Come on now Winn, what could go wrong? ;) It's not like the 2 pieces of energy right now are basically located about 1500 miles of Latitude part right now and longitudinally about 2000 miles west of here or anything? What could possible go wrong in the next 48-60 hours or so? ;) ;) ;)

Seriously though, this could be pretty cool to watch happen (although I think that I'll be watching it on Friday from the slopes of Mount Snow rather than my office in CT! :) )

LOL! Yeah, it'll be fun to track for sure...and you have the right plan for sure! The thing that has me worried is that this Midwest short-wave is in a pretty flat flow just beginning to enter the relatively low amplitude long-wave trough. The dynamics for intensification lie in the jet streak way out over Newfoundland--I just fear that the flare up occurs too far offshore. Even if it does though, it's still some snowfall for most areas.

I gotta step away from the charts for a bit and get my weekly hockey on. Will be back to chat this PM.

That is pretty much what the Euro model is now showing. The low gets pushed offshore instead of tracking up the coast. N Vermont left dry :-x:-x:mad::x:-x:-x:-x:-x

I have NO SNOW in my yard and haven't for a week now AND IT IS EARLY FEBRUARY!. What the hell is going on? I'm starting to freak out a bit.

WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO
Was planning on taking the BSSC bus to Stowe on Saturday but would rather drive somewhere closer (Cannon, Wildcat) and get there earlier if there's really going to be a lot of fresh snow...

This was never going to be a big producer for N.VT. Points south fared better since day 1 on all models.

Jay Peak still gets 3" or 4" verbatim to the Euro depiction, and you know how that goes..... watch them get 6" or 8" and nobody will be surprised. Cheer up, it's going to snow.

When you come back, I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on the timing for So VT, particularly Magic. I was planning on Fri, but now I'm second guessing myself into Sat.

No idea what he means, the 00z Euro is snowrgasmic.

Not for N VT. He's referring to the Euro you posted earlier that shows the heavy backedge snowfall over southern NE, not N Vt.

NEK - YOu should still pick up some accumulation from the Midwest system sliding through--just probably not the real heavy stuff from the offshore merged storm.

And now local NBC news is trying to scare people....

They've taken the ONE model that has the center of the storm over NJ (all others have it much farther NE and over CT and Boston) and splashed it on television.

That's what they do -----> :stirpot:

Looks like Sunapee may be the winner in NH. Winn has it down for 12. Cannon is 8 and Loon and Waterville are 10. It will be a game time choice for me.

If anyone sees a white FJ with a red skid plate heading north on 93.


Get out of my way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How much snow you think for the Catskills, and Elk in PA. ?
