It's interesting to me that the GFS agrees with the Euro, but the Canadian doesn't agree.

Is this too minor to bother sharing a map for? Meh, figure I'll post it here in case people are interested. From Bastardi's offspring.

Same here! There is no storm "too minor" after no snow for 7 months!
7 months? Try 6. It was snowing with fresh accumulation on my last day of the season at Wildcat on the third weekend in April.

OK, remember what happened to the last season that had a big snowfall around the same time? Bunch of snow on trees, power outages, a whole mess, followed by one of the worst seasons weather-wise for skiing in years.
Realize that everyone is impatient to get the season started but I don't want that again.

I have a significantly different recollection of last season. I'd take a repeat in a second.
We don't need your negative vibes here.

I think it was 2012 with the October storm.

They have begun to mention snow in the forecast down here and the haters have been vocal. Glad I have AZ to find solace.

WTF, the snow storm has moved south to the West Virginia region.

Since everyone's memory is a bit fuzzy this is the one I'm mentioning:

Bunches of snow with leaves still on the trees makes for a mess. Still thought it was neat until I got tired of skidding on manmade hardpack later that season.

Bad trends today. The models don't think I'll get it's act together, therefore it won't make it up the coast.

Pretty sure that October storm had absolutely nothing to do with the season that followed.
Last season I was very happy to be getting October turns, November freshies, and a great late season. And I'm positive that the early stuff had no influence on the late stuff.
So, yes I'm very anxious for the earliest snow we can get our skis on. Because I know it's only superstition that considers it a bad omen for the season.

The famous Halloween storm of 2011 in fact had no bearing on the terrible winter that followed. But for us who are superstitious, having so much snow across such a wide area, away from the mountains, was a bad omen. We had a dusting on Long Island for gods sake! Kiss of death....
For those wanting to ski, this storm never had the potential to in-and-of-itself allow areas to open. And with a warm up next week, all but the highest peaks would have gone back to grass. But still, seeing snow this time of year does help the mood!
What we need is a pattern change to allow not only colder air to filter south, but to remain in place. We have been above normal this fall, as many forecasted, and it looks to stay that way, this weekends cold notwithstanding. But will it turn in a few weeks? That is the real question. We need to watch for signs this happening.
