Two inches today skied like a dream. I'm not fully invested in this one until I really see some confidence for anyone outside of the coastal plain.

Beast per usual! It was awesome. Launched the old lift footing on cloud and didn't slam on hardback! Umass, Hemlock, Cloud skied wonderfully. I'm doing family stuff tomorrow but I might skin early.

Jug open? Lift line?
Did they only get 2" or is it still coming down?

It swung about 100 miles west. What an atrocious model.

That's pretty remarkable for one run (and not even a 12 hour segment). How bout' that multi-million dollar upgrade!?!?!?

FWIW, one of my favorite mets I follow (who is not a hypester) believes that this storm will in the "real world" be closer to the coast than the models are depicting due to upper atmosphere physics. If he's right, then it's time for a sexy party, becuase if you look at how cold the air is this is likely to be more like 14:1 to 17:1 or something.

Middle part of jug is open. Lower Jug is ledgey and probably has been skied but I can't imagine it's skiing well. Lift line was skied before the rain last week but there is only this fluffy snow on top of 3 inches of solid ice snowpack now. I skied Grizzly last Saturday it was decent.

What does the euro look like for the Catskills?

Maybe 16'ish? Keep in mind that's the most aggressive model and the biggest outlier. So, not likely to be correct, but good snowporn.

NWS has commented and favors a blended solution between the Canadian and the UKMET, which would be like taking the Canadian map in my last post and shifting it to the east some, though they say the have "below average confidence" is what's going to happen given how much the models shifted in just one run. Ya dont say? lol

18 inches plus for here! High ratio stuff. Boston, New York record breaker? All out blizzard with the winds predicted. Am I reading the Euro snow outputs correctly?
