Looks like a pile o' shit blowing in Tuesday 1/3. Hope it gets colder, its still too warm.

Yep. Way too warm. The measly 6 inches we got in the upper valley is already melting and will probably be gone by Tuesday.

Looks like another round of bullet proof trails coming up for the Northeast but the good thing is this time around the cold will be sustained and no threat of a January thaw in sight. Not a lot of New snow, but cold which is great for snow making.

Meanwhile out in California, its just gaudy numbers like Diamond Peak with 57" over the last 48 HOURS. :eek: Expect some of that is headed your way Dave. Instructed the boy to stay out of the back country when we sent him back Wednesday.

Nice cold shot here should probably allow the local hill to get to 100%, which is good. They can then focus on resurfacing and hopefully some bumps so I can practice for more NNE weekends and trip #1 to Colorado beginning of Feb.

Hopefully Feb will be New England's turn and it will rock into April.

There is a snow train across the country. California's snow is also brining the foods to Colorado and working eastward. Cross fingers for New England although looks like it will be a bit further south and graze NE.

Long range it looks good for NE excepting maybe next Wednesday.

Poconos get screwed, as per usual. I don't mind too much but I have to arrange a work ski trip and if the weather doesn't cooperate it'd be a bummer.

Yeah, Wed 1/11 looks like rain will make it all the way to Canada.

If I was booked for next weekend I'd be a little disappointed but I think we're in an overall productive snowy weather time and even counting the rain for many places this week will be a net gain. The rain looks to get covered up with snow without too long a wait also.

I hope so but all I see on the long term is rain storm after rain storm.

My next long outing is last week in Jan. Looks like a warm up around the 18-20th might be a spoiler. Darn it.

It's a January thaw. They happen almost every year. Natural terrain may go in and out of play but anything with good snowmaking should be fine. After This past weekend especially today I'm looking forward to a little warmth to ski in for a couple of days. February is usually the northeast's time.

He is generally very good at longer term trends. I think we are screwed for a bit. Keep the Slalom skis sharp.

Just checked with friend of mine. PSNH predicting warm and rainy for foreseeable future. Only hope is forecasts are wrong.
