Jan 4-5 Event

What are the top one or two websites for a layperson to keep apprised of northeast ski weather?

We're still in a modeling phase. These are not forecasts and nobody's willing to put probabilities on it. Forecasts won't begin until three days out.

On a per-ski area basis, this was pretty good last year:

Modeling snow is a bit trickier. I would suggest you use this one, if you don't mind death by a 1000 clicks

Bad model runs across the board this afternoon. The warm flow arrives faster because the cold HP retreated faster.

That sux. That puts only Sugarloaf and saddleback in the money. Glad we're still four days away.

How looking for Catskills any snow at all for Roxbury elevation 3500?

Right under a snow gun after the front passes by would be your best bet. :dunce:

Yuck...... Just looking at this now and this is the type of "storm" that it would be better that it DOESNT happen, for most areas.

On the bright side, at least cold air seems to be following on its' heels.

Cold air doesn't look to stick around for that long either

The question is, is this storm going to drop more snow in San Diego than New England?

Wishful thinking: Maybe the temperature profiles will be off by a handful of degrees and it will stay as mostly snow for more areas.

Antecedent airmass is very good. This will lay down a nice base with some sleet/frz/rain on top of it. Good base building. It's looking very cold late next week. Snow will be locked for better or worse.

Looking like a powder day for places like Sundown and Wawa on Weds lol

Like I said 2 weeks ago, a base is only good if it's followed by snow.

Next week will have at least one Alberta clipper. 1-3 inch light fast movers. Maybe one redevelops into a bigger storm off shore, the 7th is a possibility. This would likely not impact ski country though.

Though something to watch tomorrow for northern vermont. Surface front dropping out of Canada mixing with lake effect moisture could produce up to a foot of snow. http://forecast.weather.gov/product...&format=ci&version=1&glossary=1&highlight=off

Better runs last night. More areas back in play.

Getting nickeled and dimed is a good thing and should get things spiced up again quickly (maybe even the woods). Hopefully we can get a couple of big ticket items in February and March. This year is reminding me of 1992-93 so far and if it plays out that way again we will all be happy.

Mid to end of January could be very good too. Skiing is great at Berkshire East today.

Burlington has higher totals and mention it not changing over until the late morning and afternoon.
