Snow..coming ???

[kingslug]

I'm putting the 25th on my calendar as the big east coast blizzard of 2018.

That has happened before..LOL
Not sure why or how but for the last 5 years we've hit good conditions on all our trips out west. Sometimes its gone from total crap the week before to total dump when we get there. But I hope to come back to at least something better than now. This weekend should be..interesting?

Looks OK for SoVT Saturday night into Sunday. Resorts may get a few inches of snow out of this one. Better than nothing...or rain.

Sounds better than earlier this week. Did they lose snow in the last few days?

AFAIK everybody took a bit of a hit on the natural yesterday. Not total devastation but we're working on a recent deficit. Very luckily we had 2-3 feet the week before.

Looks like most will do some resurfacing starting tonight with the colder temps.

It only gets worse next week.

Tim Kelly is saying there are signs to a turn around at the end of the month and into the first week of march

I keep hoping we start to see the models changing their mind about next week...it is quite ugly looking right now.

Yikes...

NOAA forecast for Stowe next week:


Washington's Birthday A 40 percent chance of showers after 1pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 46. South wind around 7 mph.
Monday Night Showers likely. Cloudy, with a low around 40. South wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%.

Tuesday Showers likely. Cloudy, with a high near 55. South wind around 7 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%.

Tuesday Night A 40 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a low around 46. South wind around 6 mph.

Wednesday A 50 percent chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 54. Southwest wind around 6 mph becoming west in the afternoon.

That plus vacation week traffic is going to do a number on the snowpack. :-(

All the good stuff at Stowe is closed. Wouldnt even go if I didn't have to. I'll be drinking the Heady in quantity....

They might get a little snow tonight and tomorrow night.

You know I'm just joking with you. I hope your trip and the snow is awesome.

Just like last season the holiday periods this season have been negatively impacted by extreme weather. Once we clear President's week I think winter will return.

I sure hope so...otherwise my liver may start to suffer the consequences.

2 years in a row with major meltdowns on feb break week. tough sledding

I'm not seeing any signs of that through the end of February.

I'm trying to have a little hope for the long weekend we took next weekend :lol:

Mix some dandelion greens into your bloody mary's, you should be fine.

I'm more of a wine (or VT beer) guy...not quite sure dandelion greens would mix well with that! :smile:

Have faith...it's coming.

I've spent a bundle to just get on a plane for 3 days to go anywhere..when this happens. Alta just got 15 inches. Might have to do that in March if this keeps up..already going in April but I'll be brain damaged by then if this keeps up...
Life was so easy before skiing..just hop on the bike and go..really fast, or the GTO...even in the rain, just made it more ..sporty..
