2/12 storm speculation

[abc]

ah..im back. people making possible life and death decisions based on weather hero benedict gomez. this is perfect. make your decision of whether to drive in a possible blizzard based on a guy who has no meteorological education/experience....really good idea.

Someone's taking the internetz far too seriously.

And he thinks everyone else is taking it as seriously as he does.

unlike you guys, because I don't spend 99% of my day living it up on internet forums...

That explains it. Internetz virgin!

Just because he uses #420 doesn't mean he chilly at all.

that helps me make up my mind for weekend plans... won't be fresh but should be good coverage @ B. East.

Berkshire East has good coverage right now! They may likely jackpot tomorrow. Friday should be real good.

Berkshire will be great. You have to look at the timing of the snow though and focus on where will get the most between lifts closing Thursday and lifts opening Friday. Western ME looks best for highest totals off hours. Otherwise it'll get somewhat to mostly tracked out Thursday depending on the mountain and when it starts.

Personally, I'd take 12-14 where most fell after lifts closed versus 16-18 where it was being tracked out all day. It will be good almost everywhere though with this storm.

Just like snowlover... stop feeding it.

Yes, except snowlover was a good troll because he "pretended" to be interested and fooled the mods for a while.

 

[catsup948]

If the winds are as strong as forecasted driving anywhere after noon tomorrow is going to be a challenge. 1-2 inch and hour rates with 20-30 mph winds equals whiteout!

i like how i was criticized in the beginning of this for NOT having many posts...as if sitting around and posting to a snow thread on the internet all day is cool....seriously benedict thanks for the laugh on that one.

Your getting yourself close to not being able to make any posts at all.

Not fooled just needed to stick with the ban plan.

Headed to Elk !! Blue Pants, Blue North face jacket, black helmut! - THursday

Headed to Elk thursday in case anyone wants to head a little north

Wow, looks like a home run for the Catskills and Poconos. I want to do a run up to Camelback. I was thinking Thursday. Have Jeep, will travel in snow. I'm inclined to do Friday but I'm thinking with the beginning of a holiday weekend, a lot of people taking off early and the roads being cleared that CB will be a zoo. I'll probably have the place to myself on Thursday.

Looks like a rain/mix where I am. Hopefully this will trend NW.

Either way I get to listen to all my friend bitch about how horrible this winter is. I don't know..I'M having an AWESOME time!

Looking good for southern VT NOAA Albany has upped the forecast for southern VT to 14"-18" now for Mount Snow and Magic. The total QFP is forecasted to be in the 1.5- 2.0" range with a possible 2.5" so these numbers are conservative. There's a possibility for more depending on the backend/upslope. Has anyone heard anything about wind following this storm? It'd really suck to have wind holds Friday/Saturday

I ran the wind maps around noon today for the weekend, and they looked shockingly gentle. Didnt bother with Friday since I cant ski then (travel day).

 

[flightschool]

Wondering the same as above, any word on the wind Fri/Saturday?

 

[flightschool]

Sweeeet thanks!

Here you go. This is Friday. Looks lovely.

Saturday looks all good in the hood.

Only thing to note is this is a 12Z map, and obviously this should be revisited tonight given much better "real world" data will have been digested by the models, so it could easily change, but so far so good...
