One freakin' monster of a storm...

Dumped about 3 feet on my Moms place in Southern Colorado and Wolf Creeks gotten 47 inches and it's still snowing. http://www.wolfcreekski.com/index.asp

It will likely change 4 times before the storm starts... but the NOAA just changed the forecast for SR and Sugarloaf (probably SB too, but I didn't look) upping forecast totals and now not mentioning any mixing or changeover...

I hope this forecast holds!

SR: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...3063965&site=gyx&smap=1&marine=0&unit=0&lg=en (9-13" tomorrow + 3-5" tomorrow night)

Loaf: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...1376953&site=gyx&smap=1&marine=0&unit=0&lg=en (8-12: tomorrow + 3-7" tomorrow night)

Holy crap! Burlington is still sticking with the sleet and rain in the forecast. Hopefully, they come around the Gray's way of thinking!

Excellent. I'm bracing for almost anything with this one, but whatever comes, it will be a hell of lot better than the last two rounds.

I find clicking on Hourly Weather Graph (lower left) much more interesting.

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

I keep asking myself...why, why, why,,,why do i live on Long Island.??? I am from CT, a New Englander!!!!!

 

[RootDKJ]

JD-

the natural snow that made it through the swamp out last week has set up into a porcelin like substance, its skiable but not totally enjoyable. Skied today and the snow that fell today has bonded really well - that being said though its still spark skiing - if the mountains can hold on and pull 6-8" of dense/rain crust snow, then add ina couple days of lake fluff - it would be quite decent - I doubt they get much running by the weekend and it could be a good skin around ( ps -its telefest this weekend so it will be an extra shit show)

thanks for the report....

Noice. Have fun with that. I'll be storm skiing early, until the changeover....Mainers are gonna make out prety good.

Flood Watch? WTF? Albany just issued a flood watch for my area, while Taunton has a Winter Weather Advisory and 2-6" in Western Hartford County. Guess it's time to Now-cast.

I've got one of those too for Wallyworld. But my weather on NWS is based out of Upton, NY. You gotta love CT...one state, two different weather offices. My buddy told me they used to have a CT office back in the day. It is funny though...I work in Cheshire...about a mile and a half from Southington...our forecasts are often very different.

 

[Greg]

Three actually - Albany, Upton and Taunton MA.

Lots of variation in the state though so I guess it makes sense.

What a beautiful picture!

Duh! I left out Albany...even though you mentioned it a few posts before mine.

Awesome... I hope this holds true as I can't wait to get to SR for the weekend!
