The Official 2/14 Valentine's Day Storm Discussion Thread

[Jean-Pierre Skier]

I'm officially pulling my head out of the oven and strapping on my boards. Albeit, I did ski 9 days in Utah in January (no freshies there either, unfortunately :angry.

It's time to rip again!!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:

 

[SIKSKIER]

I just posted this on another thread but I'll put it up again.This is for the Nh Whites.
WIND CHILL WARNING IS CANCELLED
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GRAY HAS CANCELLED THE WIND CHILL
WARNING. THE WINTER STORM WARNING IS NOW IN EFFECT FROM 3 AM

SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 18 TO 30 INCHES FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

the latest forecast has it coming right over ct and eastern mass. calling it an inside runner. and the pressure is gonna be way low.

i just hope it doesnt come any further north or west. it sounds like its starting to cut it real close. snowfall across ct, (i know who cares) is being downgraded due to more mixing and a total changeover to ncp.

This is such a frustrating and maddening bummer. What happened to storms coming by way of the 40/70 benchmark

I can't even begin to express how angry and frustrated I am.

 

[Brettski]

And remember Valentines day in on hum....ummm Wednesday this year..inform your significant other

 

[dmc]

Most Locations Will Receive A Foot Or More Of
Snow By Wednesday Night...with Many Areas Likely Getting 18 To
36 Inches...especially From The Greater Capital Region North And
West.

 

[Brettski]

Does that mean Belleayre should get hammered?

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TAUNTON MA
1114 AM EST TUE FEB 13 2007

.UPDATE...
QUICK LOOK AT 12Z NAM/GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW INSIDE RUNNER WITH TRACK
ACRS NARRAGANSETT BAY. EVEN MORE TROUBLING IS TRACK OF 850 MB LOW UP
THRU CT AND CNTRL MA AND 700 LOW WEST OF THAT. THIS WOULD PUT AXIS OF
HEAVIEST SNOWFALL ACRS NORTHERN NEW ENG. WE WILL EVALUATE FULL MODEL
SUITE THIS AFTN BUT WE WILL PROBABLY NEED TO INTRODUCE MORE MIXING
FURTHER N AND WEST AND CUT BACK ON SNOW ACCUM IF TREND CONTINUES.
BEST CHC OF ALL SNOW LOOKS TO BE ACRS OUR FAR NW ZONES FROM BERKS TO
MONADNOCKS.

of course, this is even better for northern vermont but i would love to see the mix not reach s. vermont at all.

Thanks Scott.

In addition to the Catskills getting slammed by this, I'm also psyched that the MRV area seems to be in the track of the heaviest snow. I've got a trip planned to the MRV in about 3 weeks and things are looking very good right now.

Hey Austin, I bought a pair of Hi Rides this weekend... suppose there will be some fresh to skin to left this weekend? How's the frostbite toe?

What do you want to do? I'm in for Sunday through Tuesday. I could probably even stay the night too. As long as it isn't too cold I'll be down for about anything (I don't think it is going to be). Want to do Tucks? :lol:

Seriously though. Cardigan? The snowfields on Firescrew will probably be epic. And it is a pretty short drive.

Any other ideas?

Here's my first obs for NW CT: 24 degrees and the Western sky is very grey. The snow must be approaching but nothing falling yet.

 

[ALLSKIING]

Nothing on Longisland but I can smell it!!

 

[thetrailboss]

Cold and clouding up here in VT. Forecasts are now saying somewhere between 10 and 24 inches. Some spots may get 30 inches. We'll see.

[AdironRider]

Just waiting for those first few flakes here in North Country NY. Weatherman are calling anywhere from 16 to 36 for us. Im hoping its the latter.
