2/19 - 2/20 Storm Discussion Thread

[madskier6]

It's a toss-up at this point as to how much snow we may get but Jason Fox is saying there's a chance it could be significant, similar to Valentines Day 2007 or Feb. 1969? It may be a let-down & we don't get much. That's why this is a storm speculation thread.

"As this already well established low pressure center interacts with the forces of the Atlantic Ocean, the intensification will continue and blizzard-like conditions are very possible over portions of New England Thursday and into Friday. Heavy snow across interior New England and the spine of the Green Mountains to be specific and MRG to be more specific seems to be a predictable by-product but lets not give this storm an early KISS OF DEATH. Thursday and Friday could be Valentine's day 2007 re-incarnated or it could be something less or it could be not at all.

In all honesty and with all the kidding aside, the storm next week is probably going to be a bit more than "not at all". Its just a matter of details and those still need to be ironed out and we will do so in the coming days."

I'm interested in powderfreak's opinion for this storm.

Hoping forecasts begin to come together by tomorrow so I can put in the request. Suffice to say, I am taking at least one day off this coming week and perhaps two if needed. Definitely owe it to myself, LOL.

They said that about the 2/3 storm, and some other storm in January - Vday 07 will never be repeated

it's looking like a humdinger!!!!

I'm not going to get my hopes up until we're a lot closer. The last "Monster Storm!" didn't bring us a single flake. By the time it arrived it was a hundred miles east of Cape Cod.

On Burke Mountain local forecasts are calling this a storm to "watch". They are calling for "several inches" of snow, unfortunately we are 4-5 days away and anything can happen.

This morning it is snowing on the mountain and we should get up to 4 inches all day from a northern VT disturbance. Flakes are abbundant as I write and if it keeps on all day it should be a fun fun day.

Yes it will. There has been bigger storms before.

 

[reefer]

Sweet! We're due! I decided to pack it in this weekend and stay home..... be patient. It's going to dump!

 

[AMAC2233]

Yes, there will be bigger and better storms, but that storm was special for different reasons: a) The timing. It was midweek, Valentine's Day, slopes empty, right in the middle of the day. Anyone who skiied it knows how amazing the boot deep powder was - every run. b) Timing in relation to the season; there hadn't been any big storms before it. It was the long-awaited breakthrough after 2.5 sucky seasons.

Maybe it was just a personal thing but for me, nothing will ever compare.

Sunday morning Boston TV is tracking this storm as it comes in off the California coast. They have it on a track to cut right across central Mass. This will make it the PERFECT storm for me (20 miles from the Cape). Rain in Southeastern MA - thus no plow guy fee and shoveling down south - and tons of snow in the mountains.

But - still too far off to really get a decent track on this. Hope this comes in closer to Wednesday than Thursday. I would love to take the day off on Thursday and run to the mts. with the kids.......... Friday skiing would be more likely to be mobbed with the backend weekend of the President's vaca week.

I'm supposed to fly into Manchester at 11:30PM Thursday night. Hopefully this guarantees a huge storm. If I ever get into the airport, I'm headed straight to the Mtn!

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I'm most likely going to Vermont next weekend so a storm would be great!!!!..I would likely drive up after the storm and get sloppy seconds..

[Zand]

Was supposed to be in Lyndon Thursday-Sunday. Plans got scrapped and now here comes the storm.

Probably gonna bite the bullet and either drive in it Thursday or go to some crowded hell Friday.

This morning's NWS suggests the storm will dump it's goods Wednesday night into Thursday day, with all snow north of Central NH and VT. Could be 6+ in the northlands. Sounds like Thursday will be a bad day for driving, but if you can be there ahead of the game, you're in the money. Making plans for Thurs or Friday wherever the goods are.

Haven't seen any forecast amounts on NWS, where did you see that?
