A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
so......same shit different week?

rain tues-wed then a hard freeze? :puke:

Very minor rain event. Mostly showers. There's only one night above freezing so the base that's out there will remain very well intact. Yes, superficially we'll be back to last week after the rain, but without the catastrophic snowpack loss.

But Friday onward into the foreseeable future could be really productive in "rebuilding" and then some. But there's so many pieces in play that the models won't pick up on a solution till the middle of this week. Stay on your toes and remember the #1 rule in winter meteorology: DON'T JINX IT!!!

Tomorrow(Wed) is the real temp hit, probably mid-40s in the western mtns(ME), but weekend temps are looking great...same dip as last weekend but not so radical.
And what good will the colder temps do at this point? Another weekend of icy groomers?

Preserve season length. I'd rather an early March weekend be icy groomer skiing than spring conditions with the snow melting off the mountains.

Guess it depends on where you usually go. Ski areas that usually remain open late season will ride out crappy conditions and be fine. Can't see how smaller areas that depend on recreational skiers will stay open much longer.

It's a bummer that we are going to our second "cold" Saturday in a row. It's not particularly inspiring for skiers, and it's not great for the resorts who are hoping for skier visits.

The northeast is once again in a weird weather pattern. The radar looks threatening and the temps seems to be staying above freezing for the next couple days and then goes into a deep freeze into single digits. Can't catch a beeak.

Wondering if any of the areas will go for more resurfacing with another round of cold weather after yet another warm up. This has been such a strange winter. Talk about peaks and valleys.

I'm really liking the set-up for this next shot on goal. Still 6 days out, which it too far to get excited, but unlike most model porn, the conditions present actually make sense for a storm to develop.
