Here's the plan

Using our considerable forecasting prowess, we will head to the hills midweek before the storm strikes. Now it comes through and blankets the entire New England area with five feet of snow. Highways are closed, school is out, cell phone towers collapse, Groceries run out of ice cream, bread and milk. The T and the Metro cars are frozen on their tracks. McDonalds is out of greasy fries. Car's can't make it to Dunkin Donuts. OMG, Armageddon at hand!

Now, the wise skiers will already snowed in at the resort of their choice. Backup generators are in full swing. Patrol can't get to the mountains. Greasy fries and $10 burgers galore! Oh dear, I guess we'll just have to stay here and be bored to death inside the lodge, when our cars can't move. I've been told we can't get out for a week, nor can anyone get in.

Damn extreme weather. How sad.

Am I reading this right, the "colder than normal" is only 1 or 2 degrees? Better than nothing I guess, but not really enough to pop the bubbly.


In November
Northeast - Colder than normal, except ME

In December
Northeast - Colder than normal

I believe 1 or 2 degrees will start an ice age if world-wide. I'd say "that's a start..."

Where to Hit the Slopes in 2011-12

Farmers Almanac released their guide for this season.

"In northern New England, where last winter brought plenty of powder to East Coast skiers, the fun will continue.

Anyone who enjoys the skiing Northeast knows there is no better skiing east of the Mississippi than in Vermont’s many unspoiled peaks. With heavy snow and colder than average temperatures predicted for much of the season, Vermont, and nearby resorts in New Hampshire and Maine, will be the place to be this winter. New York’s Adirondack range is also well situated for a good season"

Sounds good to me!

31F is better than 33F :smash:

They seem to have downgraded the snow forecasts for New Jersey, Poconos, Catskills, and Southern NH, but most of New England and Gore/Whiteface still looks pretty solid.

"Overall, precipitation is expected to be above normal throughout most of the Northeast from January into February. With the exception of northern parts of New York and New England, temperatures are forecast to average near normal for the winter season."

Still like the looks of it BG. While those "more southern" areas are looking to recieving less they also are covered by more snowmaking and it does have the word cold there. While I like it cold up north to preserve the natural down here where they pile on the manmade mild spells are quite enjoyable.

I dream of this scenario at least 3 times a week.

Not that they are weather guys but

"Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group LLC. predicts the northern U.S. will be cooler than normal, with lower temperatures reaching down the East Coast to South Carolina. MDA forecasts that most of the northern U.S. will be more seasonable, with some warmer-than-normal weather in Maine and northern New Hampshire and Vermont, and the coldest weather in Montana and North and South Dakota."

I will collect all forecasts, select the one I like best and go with that.

Soooooooooo, essentially this guy is saying the exact opposite of what the other predictions are saying. Awesome.
