Nor Easter this weekend

[hammer]

Sorry for the delay guys. One of the late PM models indicates a slight shift northward, so that's a good thing. However, it's the less reliable run of the day so I'll wait to see what tonight's runs look like and if it (and other models) continues that trend (southern NH/ME resorts favored). I'll try to post something tonight after I get my first runs in of the season (Pats Peak), cool?

Cheers

Sounds good...what's the latest on the timing of the system?

Sat...PM probably...it may just slow it's pace up so wouldn't be surprised for it to hold off til Sat night.

Local guy is calling for a light snow in CT. The heavy snow line appears to be just south of Lawwwww-guh Island. Of course, areas like DC and Philli will get hammered. Another storm dropping snow where they just don't need it. Send this stuff to Southern VT!

nws taunton, this am:

THOUGH THE STORM IS STILL TWO DAYS OUT...IT IS LOOKING
MORE AND MORE THAT THIS WILL NOT BE AN EVENT FOR SOUTHERN NEW
ENGLAND.

I doubt the snow will impact DC. They already have gridlock in Washington :lol:

A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM EXPECTED LATE FRIDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
SATURDAY ACROSS THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION. PRESENTLY THE HIGHEST
SNOWFALL TOTALS ARE EXPECTED FURTHER TO THE SOUTH...BUT ANY CHANGE
IN STRENGTH OR MOVEMENT OF THE STORM MAY BRING HEAVY SNOWFALL
FURTHER NORTH. THE SNOW THAT IS EXPECTED MAY CREATE SOME SLIPPERY
TRAVEL AND LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCUMULATIONS. PLEASE PAY ATTENTION
TO FUTURE FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS REGARDING THIS STORM.

Accuweather has some new maps out.

That sucks. Its one thing to head into a storm to get some turns but totally another to do something like that. Good luck.

The better strategy is to not insist on powder to define a quality ski day.

Absolutely. Powder is great but if there is ever a day I am not having fun on the slopes then I think I would give up skiing.

Go skiing in PA or Mountain Creek!

It would only take a northern track of 30 miles or so for me to go from 3-6" to 6-12"!

Still time to come north. That's been the last minute trend this year. I'm hopeful.

I just want to know what the hell we did to piss off Mother Nature. The Winter Storm Watches I've seen couldn't have drawn a more accurate line around what I consider to be Northeastern ski country:angry:. I just laughed when I watched the Weather Channel this morning because there was nothing else left to do but cry.

The FIS crew is saying they would not be surprised if this nudges a tad further north then current NOAA predictions. Right now, NOAA says the chances of Allentown getting >6" is less then 20%. Hope FIS calls this correctly.....

Midday model runs STILL keep this thing just south of New England. There's a sharp cutoff on the northern side of it which could still edge closer to us and we remain skeptical with its sudden slowing and turning away from us. That's due to the downstream blocking and certainly bears watching. The last two storms didn't have that feature which allowed them to head out to sea.
