The local mets are hinting at a big storm next Sunday/Monday. A million years away, but it will be fun to speculate... :)

I was surprised to hear that on the news this AM. This is going to be interesting for sure. I'm curious about the timing as we'll be skiing on Sunday.

Nice, bring it on. I just scored Blizzak LM 25s for the Mazda3.

I just got Toyo Garit KX... wonder if they'll last more then 4 years like the Garit HT i had before on the other Mazda3... But yeah, ready for a snowstorm! It was coming down hard yesterday at Jay... Wonder if we'll get hit hard next weekend!

Why wait til then? Head south... WVA is getting hammered. 6" on the ground at 2000' as of 7 pm Monday, 10" predicted at the lower elevations and more than a foot on high in Canaan Valley by Tuesday am, with more thru the week. Course, you;ll have to earn your turns...

I watched the local weather this AM...no mention of the storm. Sunday is now going to be sunny? Well, at least here in CT. Who knows; it's only Tuesday.

All going to depend on how much(if at all) the Jet Stream retrogresses back towards the East Coast. Kind of a catch 22 though. Right now with the Jet Stream soon be be a few hundred miles off the East Coast, it keeps the storms away :( but allows for the cold air to remain :) If the Jet Strem pulls back(or migrates North in the East Coast dip a bit) it will allow for the storms to track into a more favorable location for hitting New England :) BUT it will also open the door for warmer air to enter into the mix too :(

Personally, I think that a maintenance of the cold air across the region for a while with continued snowmaking is a better option right now than a 1 hit storm with a likely warm up soon after.

If the cold is there, the storms will eventually pass through anyway. It's like last year, where we didn't really get a huge storm, but conditions were always great because anything that came through came as snow. In 06/07, we had some monsters, but we also had some ugly warm-ups with rain.

The National Weather Service is bumping up the forecasts for Monday/Tuesday through VT and NH. The models are showing a pretty decent storm forming as well. We're just gonna have to figure out a way to keep that magical 0c like a little farther south....

If it snows more than two feet ANYWHERE in the northeast I'm there, and I'm not coming back till its all tracked out! :snow:
I'd be thrilled with 12" now....

12 inches is sometimes better than 24 inches..because the mellower pitches are skiable as well...I skied Nipple deep snow in Montana..and while fun..it's hard to see(Whiteroom) and you get stuck on anything less than steep

and i hope this guy is right...." I continue to maintain that winter is early, and that it will be wetter with heavy precipitation of snow, gusty, cold northwestern winds, blizzards, numerous Alberta clippers, along with southern storms sweeping north and deep low pressure systems dumping large amounts of snow and ice on trees, weighing them down and causing electrical outages. People in Quebec, and New England should be prepared for what is coming by November 30-December 1,2,3, and the after-effects of this storm"
