Friday event?

[Grassi21]

Well then, stop by Killington on Saturday or Sunday

I scored a ticket to the UConn v Indiana game on Saturday. I need to get myself up to K at least once this year to ski with you guys.

Perhaps. I did't want to be accused of jinxing anything...

Forget friday, next week is also looking really nice:

...FINALLY BONAFIDE WINTER AND IT WILL KEEP COMING WITH A COLDER
THAN NORMAL PATTERN FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS AND SEVERAL OPPORTUNITIES
FOR SUBSTANTIAL SNOW ICE AND/OR WIND...

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/...
SYNOPSIS...GGEM 10 DAY NORMALIZED MEAN 850 TT...THE ECMWF CONTD
BLOCK DVLMT FROM SCANDINAVIA TO ICELAND FORCES THE NAO TO AN
APPARENT PLUNGE WHICH IF REALIZED AS MODELED ON THE 00Z/17 GFS ENS
WOULD BE SETTING US UP FOR A BIG COASTAL STORM MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

ADDITIONALLY THIS PATTERN ALLOWS COLDER THAN NORMAL AIR TO
OCCASIONALLY INTRUDE INTO OUR AREA /EPO IS NEG/ AND NOT RUN OFF INTO THE N ATLC LIKE IT DID IN DEC/EARLY JAN.

THE CONTG EL NINO HAS A SEEMINGLY UNENDING SERIES OF STRONG SW'S
CROSSING THE PACIFIC NR 40N THAT EVENTUALLY REFORM IN THE SRN USA
WITH POTENTIAL TO CONNECT NEWD WITH THE STRONG FRONTS THAT CROSS OUR
AREA.

THE ABV SCENARIO...PROVIDED THE BLOCKING MODELED HOLDS CLOSE TO
PREDICTED THRU DAY 10... SUGGESTS THAT LAST WEEKENDS ICE STORM...
AND TODAYS ZERO TO 15 BELOW WIND CHILL THAT INVADED SNE THIS MORNING
ARE JUST THE BEGINNING OF A SERIES OF SIGNIFICANT WINTER WX EPISODES
THAT ARE LONG LONG OVERDUE IN THE EL NINO PATTERN THAT FOR SO LONG
HAD WINTER PTYPE CONVERTED TO RAIN BY ANOMALOUS WARMTH.


Music to my eyes

What area is that for? Not that I buy much into anything forecasted a week out, but still encouraging.

 

[loafer89]

This forecast is out of the Boston area and is for Southeastern New England. I am sold on the change to this colder snowier pattern as last weeks rain/ice storm brought in the cold air needed for snow from here on out.

My concern is that alot of next weeks snowfall will be coastal and be big time beneficial for Maine, which would make me happy, but I would rather have New England wide snowfall.

 

[tcharron]

Good news for Crotched, Wawa, Pat's Peak at least. Sat going to suck with the wind, tho..

You win some, you lose some.......

...THE COLDEST WEATHER SINCE FEBRUARY 27TH WILL PROBABLY BE FOLLOWED BY A PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW EARLY FRIDAY AND STRONG WIND SATURDAY...

SUBZERO WIND CHILL THIS MORNING OVER A LARGE PORTION OF SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A RAPIDLY INTENSIFYING GALE CENTER PASSING ACROSS CAPE COD FRIDAY MORNING.

THERE MAY BE A QUICK HITTING SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOWFALL JUST PRIOR TO THE MORNING RUSH HOUR OVER INTERIOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND.

THE GREATEST RISK FOR THIS BURST OF ACCUMULATIVE SNOW IS ALONG INTERSTATE 84 FROM NORTH CENTRAL CONNECTICUT TO STURBRIDGE...THEN UP ACROSS THE WORCESTER HILLS AND MONADNOCKS INTO THE MERRIMACK VALLEY.

FOLLOWING THE PASSAGE OF THIS GALE CENTER...A VERY WINDY SATURDAY IS UPCOMING. WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS GUSTING 45 OR 50 MPH WILL BE AFFECTING THE TRAVEL OF HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES AND POSSIBLY CAUSING ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES.

I am glad that I got a snowplowing contract last week. When I saw NOAA prediciting the turn to colder weather I thought that winter might come back all at once.

BAH! We just found out our plowguy doesn't work in the area/live in the area anymore..

The bad time to find out is when you're running on generator power, just figure out at the wrong time you are out of propane for the furnace, and your DRIVEWAY has a half an inch of sheer ice on it.. A good 500 feet, at a good uphill clip..

Our snowplow guy lives down the street from us and my driveway is 100% level though it is 315' long. Getting up to my house is another matter since we live on the highest spot in Coventry all of the approach roads are steep.

Good news for me I guess. I'll be at Wachusett tomorrow hopefully skiing 10th and Smith if they finally open, and then I should be there Friday night as well skiing the new powder.

Ill be there tommorow night...smith and tenth to open by tommorow? I dont know...

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

Dont like the 40mph wind gusts for Saturday, might put some summit lifts on hold...

Who knows, maybe luck will swing both ways, and we'll get snow but no wind...

You know, like, 12 inches turns into less then 1, so, 40 mile an hour winds turn to a mild barely noticeable breeze.

Snow Day!:grin:.......I hope:roll:

They're grooming both of them right now so I'd assume they'll be ready tomorrow.

 

[SKIQUATTRO]

bottomline is its snow and its good......

 

[loafer89]

I am waiting to see what the forecast is for Sugarloaf tomorrow morning before making the decision to go or not. Right now I have friday off if I want it, so it depends on how much snow they might get.

The possible blizzard conditions for saturday have me worried a bit, but I could always go home or seek a lower elevation area like Sunday River.

 

[maineskier69]

I am Sunday River bound Sat PM and staying over to hit her hard and heavy Sunday AM.

I am noticing the muscles I have not used in a while today after yesterday's Loaf extravaganza.

 

[Nevada West]

Right on. Storm systems have had a similar pattern in past warm/wet seasons. We are going to get blasted soon.
