It's been a long time since I've seen those numbers forecasted for valley elevations in those areas. If that holds true the mountains will see 30"

So, is the Catskills a lost cause or what?

You never know.

There is an ice and rain threat there for sure, but remember, a fairly insignificant 20 or 30 mile shift south last minute could spare them the brunt of the worst. The models are hardly perfect, that's why they call them "guidance" - fingers crossed for the Cats!

I saw that... Hard to believe that could come to fruition but we can always hope!

If that happens I'm not going into work at noon tomorrow.

I've lost faith in snowforecast.com. Even though they are in Europe, I'm more aligned with snow-forecast.com's work.

snow-forecast.com has been crazy accurate this year. The - all makes the difference.

Since Winn left snowforecast.com is worthless for the northeast. I also use snow-forecast.com now. Really like their altitude/temp graph and how each day is broken into 3 time periods.

Look at this.

It's an animated gif, so go to the site to see it. I need a change of clothes now. Yikes, I may never come home!

Any idea on the latest R/S line, new models, etc? I have vouchers for both Crotched and Ragged I could use tomorrow, Crotch is only good tomorrow but wondering if the extra bit north might be worth it.

I just charted out my travel plans this afternoon. I'm expecting sleet/freezing rain up rte 89 from Concord NH to Lebanon NH. Take that info, then go look at the snow gradient maps and extrapolate from there.

Continuing my last thought this map should work for you:


That deep blue line is probably it. Everybody below it gets some mixing. Ragged will get less mixing than Crotch.

Looking good for Magic. Saturday is going to be sweet even if the fresh is skied out by then.

Crotched skied terrific on Sunday. Even with an inch of rain it will end as 6-8" of snow. There was a 4-6" base in the trees (if that's your thing) that I don't think I jackhammer couldn't get through so they still might be in play come Thursday.

It's nowcasting time. You can look at live radar and get an idea. Right now it's in s.NH, just into VT, a bit above Albany, etc....

Here is our latest snowfall forecast for today through Thursday. Still a very tricky situation for portions of southern NH and the coastal plain of ME where mixed precipitation will be prevalent. At the immediate coast, mostly rain is expected today before cold air rapidly moves in tonight allowing for freezing rain...sleet...and snow combined with wind gusts over 35 mph at times. Stay tuned for forecast updates as the day progresses...this is a changeable situation. Up in the mountains...snow is expected...and loads of it.
