2014-2015 Winter Forecast (here we go)

[BenedictGomez]

You never know if you don't go. The season is too short. Whatchagonnado? Stay home and watch ski racing?
I was out in -15 last weekend. The forecast was for winds that never materialized: these are valley forecasts.. What mountain are you considering.

I'd planned on hitting Smuggs this weekend, but the Catskills might be the wiser choice as twelve hours would be a lot of driving for 1 day of skiing. On the positive slide, those 35mph winds I quoted are only for 3000ft+ so I'll just keep a close eye and check in it tomorrow afternoon.

The ultimate 1st World Problem. I'm not sure I want snow early next week, because it'll be hard to take time off so close to my trip.

Nickels, dimes, we just keep plugging away out here. Missed out on this one but early next week is looking decent, maybe it saves areas that were screwed today.

Euro! Amped up system Monday! Oh god

The Euro? The same Euro that said I'd have 3 feet instead of 3 inches?

Yes, hence the oh god. Euro actually sniffed out the big coastal before the other models did. It just failed horribly in the short range.

There is just a line of storms coming in. Friday, next Monday. These are both strong signals. Plenty of cold too.

I'm game...

Here's your sign

If you want to play ball first you have to be in the ballpark.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Need this to come a tad west...

Hey BG, it pushed enough west to start snowing moderately here again. We need a bigger tad....

You sound like a broken record!

Not a good weekend here in northern Vermont. Highs in the low single digits with strong winds.

I was going to leave after work, but I may pull the plug. Will give a final look at 3pm.

The thing that STINKS is the gf burned a day off on tomorrow and as a teacher she only gets 3 to use so we use them all in winter for 3 day ski trips.

 

[catsup948]

Monday is trending better. But better it seems for areas where they just got 30 inches of snow.

 

[catsup948]

Canadian still has a decent storm Monday for southern New England. GFS has moved it south again. There isn't as strong of high to the north so there is some room for this to come north. It's better for the mid Atlantic right now. Faster mover.

 

[BenedictGomez]

So this weekend was basically a loss due to negative "high" temps and -20s windchills.

Starting to get concerned that next weekend might not be too far from the same.

 

[steep911]

Yes

 

[Boston Bulldog]

Pacific Ridge and PNA relaxation in about 6-7 days could pop a good storm. Something to watch, but I'm not sold due to a neutral AO and a very poor NAO. The transient block can only last for so long.

It was a win for me, had a blast today

Climate forecast model pointing to a brutally cold February.

It's been wrong for November, December, and January, so lets hope the "Broken Clock Theorem" holds and it will be correct this time.
