Hope your right St Bear but I think we go in to the doldrums for a little while, kinda of like a half time. I'll take it if we can get and good February and early March. No science behind this, just a hunch from living in the northeast all these years. Seems like even the best winters have some sort of relaxation period at some point.

As of right now, except for a few random flakes that might hold on from the "lake effect machine" the Northeast is looking quite quiet for the next week plus 
Might as well get out and enjoy some good 'ol fashioned packed powder skiing in the mean time until the storm track hopefully wakes back up around MLK weekend (fingers crossed)

As long as there's no rain or thaw I am happy. Another snowstorm would rock of course, but nice cold weather and snowguns will be fine for the time being!

Little clipper moving thru Tuesday is about it. MLK weekend is the earliest signs of some potential, but largely depends on Jet stream split and how far east the moisture develops. Sitting tight and skiing the Pokeys this week.

the MLK storm is too far out to determine track....there is a massive system blowing up (almost looks like a tropical strom) over New Orleans, then either it come up the Appliations, up the coast or out to sea....keep the fingers crossed
Farmers Almc shows cold for Jan 20-23...so hopefully there is just bad computer info generating in the models for end of the month....mtn wx is alwas different once altitude is equated in...

I wonder if the NWS forecast computer has ever been hacked.

Accuweather thinks the snow will start in the mid-atlantic, but be blocked from coming further north.
But then again, it is Accuweather, so interpret what you will.

NWS does forecast blowtorch for up here in the 8- to 14-day, the week after MLK. Josh Fox also sees this risk. The good news is NWS is progging only normal precip for the same period.
It hasn't struck me as an unusually snowy winter but that varies within the region. Snowpack actually is 16" above average at the Mansfield stake, at 56"; the Greens and some other parts of the north country have quietly benefitted from a succession of light snowfall events since the extended New Year's storm. Even down here near the NE Mass coast we still have maybe 4-5" of pack, mostly from more than a week ago and the consistently below-freezing temps since. (Hell, I even made some runs yesterday off my septic hill into the adjoining woods - 12' vert, yah baby! But no, no TR)
Anyway, would be nice if things would line up for a good dump next weekend before any thaw.

Here's my 2 week out call (completely non science based :lol: ). MEGA STORM (will be talked about in years to come more than the Blizzard of '78 or the March '93 "Storm of the Century" ) from the Mississippi River on over to the Atlantic Coast from along about Tuesday the 25th on through Monday Feb 1st.
Here's why:
1) I won't be skiing and will be at a meeting in Boston
2) On Thursday the 28th my business partner has to fly from the meeting we'll be at in Boston out to Chicago for another meeting and then fly back to Boston on the 29th
3) My wife will be flying out the Vegas on the 27th for a meeting and back on the 31st
4) So that I can attend my meeting and my wife can attend her meeting, my mother has to fly up from Florida on the 26th to watch our kids
By putting all those travel variables together, the chances of a travel crippling long duration storm of epic proportions get very, very high! Better start booking hotels at your favorite ski area and stocking up on food and drink now!!!! :lol:
*note, the weather is so boring right now in the Northeast (and look to be for another solid week or so) that I felt the urge to do something to spice it up a bit! :lol:
