Welcome to the boards, Elf28p! My suggestion, if you are referring to New England, would be The Mount Washington Observatory. Particularly THIS PAGE. Good luck.

The beta......................
KB is right, the NOAA page will say the most and lead you directly to potential hazardous weather (it's in bold on the page with the city and st, ie Warren, VT and is a link to the NWS bulletin). The potential hazardous weather will give you a solid overview of an impending storm.

To better understand the storm, the weather pattern and to get a bead on "should I stay or should I go" I like to look at the forecast discussion. It's a bit further down the page under additional forecasts and info section. This is a meterologist forecast to other (later shift) meterologists and can often tell a whole lot about the storm in terms of just where, how much, what elevations, etc. I read this religiously (sp). This has a lot of jargon and short hand, but once you learn to read it, it can be extremely informative. It deals with weather model comparison and then potential outcomes, tracks based on different models etc. It can really give you an early bead on a storm....have fun with this part..............this will be right up Austin and Marks alley if they do not already use it.

Additionally, I look at Roemer's site and the MRG site. These are pretty good for predicting snows and giving useful data. Finally, the weatherband radio in our cars often tells specific elevation related weather in the "recreational forecast" part of the regular weather report, but this is only of use when you are gauging the storm from the area--ie, is it gonna dump and I stay a few more days, or is rain comin' in tonight, so you know tomorrow will not be prime.

NWS Weather Pages
BTW, I link directly to the appropriate NOAA/NWS page from every ski area profile. Simply click the "National Weather Service Forecast" link towards the bottom of each one...
