming through this week. Thursday/Friday sound really good for the hunter trip. And then he hinted at a big coastal storm brewing for Sunday and Monday and wouldn't talk more about it since it wasn't in the 5 day. Anyone else hear anything yet?

I heard this storm could also bring major snow to the megalopis from Washington DC to Boston...it could shut-down airports and cripple the northeast..
This storm has been on the GFS for some time. I think the theory is that the 17th time frame is where the NAO and the other pacific index (can't think of name right now) are both flipping around - and that's a good time for storms.
We'll see however...my guess is a rain event.

that would be nice, as long as it continues to track north into the mts.
But kinda early to be talking about 6 days from now, eh?

The weather word is 1-2' (feet, mind you) in central/northern Greens Sunday late into Monday. Maybe this will be the winter of Monday Storms....

Yeah, really. Easy on the hype there, GSS. Let's get through Thursday first, but there is a potential for something Sunday/Monday.

Holy crap. Check out this graphic. Looks almost like the Valentine's blizzard from last year.

I made that up but that's the kind of thing the local TV stations would say for ratings..

Thursday is looking to be more of a southern event.. Like CT
Sunday looks like the real deal, plenty of moisture moving into arctic air.

I like that better so Monday's ride is easy and I don't have to rush out.

I know lots of people aren't fond of Roemer (aka dr. weather) but I think he's dead on most of the time (i've only been listening to him for 3 years, so...). Anway, he's saying this storm could drop several feet of snow. Link should bring you to the free podcast, it's nice to hear a ski specific weather forecast.

Yours?
I just listened. IF Romer was right (that's a big IF), and as he said, there "could be, could be several feet of snow", then I will be gone in a heartbeat and may not return for several days, fully abdicating all of my adult duties.
Actually, my threshold for full life abdication (in New England) is probably about 2 feet of snow. Yours?
Which reminds me, I've got to go get my boards from the shop this afternoon....

From Joshua Fox at MRG...
The jet stream will form a nice confluence area over the Canadian Maritimes providing interior New England with a chilly day Saturday including high temperatures which struggle to get past 10 on the mountain although the winds will be relatively calm. This confluence area is a key ingredient for what is to follow on Sunday as a major weather system approaches from the southwest. It is rather incredible actually to look at the upper air and surface maps and see so many things which are strikingly similar to Valentines Day 2007, a day which probably should be memorialized at MRG. In truth, it is dangerous for a prognosticator to make such analogies 4 days from the event and some key details are likely to change over the course of the next few days. With that said, there is very good agreement concerning a big noreaster this weekend, one which will provide the coast with a mix of snow, sleet, freezing rain and ice and one which will deal interior New England and much of northern New York a sizable snow event (and wind) or one that can be measured in feet. I don't want to get carried away here because it is early and hype as a tendency to fizzle. Another update in a day or two can probably zoom in on the details a little closer and we can go to work from there.
