Haven't had one all winter...

I liked the analogy one of my local TV mets made this morning about why the potential is there, but it won't happen this weekend: (paraphrasing here) this weekend if we were trying to bake a snowstorm cake, we'd have all the proper ingredients out on the counter to do so, but the ingredients won't get mixed together in the bowl!

I thought that summed it up well!

Perfect analogy. The energy is too clogged right now. Each piece is stealing energy from each other, prohibiting strengthening. End result, they slip out to sea with the flow. More space between each piece of energy and they can rev up and form a coastal storm. The potential was there, the space wasn't. We were prett damn close

Time to focus around the 23rd for the next opportunity. The flow is showing hints of buckling around then.

It would be helpful. Only good news on that front is that we are getting to the part of the year where that's most likely to happen.

90% of the time??!?!? Do you have a link to back that up? :roll:

No he left the company that he forecasting for it was snowforecast.com company doesn't do such a great job with east coast now that he is gone from them in my opinion. Several times while I personally asked him for when snow amounts or change from snow to rai$ would happen and he gave me great advice and it usually was correct . I also ask him on the fourm for snow amounts several days out and was correct a lot I don't have a link but if your bored I sure you can find the posts from past couple years. How do we get him to work for snowforecast. Com is the question but I doubt that will happen. We alpine zone should pay him but I doubt he got time for that now.

It's really too bad about C.

I've been using http://www.snow-forecast.com/ this year. For a UK operation it's been amazingly good. I actually handed over my money to get more details.

Man oh man, do we ever need a storm. I saw that Mittersill is down to bare ground after having 20 inches about a week ago.

At the same time the lakes region still has half a foot OTG. Weird ass winter

Nah. Just stirring the pot.

I miss having Win around. He was a great asset on this board.

Euro depiction of Wednesday/Thursday storm looking a bit better. Baby steps to recovery I hope.

Well, for one or two season, we had our very own private meteorologist for free! It was too good to last.

The company he worked for, snowforecast.com never actually fulfill their claim of "customized forecast for each mountain" except for a few of the most popular mountains in the Rockies. I suspect they only do it for mountain they can get paid for (either by the mountain or by advertiser). Winn was filling the gap by answering our specific questions on specific mountains. So while that gave us a taste of what capability their software has, the company as a whole falls short from many of the northeast skiers' perspective.

Snowforecast.com, where every mountain gets snow everyday.

Wish their predictions were correct. Mittersill would have been open by Thanksgiving.

Be nice to me and you still may get your own private forecast. I'm a professional meteorologist with a specialty in mountain meteorology.

One of my all time favorite winter storms in this area January 12 2011 came with no blocking. I hope someone else remembers that storm. Places around here had feet of snow.

You're an awesome guy and a fantastic skier.

Now cough up your forecast !

Forecast: The Clippers are coming, the Clippers are coming!!! Best for northern areas but good for all. Sure beats the warm, fog and NCP we've been having of late.

+1 but it was snowing were I live. So hopefully it snowing at all the hills this morning.

Woke up to 1-2 inches on the ground! Air is cold. Winter is back! =)
