This would be awesome. The weather forecast for next weekend (though early) looks promisingly nice, so I just booked 2 nights in Lake Placid.

I know, which is why I need there to be stockpiles of snow to last another 6 weeks.

I’m onboard. Last weekend on his weather blog post, Tim Kelley called for colder air and snow around the 21st or shortly thereafter. NAO is heading negative until the beginning of April. I generally listen to what Tim says when it comes to snow!:smile:
Excerpt from Tim's post:
Then next weekend we return to history making weather. The coldest air for so late in the season , in years is here by the second day of Calendar Spring. Record lows are likely March 21-25. There will still be a parade of Pacific storms crossing the United States (Mountains of Washington State and British Colombia may get 6 feet of snow in the next ten days). Those storms will bring more spring snows to New England starting March 21 or so. The North Atlantic Oscillation is forecast to go Negative into the Beginning of April, meaning our Baseball Fields may be snow covered this April. That also delays and increases the Major Flood Risk for New England next month.

NWS is onboard. extrapolate the below valley forecast for No VT to the higher elevations and I see a lot of sweet snow, perhaps even some moderate weight pow. Temps are hovering right around that magic number. I'll be in No VT this weekend. Stowe, MRG. Sorry, can't make the summit. Other friends are calling. Have a great time, I think you'll be winners!

As of right it this looks to be a Southern event, with the Northern fringes (and associated light accumulations) not making it much further North then Southern VT/NH

For once, I'm dying for this one to go way north. Still hopeful.

hahah. I just got one of those a minute ago.
Seriously? I'm pretty shocked by that. I saw plenty of ground on the natural sections at Platty on Saturday, but I figured further up north they'd still be okay.
