With the lack of accurate storm forecasts this season I will wait for a real time update from Atkinson and Josh Fox before I get excited about any snow in the MRV

Even the "nowcasting" has been wrong. I'll make tentative plans, but I'm not getting too hyped up........yet........

Sad but true. I'm way too good at getting all hyped up about potential storms only to be severely disappointed when it doesn't come...

Playing devils advocate...by virtue of the fact that you're making tentative plans, haven't the forecasts already served their purpose to this point? How'd you even know of a storm in the first place? Did the trees tell you?

REVENGE OF THE WINTER MONSTER - 3-5 FEET OF SNOW COMING TO THE CATSKILLS... Starting.

REVENGE OF THE WINTER MONSTER - 3-5 FEET OF SNOW COMING TO THE CATSKILLS... Starting... TONIGHT!

I wish I could show you guys our awesome Accuweather Pro video, but I was told it would get me in trouble. Joe Bastardi showed today that there is EPIC snow coming to the Catskills this week... 3 to 5 FEET in the Catskills & Adirondacks. 1-2 feet in the Poconos and surrounding areas.

The snow starts tonight... we'll keep you all apprised. Come get some! This is said to be the most epic storm in years, if not decades. I'll post (non-proprietary) news stories & forecasts as they come in!

Even if this comes close, it would be awesome, except for the fact that my son has a SG at Whiteface on Friday. Can you say LOTS of slipping and the use of the blades on the snowcats...I guess I can ski Pow Pow at Whiteface on Friday:smile::smile:

Wow I hope your right. Joe Bastardi is accused of hype alot of times but if you go back and look at his winter prediction from July he really nailed it this year. The skiing has been great so far and a storm like you describe would make it epic.

They left out Southern VT!

NWS isn't saying much for Southern VT.....no watches or warnings. Forecast discussion sayins 3-10". Quite a range!

You're looking at the coverage area from the Boston (Taunton) NWS office only. Albany, which covers SVT is really asleep at the wheel and doesn't do graphics at all. And they are really late to the party in issuing their warnings. I don't think they like snow :-x I've been whining about Albany NWS for a year now.

Say what you want about Albany, but they are usually pretty accurate with their forecast/discussions, etc. Might be that being conservative is more appropriate.
