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

18z GFS Ensemble comes in verbatim with 10" for Shawnee and Camelscrack, and 12" for Blue Mountain.

FINAL CALL for EPAWA

 

[BenedictGomez]

This is it.... our last model run before nowcasting begins....

18z Canuck Ensemble comes in verbatim with 7" for Shawnee and Camelscrack, and 9" for Blue Mountain.

In prepping for "where to ski on Sunday", what's with this "6 hour lift ticket" BS at Blue Mountain?

Is there anyway around that or a way to buy an 8am - 4pm (i.e. like every other known ski resort on planet earth) lift ticket. If not I may go to Camelback or Shawnee if the difference is only going to be the 2" predicted.

I saw that too. Nonsense.

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?

I sure hope it comes early. I'm working in Westchester and trying to convince the restaurant I work at that Noone will come tomorrow so that I can head north ton it instead of tomorrow afternoon when she calls to tell me they will be closed:banghead:

At least if it starts before we close today I have a chance that she will see the light

 

[Rowsdower]

Toss up between Blue, Camelback, and Jack Frost for me.

 

[vermonter44]

I think I may be heading to jack frost on Sunday

00z NAM just went snowgasmic.

NAM often way overdoes snowfall, but the good news is the track is more north = more snow for all, regardless of eventual totals.

The NAM may be an idiot, but it may have scored a coup with the north trend. Slash those totals by 1/3 and the NAM is sitting pretty.

 

[Bene288]

Will travel bans be an issue down there ?

 

[Not Sure]

Probably not North of Rt 78

Edit 2" so far Sothern Lehigh Co.

Even if you slash it in half it looks like 11" at Shawnee/Camleback & maybe 18" at Blue Mountain.

Rare Pocono powder-day looks to be close to a reality.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Joestradamus just upped his snow forecast. He's onboard with a Pocono Power-day.

 

[BenedictGomez]

EPAWA increases totals too......

This is your storm man! Congrats! You've been pining for a Pocono's jackpot and it will be stunning if Lucy pulls the football somehow.

I'm probably looking at Blue on Sunday. Straight shot up the turnpike. Hopefully Penndot has it cleared off decently by then.
