Sundown - Friday POWDER afternoon / evening

I'll be there at some point, the exact time depends on when I get into work and the road conditions/traffic. I'll be skiing until close, to make sure the roads are clear...

12/13/07:


2/22/08:


CT skiing doesn't get any better than that. And those bumps on Temptor right now are HUGE. It's going to be nuts.

my deepest apologies!

 

[rueler]

tentatively IN!! If it's snowing I will do my best to be there...If it's a foot plus, I may just ski in the woods at my local hill.

 

[Greg]

If it's a foot plus, I may just ski in the woods at my local hill.

Boo. Come on. Ski 10 inches of snow over no base at Mount Flatington, or rip powder bumps with the cool kids at the mighty Sundown? Easy decision. And if you insist on some woods, I'll show you some if you're there during daylight hours and there's enough snow.

BTW, check this out:

.SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT/...
THEN...OUR STORM...CURRENTLY NEAR THE FOUR CORNERS AREA...WILL BE
HURLED EASTWARD BY A POWER HOUSE UPPER JET THAT ORIGINATES FAR OUT
IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN. THIS STORM WILL "TRANSLATE" EASTWARD AND FEED
OFF AN INCREASING BAROCLINIC ZONE WHICH WILL INDUCE PRETTY
IMPRESSIVE ISENTROPIC LIFT. THE STORM IS FORECAST TO SLIP OFF THE
EASTERN SEABOARD AS EARLY AS 00Z SATURDAY!

ALL MODELS HAVE TRENDED THE SURFACE OPEN LOW FURTHER SOUTH SOME
50-100 MILES COMPARED TO PREVIOUS GUIDANCE. EARLIER...IT LOOK AS IF
THE LOW WOULD TRACK ALONG THE INTERSTATE 80 CORRIDOR. NOW...THE
EURO/GFS/AND CANADIAN MODELS TRACK THIS MORE ALONG THE INTERSTATE 70
CORRIDOR AND IN FACT...THE NAM IS A TAD SOUTH OF THAT!

WITH THIS BEING AN OPEN WAVE AND THE MAX FGEN LOOKING TO ALSO TO BE
SOUTH OF EVEN POUGHKEEPSIE THE QUESTION IS WHETHER THE QPF WOULD BE
SUBSTANTIALLY CUT BACK. OVERALL IT HAS SOMEWHAT COMPARED TO
YESTERDAY`S ROBUST FORECAST. HOWEVER...ALL MODELS INDICATE A QPF OF
AROUND HALF AN INCH TO THE NORTH OF ALBANY AND STILL APPROACHING (OR
SOME IN CASES) EXCEEDING AN INCH IN OUR SOUTHERN ZONES. SINCE ALL
MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW ALL SNOW WITH THIS EVENT ...AND THE HIGH QPF
SOUTH (LOWER NORTH BUT HIGHER SNOW RATIOS EXPECTED)...WE WILL
CERTAINLY CONTINUE OUR WINTER STORM STORM WATCH FOR ALL AREAS.
CONFIDENCE IS STILL NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO GO TO WARNING (THE STORM
BEING OVER 2000 MILES AWAY). USING MOSTLY THE QPF FROM THE GFS
(CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER MODELS) AND A SNOW RATIO UP TO 15:1
NORTH...CLOSER TO 10:1 SOUTH...WE STILL GET 5-10 INCHES TOTAL NORTH
OF ALBANY...6-12 LOCALLY...AND 8-16 INCHES TO THE SOUTH WITH THE
HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVER THE CATSKILLS AND LITCHFIELD
HILLS.

Unless something comes up I will be there, just not sure what time.
