1/24-1/25 storm

[WinnChill]

So Winn, how's the second half of the week looking? NWS is forecasting a likely prob for snow in the hills on Thursday. Is this anything worth watching or just a dusting?

Hey Bill,

Was out all afternoon--just got in. As far as getting the snow/freezing levels back down to support snow, we're in good shape the rest of the week--they'll be back down by late tonight/tomorrow. We get a little residual moisture Tues-Wed with some upslope snow showers (light stuff mainly...probably a few inches, give or take) from mainly Killington northward, Loon northward, and around SR/SL in ME.

Yeah, Thurs probably a better shot at some enhanced snow showers with more energy aloft helping out, maybe a little "squally"....again, northernmost resorts across VT/NH/ME probably get a few more inches out of that. It gets real cold Friday!

I'll keep things updated here for
VT, NH, and ME resorts. I'll be tweaking a few things tomorrow (Thurs totals) but that's it in a nutshell.

Hope that helps.

Cheers!

By the way, we're gonna be doing some (VT/NH) ticket and lodging giveaways soon on our Facebook page, so it may be worth checking out guys!

I saw that today. I've been watching your reports. I try not to look for a report I'll like, I'm just looking for a consensus whether I should go skiing or drinking

 

[WinnChill]

Hmm, a drinking forecast...

AKA PDW!! Prime Drinking Weather!

 

[Johnskiismore]

You should hear the rivers raging right now!

Most depressing thing in this storm for me today was driving by Whaleback. They don't make much snow. It was already hurting when I drove by at noon. Driving back the other way and seeing the snow loss at 5 was a punch below the belt. I don't ski there. I just feel real bad knowing how much an event like this one sets back the little areas like Whaleback

Too early for that. I really hope we don't see any PDW until late April.

Absolutely nuts driving today. I left my office in Northeast CT about 2 to head over to Hartford to teach a class, and had the "pleasure" of driving almost the whole way in what had to be the worst of the storm! Tree limbs coming down on the backroads, flooded sections of roadway, and then when hit I-84, the wind was howling from the South, basically perpendicular to the highway and with the firehouse quantity of rain coming down in the wind, the one thing it reminded me of was driving in total whiteout conditions A wil ride to say the least!

Oh yeah I was speaking about the future......... far off future!

Speaking of rivers raging, Pemigewasset is over flood stage now at 10 feet! Possibly to rise!

Are you sure about Friday @Stowe?. NWS says hi of 13 yet you show a hi of zero. Are you talking summit or valley temps?

Just woke up and noticed our field at the bottom of the hill is completely flooded out. This usually happens about four times a year, not too often in the middle of the winter though! Snow pack has been substantially reduced by about 3/4 here in the low lands of Ashland. Quite a hit.

Sheesh. Stowe is reccommending groomers (no surprise) and has snow making blasting.

I'm just glad we have any snowpack left at all here in NE Mass. and hope it doesn't completely melt out before arctic air moves in - would hate to have to start a new base from scratch in the local bc/NELSAP hills I've been hitting, especially if we wind up getting any snow from ocean-effect late this week or the coastal storm forecast for this weekend.

I know it shows Base temp but it's more of an overall mid-slope temp (we show base and summit temps for some CA resorts)....the bottom falls out on Friday so it's going to be frigid all around! I'll be adding windchills here in a bit.

Snowmaking temps look fantastic this week so hopefully they'll all go full blast on the guns!

It is pretty wild, the mountains were covered with snow only two days agao, and now it is back to yuck brown for the most part
