Can a low change course by a couple of hundred miles over the course of 48 hrs?

Any actual rain looks to be brief for wildcat and much of Maine at this point.

Yeah, but the thaw is gonna kill the natural trails and woods I'm afraid. Was thinking of diverting to Sugarloaf, but it gets warm there too.

We're locked into a condo at Smuggs this weekend, so I've been watching. This mid week storm isn't ideal, but it seems to me things are trending better over the past two days. If the temp stays a few degrees cooler and limits NFP, the impact may not be so bad.

It went be pristine but any thaw is short and not really all that hot. I'm saying dense with maybe a crust....if its busted up not a problem. Also Saturday could add a few inches on top and make everything flat and scurfy. I'm trying to be optimistic here. ....

Oh my dearest god, unfollow Weatherboy ASAP. Worst "fake news" weather site on the internet, and 2nd place isn't close.

When he says "we" and "our staff", he means "him" (it's one guy), and he posts the worst most overdone apocalyptic snow maps he can find to generate clicks and shares, not to mention almost all of his 250,000+ "likes" are fake likes purchased out of Turkey. Other fun facts are he doesnt have a degree in meteorology and has sued (really) real meterologists who have attacked his credibility on Facebook. He's the guy who posted a massive snowstorm map a few years back that went viral, to the point that real mets had to debunk it on air and online etc...

Thanks for the heads up.

Done.

Hadn't seen anything by this 'boy' before, this got re-shared by a friend...

Sorry.-w

No need to apologize, just giving a heads up. For every snowstorm he'll post the map with the solution that shows the most snow to get clicks. Does the same with hurricanes, etc... Focuses on population centers (NYC, DC, Boston). It's really irresponsible stuff.
