Anyone have a better outlook than NOAA's 34 degrees and snow/sleet mix?

I'll be in Warren, VT ('bush) anyone else going to the Mad river Valley this weekend?

Praying for :snow: :snow: :snow:

Too early to worry about. I'll be up there on Sunday, but not skiing till Monday. Keep an eye on this blog:

He talks a bit about the event in the "The move into March" section, but this was posted last Friday. He should have an update sometime this week. Here's the Accuweather blurb:

Josh updated it. Looks better...

Thanks for the blog link, Friday doesnt sound Ideal for a travel day maybe go up thursday night early AM Friday although Saturday and Sunday sound better as the weekend progresses.

Wunderground forecast...model map does not yet have predictions for all-day Friday yet. Should be there by tomorrow I guess.

Though Snow and Sleet seem to be the concensus due to mid-level warming

Josh has been spot on all season. I’ve planned my last 3 trips based on his blog and have not been let down yet.

Yup. I enjoy his easy-to-read discussion. With 4 midweek days in the MRV starting on the 5th, I sure hope this thing stays frozen...

Oh ye of little faith...I have already told you there is going to be plenty of powder for next week.

It's destiny.

update:
Mixed bag from stowe north into the 'dacks. Snow on the backside could be decent so there will be fresh coverage in the end.

Based on what? Latest AFD from BTV indicates that the Dacks and S/C VT are most likely to see a mix. In general, this sounds good for Bolton Valley on northward and eastward to remain all or nearly all snow.

was based on GFS and not discussion. Most recent AFD from BTV trumps my post. I like what they say.
