Another Feb thaw freeze

[BenedictGomez]

How does Whiteface recover from thaw/freeze cycles?

Recover?

Yeah, ummmmm, well, when's the next snowstorm, because that's when Whiteface will recover.

When? On what model? GFS, new GFS, Canadian, NAM, etc are all showing rain extending well up into Canada for Thursday night/Friday before the front pushes through.

The one "helpful" thing for Northern VT at least is that it doesn't seem like there is a lot of moisture for Thursday/Friday in general for their area. Heaviest amounts are either well north or well south.

That’s not what Josh Fox is saying...

Not that I like this site for accurate weather but what the hell: https://www.mountain-forecast.com/peaks/Mount-Mansfield/forecasts/1339

Mt Mansfield does have its own weather..so I'm hoping..not that I will be up there this weekend but the less ice they get the better..I'm still skiing on ice that is weeks old.

And this looks good..even though its the mountains own forecast: https://www.stowe.com/the-mountain/mountain-conditions/snow-and-weather-report.aspx

trying to be positive...damn it!!!

SoVT will get some freezing rain and sleet tonight. Not ideal, but certainly not a snow melter. I'm a bit more concerned with Thursday into Friday.

I've been burned by mountain forecast many times....but yeah, appreciate the positive reach here.

Seeing snow in teh forecasts early next week. Couple of 3-5" mentions...would be nice....

Yes! just what I was posting about. Hope it happens!

 

[BenedictGomez]

Any website weather displays/predictions of precipitation of any form > 5 days out are near completely worthless.

 

[legalskier]

This rain sucks. It's February for Pete's sake.

 

[kingslug]

Yup..i usually only believe 2 days out..
But this is depressing..so if something shows snow..ill go with that for now

 

[kingslug]

Looks like it wasn't too bad from what I read..anyone out there let us know.
And it looks like winter is returning..on schedule.

I've found NWS to be fairly conservative in nature. The forecast discussions have the good info.

 

[nycskier]

Now they are saying no rain at Hunter tomorrow. It might be OK, right? Thoughts?

It will be soft in the morning. Temps dropping all day. Sharpen those edges for the weekend!

MRG is reporting a 1/4" of ice...not sure if that should be considered "not too bad". I suppose it is better than a downpour, but certainly not good for skiing surfaces either until more actual snow falls.
