The Official 12/10 - 12/12 Storm Discussion Thread

[from_the_NEK]

GFS looks like it has a storm moving up the coast for 12/12. For once this year it doesn't look like a GLC.

That's a week away...I want to see some snow though..

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Snow is accumulating at a rate of about 1/4 of an inch per hour in my hood..Almost an inch of snow is on the ground. This snow is halfway between Sierra Cement and Light and dry powder..I'll call it slightly fluffy medium density snow..it will mix into the manmade base well..winds are increasing out of the northwest..of course the most snow will fall at the higher elevations due to orographic lift and cooler temperatures..The roads are getting greasy..be careful out there..I'm allowing double as much time to get to Blue tomorrow because there are going to be alot of Yahoos on the road tomorrow..

A pattern change is coming to New England roughly around December 15th. The west is forecast to turn cold and stormy with a ridge and much warmer weather here.

It looks like we might have some GLC storms and rain until the New Year.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

It looks like more snow and cold snowmaking weather this week before and after the quick one day thaw. I'm glad the west is forecast to get some snow..areas out there are hurting..I want all the resorts east and west to have a good Holiday since that week accounts for such a large percentage of ticket sales.

Anyone have any additional thoughts on this? Accuweather (yeah, I know) has some thoughts that this will turn out to be a classic northeast snowstorm.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I'm guessing alot of spots could see at least a half of foot of snow..hopefully those spots are in ski country..

 

[Moe Ghoul]

We'll be headin north next week, so it'll definitely snow. The fix is in.

That's where we're leaning apparently. Maybe a more southern event.

At this point, I'm happy to take a southern event, rather than the uhm, northern events we've been getting. We often do very well in those anyway, especially at the higher elevations, where the snow is light, but ongoing for some time after the storm has passed.

Might need one of these

to help pull the heavy bands closer to shore.

About the only thing certain about Northeast Weather system tracks these days are their uncertainty

 

[Greg]

I look forward to skiing powder bumps at [thread="43688"]Sundown on Friday[/thread]. Believe it.

 

[The Sneak]

Hoping we know what's gonna happen by wednesday afternoon so I can make sure I get friday off.

Thinking Sunapee or okemo since my Wa pass would get me a discount at either and both are southern/inland.

Please ullr bring us some POW

 

[Greg]

The storm track has been trending west. Which is not good for SNE, but better for NNE.

It's no wonder there hasn't been a good dump! You need to sacrifice a virgin in a pyre to Ullr. None of this praying stuff That's the problem here!

 

[loafer89]

It's looking like we could get alot of freezing rain in Northern Connecticut which would really suck. I would rather it be all rain.
