It'd be tough to beat the record 23+" we received last Sunday. I think that was the biggest lestorm accumulation in over 50 years.
But it would be great if everyone in NE gets a good snowfall this week.

Which is now down to 3 inches south of Boston. Enjoy it while you can and let's get a big one this weekend!!

"Potential Blizzard"....That's outstanding. I'm hoping it tracks for a good solid dump (of snow people!) over VT.

WooWoo!

Suprise, suprise, another New England winter storm where the final track is going to make a HUGE difference from mega deep powder day all the way down to all liquid precip :rolleyes:

Best case (which some models suggest currently), is the low tracks over/slightly off Cape Cod and then stalls out over the Gulf of Maine :snow: :snow: :snow:

Worst case (which some models also suggest) - the low rapidly tracks up basically the Hudson River Valley bringing mainly a non snow event for much of New England with minimum backside wrap around snowfall :(

DrJeff,

Yes! This thing IS looking real good! If this pans out like the GFS suggests, there is a MASSIVE amount of snow for ME thru the NH slopes! I don't want to talk exact numbers this early but measuring in feet could certainly be the case. This storm just barrels on in and slams on the brakes! *jaw dropping*

Looking foward to tracking this one with you guys!

Cheers!

I've got my fingers crossed! Let's hope this tracks correctly and drops some serious snow!

Yup, going to be watching the latest model runs closely over the next couple of days. LOTS of potential with this one(fingers, toes, eyes, legs, arms crossed ;) )

The snow forecast looks very promising, but the winds may mess up the picture. Summit winds for Friday, Saturday and Sunday are forecasted to be in 30 + mph range. That's a definite recipe for wind holds.

If there are wind holds at Mount Snow this weekend and we get a good storm then I'm off to Magic!

I'm keeping my eye on this one as I'm Stowe bound Jan 3. Should make for nice coverage even if I miss the powder.

Yeah, even if the core of the moisture and most intense snow falls through ME/NH, this should be a long duration event with wrap around moisture for good accumulations through the northern Greens.

There are a lot of us who would view this as an ideal situation, not a consolation prize.

LOVE it. Wind hold today. Gondi never opened at Stowe. Nor the quad. Dawn patrol for that shit tomorrow...

over a foot today up high - 6 at the house with wicked drifting

BC conditions are now prime with most debris sealed in until May

If this storm does its thing - I am going to try and burn a hole in both skins, wind hold on powder days? Nothing should hold you, they are fleeting, especially when they are nothing but pure floatable POWDER

That's the site I update! Thanks for checking it out! I'll try for more frequent updates with this storm.

Cheers!


I like the afternoon update! The totals doubled from the foot or so that were posted earlier today.

:daffy:

this site rocks!!

I've been checking its accuarcy of forecasts last season (NH,VT and ME), and they have been really close most of the time.No BS either. They really fill a needed nich, resort specific forecasting.
