Accuweather released an updated forecast this morning. The bad news is that they dragged the heaviest snows further south then their previous forecast. The good news is that most of the Northeast is a least normal. Looks great for places like Camelback and Sundown less promising the further north and west you go. I also semi worried about Utah as its predicted to be warm and dry. Time will tell.

As much as I love their enthusiasm and gross exaggerations as good stoke, the hit rate of their mountain forecasts is abysmal. I really think they put most of their energies into city forecasts where their ratings matter most.

What's the diff between 'Normal Snowfall" and "Cold and Snowy"??? :-?

Speaking of city folk, many of the city folk I've been speaking to lately believe we are in for a really heavy snowfall this winter. Wishful thinking as they tremble in their UGGs.:smash:

When you're a skier living in NJ, faith is all you have.

I'm coming to the conclusion that while they may get some things right, they hardly ever get mountain forecasts right.

Thank God not many hurricanes get to the mountains :razz:
