I'm sitting here in NE CT with maybe a half dozen flakes so far . My wife just called me and assures me that it's snowing and snowing pretty good down by her office in SE CT right now.

you nailed that forecast better than NWS.

Boston sez:
"CLIPPER SYSTEM WILL PASS SOUTH OF NEW ENGLAND TODAY. FORECAST WAS
[FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]NOT AN EASY ONE...ESPECIALLY WHEN TALKING ABOUT POPS AND SNOWFALL
AMOUNTS...[/FONT]
[FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]THOUGHT ABOUT PULLING DOWN MOST OF THE ADVISORIES WITH PACKAGE EXCEPT
FOR RHODE ISLAND AND SE MASS. HOWEVER...SOME OF THE GUIDANCE...EVEN
WITH PALTRY QPF...HAS A NICE SWATH OF LOW LEVEL FRONTOGENESIS AND
OKAY SNOW GROWTH FROM BDL EASTWARD TO OWD...SO QPF COULD BE UNDERDONE
THERE. THEREFORE...HAVE DECIDED TO KEEP THE ADVISORIES UP FOR
NORTHERN CT..

[/FONT][FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]OTHERWISE...AREAS TO THE NORTH OF THE ADVISORY AREA MAY SEE AN INCH
OR TWO. NOT SURE IF IT WILL EVEN SNOW MORE THAN A TRACE NORTH OF
ROUTE 2 AND WEST OF 495. WENT WITH CHANCE POPS THERE.

ALBANY SEZ:
[/FONT][FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]NEAR TERM /UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING/...
BASED ON OBSERVATIONS FROM THE SPOTTER NETWORK...RADAR IMAGERY
INDICATING A DECREASE IN COVERAGE AND COLDER CLOUD TOPS QUICKLY
DEPARTING TO THE EAST...WE WILL DROP THE ADVISORY FOR SOUTHERN
LITCHFIELD COUNTY. HIGHEST TOTAL OF SNOW THUS FAR HAS BEEN 1 INCH
ACROSS NW CT AND WITH LITTLE ADDITIONAL SNOW EXPECTED. THIS HAS
BEEN COLLABORATED WITH OKX AND BOX WFOS."

[/FONT][FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]LOOKS LIKE WE WILL BE SHORT ON ADVISORY LEVEL SNOWS...4 INCHES.
RADAR AND OBSERVATIONS INDICATING VERY LIGHT SNOW.[/FONT]"

Binghamton sez:
"
[FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]THE VERY LIGHT SNOW CONTINUES EARLY THIS MORNING ON NORTHERN
PERIPHERY OF CLIPPER SYSTEM. BASED ON THE FEW SPOTTER REPORTS WE
HAVE RECEIVED, THE SNOW WAS LIGHT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY CANCELLING THE
ADVISORY. "

But they do feel confident about the temps:
[/FONT][FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/...
IF WE GET ANY WIND AT ALL TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY, A WIND CHILL
ADVISORY WILL BE A NO BRAINER."

and for da weekend:
[/FONT][FONT=Courier New, Courier, mono]ANOTHER WEAK SYSTEM CLIPS THE REGION ON SATURDAY, WITH A GENERAL 1
TO 2 INCHES OF SNOW FORECAST.
[/FONT]

At least NWS Fesses up. The media just forgets....

Hmmm. heat wave, eh? Teens are my favorite temp for skiing.

 

[Johnskiismore]

NOAA is saying that the high for Lincoln, NH is going to be -1F this afternoon. No, it is in the teens..... I'm sure that we'll make up for it tonight!

 

[ALLSKIING]

We got about 6+ inches and its still snowing....God I wist there was a hill near.

When I was in Boy Scouts we would often camp in Bating Hallow. There was a nasty trail called Cardiac Hill that you would have to climb between the swimming hole and the mess hall. I haven't been there in more than 15yrs., but I bet when its covered it could be done. I'm sure they won't mind

 

[billski]

. -21 here@ Stowe. Once it gets below -5. It all feels the same!

630am Friday. Minus 29. Nothing moves, literally. Feels like home. Cross fingers car starts. Go hunting for Hardline soon.
