The 01/22 - 01/23 Storm thread (Could a snowstorm actully hit the Poconos?)

[BenedictGomez]

Mappage predictions, because we all love those....

 

[BenedictGomez]

NAM model still showing a solution off by literally hundreds of miles. When the NAM busts hard on this storm, it's going to be a MAJOR embarrassment that the US governments SHORT RANGE model was beaten by literally every global LONG RANGE model, on a storm that's < 12 hours from our doorstep. [/rant off]

More MAPPAGE!!!!!!! Cant wait for the flakes tonight!

 

[Not Sure]

Regardless I still think Blue will be the best bet.

Blue , Sunday , First real snow , LINES

 

[BenedictGomez]

12z GFS goes NORTH!!!!!!

To my eye, that looks like 8" to 10" for Blue Mountain, but the huge snow totals are knocking on the door and only require another 20 mile shift.

Versus GFS ensembles that just finished. OP is a juicy outlier, but ensembles still about 7" to 9" for Blue Mountain.

Final Call from Bastardi's kid

It keeps shifting farther north! Keep it coming!

Looks like Yawgoo might get a decent day out of this after all...
Any more and you couldn't ski there anyway (too flat).

I am currently at Canaan Valley Lodge, WV. They got about 4" last night. Calling for 4-8' tomorrow afternoon and 11-17" more Fri night into Saturday. I'll post some photos when it gets good. I'm scheduled to head home to DC area on Sunday afternoon unless the roads are closed. Bring it on, just don't kill the power lines to the chair lifts!

i'LL start separate thread later, but here's some quick photos and info from this AM in WV, got to get back to the hill now. Dumping underway:

Blue Hill and Yawgoo mauler. Going to keep coming north.

 

[Rowsdower]

Who is at Blue Mountain Sunday?

 

[BenedictGomez]

Euro makes another slight northward move!

All we need is another 20 miles north and the Poconos gets 12" for sure.

MOAR mappage guesses.

Here is the official report from NH

So Blue Mt will make out it looks like? Have family in NJ and thinking of traveling down in the 4x4 tomorrow to ski Sunday. I'm guessing even with 12" skiing the trees wouldn't be advisable given the base?

Really hoping the NAM and others are on it. NWS Boston is upping advisories and warnings for southern New England...Maybe? Just maybe?

This could be quite the shocker of a system...

There is literally zero base so I wouldn't advise it. Blue does have a small maintained gladed area, so maybe that will be in play.

It maybe my wishful thinking. But it seems the storm is coming up earlier than predicted. (I'm in my office in NYC. Prediction is for snow to start after mid-night. But from the map, it looks like it may start in the next couple of hours!)

Perhaps that's confirming a more northerly trend than the prediction?

Lots of Virga , Not Sowing here in Pa. yet but radar seeing snow. Falling through very dry air and evaporating.
