The Official 12/7 - 12/8 Storm discussion Thread

[Greg]

Looks like a clipper rolling through tonight with some lake enhanced snow. Through tomorrow, the NWS is calling for 6-11" for Jay, 3-8" for Sugarbush, and around 2-5" for Killington. Interestingly, it looks like the southern Greens and Berkshires may do pretty well out of this too with 3-5" for Mount Snow and Jiminy. Unfortunately, Hunter is only gonna get a couple. If Jiminy was open tomorrow, I might have opted to head there instead.

I wouldn't count out the catskills just yet. Very rarely does the NWS get the snowfall for the catskills right when it's coming from lake effect enhanced snows.
While hunter might just get a little bit I'd wouldn't be shocked if Plattekill and Belleayre got as much as the berkshires.

As for the other numbers- they just seem too high. I wouldn't expect to see much more than 4 inches anywhere.
(not that I woun't take 4 inches right now)

I cannot believe the fluctuations with this damn weather. If it would just stay below 40, I'd be happy. Woke up this morning at 3:30 and it was 45 degrees. DAMMIT! :angry:

Nice! We'll certainly have the lowdown on Huntah too.

The precip in the Cats was rain this morning. Very light, but certainly not frozen.

That Killington Link you posted is for 1300', somewhere around the skyeship base.

This link for 3100', somewhere around the mixing bowl, is calling for 4-9'' between today and tomorrow.

nice. my friends and i are heading up to killington friday after work to ski sat and sun. eventhough we are a day late it should still be better than thanksgiving weekend when the highs were in the 50s.

 

[dDigitalPimp]

just started snowing for the first time in NEPA aside from a stray flurry this season. we are only supposed to get between 1 and 2 inches but its still nice to see it snowing again.

 

[TwinTips21]

Snowing currently at killington and okemo. (looked at the live cams) Any other OBs?

 

[kingdom-tele]

change over from drizzle and freezing rain at 2:00, snowing pretty good right now, forecast now for 5 inches in the valley, can only get better with elevation

 

[Greg]
