Next Two Weeks...

[SnowRider]

Accuweather is not accurate short-term/long-term but they do give a hint of when warm/cold spells will come.

Unfortunatly this next couple weeks doesn't look so good for high temperatures and with my vacation week right around the corner the forecast is pretty important.

Anybody got any ideas on the next couple of weeks?

It will b cold. It may be warmer then 32. It could snow, it might rain a little or alot. There will b some sun and or clouds.

Models are trying to spin a return to the cold/stormy in the 8 to 10 day out range, sounds like a good excuse to start another thread! :idea: And do remember that the last couple of years in the Northeast that Holidays in February + March and even April have been very generous to us snow enthuiasts!

We're getting the thaw that I thought we would get. Very very rare to go through a season without one. Obviously the hope is we get a stormy cold period late Feb/March setting us up for a great spring. Its gone that way many years so hopefully this year won't be different. I am going to enjoy the warmer weather this weekend after yesterday which I thought was brutal cold.

In the mountains??? Touch 50 and then go down into the 20s at night..

I'm on your side here, it's not like I'll be wearing shorts all weekend. But 50 degrees and sunny all day long is going to cause some snow to melt. Then when it's 20 degrees at night, it was freeze and cause the trails to ice up. Isn't that the very definition of a freeze/thaw cycle?

I'm not trying to be a dick, maybe I just don't understand the terminology. I am still a newbie afterall.

That will make for perfect spring conditions..hard frozen cord in the morning is so freaking fast..then it will soften up a bit but still be fast..corn snow..before some smashed tators..much better than squeaky slow packed powder..

In the mountains of Jersey it is forecast to be in the mid to upper 40's on Saturday and Sunday and also Wed. and Thurs., 30's on the other days. 10 day has 20's most nights. Doesn't seem too bad to me, I guess we got a little spoiled by all the cold weather. Hidden Valley was blowing snow all day yesterday, I presume in preparation for the relatively warm air.

I'm looking forward to ditching the jacket this weekend and skiing in a fleece..maybe it will be mushy enough to bring out the Blowers..

i actually got out my spring shell. its going to be a fun weekend.

We were due for this sooner or later. It'll be sad to see the good conditions go when the next freee hits but be glad we finally have a winter where it's not 65 degrees half the time. I'm actually kinda glad its going for 50 Sunday so I can get this crap out of my driveway that's been here for a month. Long range is starting to show colder weather coming back after next week so we'll be fine.

Today still started out in the low teens here..

accuweather.com's "next weeks peak" sounds promising. I'm telling you that voodoo lady i saw in new orleans was spooky (see other thread) . the storm from the 18th to the 20th is coming!

 

[tcharron]

My concern is like next friday and NCP. :-(

correct. here in west milford it was 12 at 7:30 and got to 45 by 2:30 or so. its 38 now. i heard its gonna be colder after 2pm sunday, then moderate. maybe not so warm for so long.

I woke this morning to the dreadful sound of *drip* *drip*.

After who knows how many days straight, we are finally above freezing here in Ashland, NH. And not just any above freezing. 45 degrees above freezing with serious melting and a few sprinkles. Back down to 39 currently, but the damage has likely been done.

On the bright side, this teens for a high stuff was getting seriously old and it is nice to see some pavement showing through in our drive way and the local road. Haven't seen that in months.

Mountains in the north are probably fairing at least a little better. Call this our January thaw a week late. Let's get it over with and get back into a storm cycle and I'll be content.
