January 2nd - 3rd storm

2-4 inches per hour possible for some. Wow. Hopefully this storm tracks a bit further north than they think!

Berkshire east would not be a good bet for the woods if you like your bases. I was there a couple days ago and there is no base outside of man made snow. A foot of snow would help things big time!

Yikes....even I'm starting to reconsider.

There really is only one answer. Fixed grip.

Here are the latest NWS snow forecast maps, overlaid with ski areas
You owe me first tracks

In a word,

I lovingly this thread we should set up a Platty alpine zone meet for this weekend.

I'm still thinking we're sadly going to be frozen out of skiing on Saturday.

There is so much in flux with this storm that the track change on almost an hourly basis. I have a feeling many of us won't be making decisions until right before.

Nice @billski, I see that damn Wind Chill, I am still calling in sick on Friday to be up somewhere by 8AM.

Amen. So much could change still. But if you look at trends, the one thing that has been remarkably consistent is that all guidance suggests s.NE in the jackpot zone. Catskills and Berks and s.VT etc...

Also, if you look at trends, the one model that was somewhat pessimistic was the Canadian (wanted to put a big chunk of the precip shield OTC), and now even that shows a big snowstorm over land.

Here's what I mean with the Canuck.

It still has the best snowfalls farther east than any of the models, but it moved way west from prior (a very good sign).

Even where I am in NJ I would get about 9" from this run, and before it only wanted to give me like 3" or 4".

Layers and breaks and lots of warm tea and we will be okay.

I given up on that website. The other day before Mountain snow (lol) got the 9 inches of snow they had it forecasted for no snow like 12 hours before. I wish we could hire winnchill for his great forecast ability.

Maybe YOU will be okay, but if the temperature is -8 with a 15 mph wind to boot, I'll be on a couch watching football!

Second Canuck model is in.

Pretty much the same idea as the other models, but this one is the most north of all the models and basically takes NJ and NYCs snow and gives it to central VT. Remember to multiply the snow on this map by 1.5 for actual totals since the default is only 10:1.

I think you missed your calling in meteorology!
