Snow..coming ???

[JDMRoma]

Doubtful. It's too late to be making snow and I bet almost all of them have blown their budget with all the thaw freeze cycles we have had. Mayeb K and Snow with their new system but I don't see anyone beyond them.

Cannon will be turning the guns back on as soon as the temps allow, so yeah theyre not done yet !

NAM brings the low further south and So VT gets a little white.

Looks like Catskills could win big.

Supposed to go to Stowe this weekend, but might bail and do the catskills instead. tough call. Likely good snow, but....we'd be in the catskills vs. great beer, long groomers, and good food at stowe.

The Catskills will win big! I will be in Vegas then Snowbird. You can thank me!

Utah is getting the goods though, so everyone wins!

Are you going to check out the local hill while you're in Vegas?

Nah, taking the Wife to see Elton John, Gamble (A little), Bryce Canyon and then Snowbird.

Yup!

The GFS this morning is showing it a little further North. While Southern VT doesn't look good Northern locals look to get white for the most part. I am not willing to bet my life on it but just putting out what it is showing>

Oh dear, which to believe???

Too late? Not really. Wasn't it just last year that Sugarbush was making snow in early March? (which was unheard of at the time for sure...but crazy weather forces people to do things they wouldn't normally do)

2015-2016 a bunch of places made snow in April!

Not true.

There is a web site for snow making staff members. 14 NY and New England resort staff members posted on Sunday night, that they were making snow. While Killington and Snow not among them. Might just be they were too tired to post.

Loon, Camelback, and one other posted they were blowing snow last night.

As My winter seasonal job ends about 3-6, They better keep it going ! I want to ski into April !

We have about 48 hours before the TV stations start repeating "BOMBOGENESIS" and comparing it in advance to the largest snow storms in history.

 

[abc]

By then, the road might not be passable. Or at the minimum, very slow going.

Again, you are welcome all Catskill peeps!

So... where should we go ski/ride?

That map looks wildly optimistic. Wunderground has maybe 3-8" in VT and basically nothing in MA.

Never used that source though - is it at all reliable?

VT > NH for this one for sure, especially given the coastal wind.

The GFS is still showing pretty much a bust except for Whiteface and Wildcat etc

The NAM from 6 hours before that was also a total bust. Just something to keep an eye on.

As for the site it's as reliable as the models it's pulling data from. Wunderground is showing you their best estimate of a combination of models. But as of now we have a 30" difference in snowfall across 2 of the major models... lol

As reliable as the NAM is (which sometimes is right and sometimes is wrong). That is one hell of a sharp cutoff to the north in precip. Northern and even most of central VT gets pretty well shafted by that track.

Assuming the NAM doesn't change, you can expect when the NAM 3k CONUS comes into play (around this time tomorrow) to see the snow extend fully up the spine of the greens. Cutoffs aren't that sharp when there's mountain ranges sticking out of them.

We'll see later tonight if this was an anomaly or a possible trend.

This storm is kinda confusing. Weather.com app says everywhere is getting pounded with rain, but then they have a video saying we are getting snow.

Praying for snow. Anymore rain and I'm dusting off the mtb...
