I've been updating them in the OP after each run.
But here's the 12z GFS snowmap ensemble closeup of the area since you're local.

Look at how TIGHT the gradients are to the Poconos on all 3 updated 12z models.
Could it happen yet again? Could the Poconos get completely screwed?
I mean, even if they end up with 5" or 6", it's almost a consolation prize when areas right near you are getting 15" or 16".

Bear Creek, honorary Pocono mountain for the weekend?

With that much snow, bear creek would be nearly un-skiable with the runout.....

Why not go to places with 15-16" if it's near?

Because they don't have a ski area.

Realize that this is entirely selfish, but if central and northern NE don't get the goods then I hope it shifts more to the south. This system is screwing with plans to get my daughter back to school in RI over this weekend. :-x

I agree. I hope it goes as south as possible at this point.

The storm will be done by Sunday morning. So why wish the worst for those in the mid-Atlantic anyway? They need it just as much as you guys do.

Was there March last season after a good 13" dump the woods were fun but there was a base . It was straight down for a few hours till it got skied in .Was scoping out the woods on Monday , some jagged ugly rocks to hit , Stumps and a 6" waterline that would be lurking .
Have some BC runs in the Poconos that will be in play with 12"

18z GFS not looking healthy for ski country at all. Depicted no significant snow north of I-84.

I still say it comes 60-70 miles further north and puts 8-12" in the Berks.

Good optimism. You were there for the powder day last Feb, right? Hoping to relive that some time this season.

Oh yes. Was an amazing day. Not sure even 12" will open liftline or really help the tree situation.
Hume would slap me but looking at history these big ones trend north within 72 hours or so. Not to mention the baroclinic zone that has messed with models previously making things shift. Watch things go wild in the next 24 hours in terms of forecast changes.

My thoughts too. Those are trees you really don't want to ski in thin cover. At least the ones I was in, anyway.
