First Snowfalls, Upcoming weather and Storms of winter 2023-2024. Storm snow totals, Observations and Predictions?

[tnt1234]

Would be a fun day at blue for sure. I was banking on the catskills tomorrow but don't think it's worth the time off now. And blue will be skied off and groomed in by then.

SO this Tuesday Snow storm swung way to LOW for anything in the upper Northeast to get Snow. Vermont is a total miss not even at the bottom of the state and (Mount Snow). Keep our Ski's and Board's ready because a Thursday night into Friday Snow storm is our next best chance at new SNOW and better coverage. Here's to the SNOW gods! May they bless us once again in the Northeast with SNOW : )
We are currently hoping on Ohhhh Clipper storm, Ohhhhh Clipper storm. Where are thou Ohhhh Clipper storm

Poconos got it pretty good.

Went to Stratton this morning, not a flake of snow at Stratton or Mt Snow, sucks.

This season is the nail...in the coffin!

 

[ColdRain&Snow]

lol, the ct ski areas got their foot and I got less than two inches of slush, win/win

Poconos got it pretty good.

A foot of snow at Shawnee. So happy for those people. The Poconos never gets a good foot+.

Snowing like hell in northern VT.

 

[kingslug]

Why...yes it is.

Snow appeared in Vermont last night to the HAPPY surprise of more then a few ; )

I checked radar a number of times. This was classic cellular snow shower activity that turned into “streamers” once the front passed. Very upslope oriented. Not typically a good set up for Magic. But a NW-SE streamer set up that hit Brom and Magic. No predicting that. Purely snow gods smiling….

Oh and this was the northern stream system that failed to phase with southern storm and resulted in zero snow from coastal. It must have felt bad for us lol……

That would explain it. Any snow is good snow. 6-8 will fill in some bare spots.

We thank the SNOW gods and offer prayers and words in their name. Sacrifices of Time, Sweat, Wax and occasionally Blood!
"Ullr" we thank you, "Mother Nature" we thank you. Please bring the SNOW and COLD!!

Thursday night in Vermont

Its happening. Thursday through Saturday!! 2 Snow storms.
First a Northern Clipper system and then a cross county mid Atlantic storm back to back. Who wins this Snow lottery?
Need the storm systems to SLOW down to get better Snow production : )
Stowe and north to Jaypeak VT and Mt. Washington, NH areas are in good possible SNOW drop zones.

NOAA outlooks for the second half of February 2024. Where is it going to (and not going to!) snow?

snowbrains.com

Interesting this article has parts or major parts all written by AI. I found this included Hmmmmmm.
The NOAA yesterday released its outlooks for the second half of February, both 6-10 day and 8-14 day.
Here’s an AI generated summary of the text discussion for skiers. The full discussion for those familiar with meteorology jargon is further below.

Definitely has a few issues lol. Has anyone recently tried the Florida Ski areas?
Don't upset HAL

• East Coast: Near-normal temperatures with a slight tilt towards below-normal in south Florida might affect snow quality and accumulation in ski resorts in these areas.

Time for another 40 mph storm...

 

[VTSkiBike]

Well that storm was a bit of a bust around here.

Hoping for a few more inches during the day for a skin lap after work.

Something new to possibly look forward to : )~ Late next week. Despite an upcoming warmup early in the new week, a gathering storm may tap into cold air and deliver accumulating snow to parts of the Northeast.

GRAB ANYTHING YOU CAN. Ugly warm weather and not fun spring type currently lurking 8-10 days out.

Maybe Mother nature can turn the temperature down but ugly temps ahead more then a week out. ANYTHING through next weekend are the goods considering
