2/15-2/18. A New Hope or We are Screwed.

[VTKilarney]

How likely is this track? I'm guessing that we are in the zone now where a change is not very likely.

Think SL will survive...maybe on the icy side, for a day, but okay. Temps are predicted to drop back down in a couple days but I think our good snow will be gonzo. Fingers are crossed....
Another potential powder dump goes by the wayside:angry:.

So let's set the record straight. The temperature in the Vermont mountains is going to rise 75+ degrees in less than two days. And Washington D.C. is going to get more snow than us.

WTF....

With all the snow karma we're saving up next year ought to be fantastic.

I think this map is pretty reasonable given various model depictions. Hoping for a slight eastern shift so that at least Whiteface would be sparred from heavy rain.

Guess this is when I should check out Blue Knob.

Q Burke is quite the optimist. From their Facebook page:

"Keep a close eye on Monday evening and Tuesday morning. Looks like we could see a nice accumulation on the front-end of another storm moving up the coast."

Looks like a pretty good net gain for my plans for Saturday:

A little rain and a thin coat of ice in between 2 bursts of decent snowfall (Saturday will snow all day for free refills as well, supposedly).

DDDDD zone. 3-7 glazed ,got to be at least a 4.5 hr ride . Heard they have some nice terrain.

To be fair, they didnt say "what" would be accumulating.

It's going to rain hard and briefly torch during this storm but I'm curious how long the cold hangs out up north. It could set up a more prolonged period of freezing rain. This might help to save the snow pack a bit. Back edge snow is usually not to reliable but the NAM and GFS are both showing the potential for some especially in Vermont.

Please stop using that biased garbage "weather" forecast here. I would've thought you learned your lesson with them. The weekend looks good but Tuesday not so much

I hope Tuna gets gap insurance for his next vehicle.

While Friday night should bring some snow, Saturday at K is calling for a mix - Rain and snow showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 36. Very windy, with a west wind around 50 mph, with gusts as high as 65 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Please don't crash another car and don't have a heart attack or stroke.

Will this turn into another Tuna feast thread?

Track is pretty locked in. At this point we can only hope that they're slightly off on temperature so we get snow for longer before the rain.

Or for a dry slot of air!

No more rain for Mid VT upwards. Just a sprinkle in the Berkshires. 6" of snow before the weekend in Berkshires and more in VT.

The weekend looks very good. And only once in my entire ski career have they been wrong. You figure it out for yourselves.

OTS gives you forecast for base and peak elevation at mountains. Don't use it if you don't like it. I've only had one not extremely excellent day out so far this year. Can you all say the same?

I'm split between Berkshire East and Pico for Saturday. We'll see how things shape up.

Please tell me where you see 6" in the Berkshires. I hope you're right. Just be safe driving this time, seriously dude.
