yikes saw that. i'm starting 5 days on saturday. guess payback is a bitch ... hopefully some warm air will work it's way into that forecast to moderate temps a bit. but that cold after the warm temps of the last week & the forecasted rain early this week ain't gonna be pretty. maybe they'll be forced to turn on the guns to make a skiable course.

Very interesting! Looks like the wood stove will still be getting a good workout this coming weekend.

Looks pretty cold, what do the gurus say?

Looks like a typical spring thaw/freeze cycle. I wouldn't count on much frozen precip.
Through Tuesday looks like rain at Stowe, maybe a little frozen precip on top, but not enough to substantially change snow conditions.

Strikes me as groomer morning, wait-till-the-snow-softens kind of week.
Would love to see the "big dump", but nothing in the near-term cards

Might have to borrow an ice breaker from the Coast Guard to keep the pond open for pond skimming at Mount Snow on Saturday :eek: And the smoke coming from the bands playing in Raggaefest also at Mount Snow this coming weekend might actually be from firewood ;) :lol:

LOL! I was thiking the same thing....it's going to be a chilly pond skim! Like really early season snow, early warm weather doesn't last a very long time.

Yup....March is going out like a lion with a nice spring snowstorm next week. Course, I'm no weatherman but some of the folks who claim to be are starting to talk about it.

Looks like there could very well be a substantial system working up the Eastern Seaboard the middle of next week for sure (most all the models are in agreement with that) Where it seems the larger debate is occurring amongst the weather community about next week is which branch of the jetstream will win out air mass wise for this potential storm, the WARM Southern branch or the COLD Northern branch (and remember that in late March/early April "cold" is a much more relative term than in January/February.

The other issue might very well be that the models are suggesting somewhere around the same time that a significant warm up might be instore for much of the Eastern 1/2 of the country, so if enough cold air is around for a :snow: event, we might not be talking about an extended run of powder, but more like a quick change to cement :eek:
