12/5 Storm Discussion Thread

I think with a good job offer I get out west...might be "Add Em' Up, Move Em' Out"...for me...:roll: ...Or even BC(Canada)....

You might say different if you had seen all the wonderful little edge smashing cookies in the paltry cover at Whistler throughout the whole season. They have their bad luck too.

WCVB in Boston is putting up a forecast map with over 7 inches predicted for the Worcester area...

That's me! sweet.

That'll be helpful for WaWa anyway...

Hoping to ski Thursday night before the race league kick-off party. They made it sound like it's possible. 7 inches will certainly help them get there.

Some of the easternwx forum guys are saying this might be bigger than anyone expected. like 6"+.

I did pick up a Wa pass, but I'm out for skiing until after next weekend... My boots are at my buddy's condo in ME.

He may head up there this weekend, if he does, I'll tell him to grab them, just in case.

I've been suckered by those guys too many times to fall for this again.... but yeah, I'll pack the gear tonight...

But seriously, some of the more reputable guys are suggesting a small surprise may be in order.. we could sure use it.

 

[Madroch]

Eastern guys are also clucking again about next week, thinking it may not be the doom and gloom we first thought... that would be nice too.

I'm looking forward to exercising the AWD in my car tomorrow night...

I had snow tires put on yesterday. Sorry for the delay. You may start your season now.

EDIT: I removed that big ugly (correction BEAUTIFUL) image since it's overwhelms the page, and hammer's weather.com image does the job as well or better.

No question that you'd rather have a storm track too far east vs west. If it does end up east, then at least that means it will be cold. Plus it always seems like storms are more likely to be farther west of forecast vs the other way around.

I think this is a case of the above theory in action.

 

[WJenness]

Yes please.

 

[hammer]

Weather Channel just changed their forecast...

 

[KingM]

I'd love for that to slide another hundred miles north, but after what we've faced the last two weeks, I'll take it.

I'll skin Wa if they get more than mountains around here.

How long of a drive would that be for you?

 

[WoodCore]

Looks like its time to put the snow tires on the MTB. :lol:

Just under two hours. Wa is actually closer to me than Jay. If the storm didn't seem to be going bust, I would think I might even make the drive. Not for four inches though.

Looks like it's down to 3-5 in the Worcester area.
