I made lemonade today and went trout fishing. Did well (ridiculously so)
But I'm gonna spit blood if one more person at work remarks how nice the weather is...

The only good news I see in all this is that the snowmaking ponds should be topped off.:-(

Hey according to not so accurate Accuweather, Stratton, Me (Sugarloaf, Saddleback) is to get 13 inches of snow. You can always hope...:lol:

All the natives are restless.
Your business owners, your ski area managers, restauranteurs, hired seasonal help promised certain start dates for work, all want this season to take off. Sooner rather than later. Please.
where is the glass half full?
Our heating fuel bills for November will be a huge blessing. I hope we can remember that in April.

I took advantage of the warm weather and got the xmas lights up in the trees and shrubs. No not lit. Not until next week. I could not run the extentsion cords until the elves clean up the leaves.

I can think of one place that has been open daily for skiing and riding for a couple weeks thus far.

I was in the airport last Monday. There was a little kid staring out the window, then bursts out loudly singing, "Rain rain, go away come again another day!" It stirred a pretty good laugh out of the crowd as we waited for our delayed flights.

Check out the NEK weather site. Pretty good analysis of the storm on the forecast discussion link and it seems like we have a shot of getting some decent snow at the higher resorts. Keep em crossed, we need it because the next week looks pretty poor.

A few morning updates...
A few updates - Morning analysis is showing the strong ridge of high pressure is going to pancake and hang in there a little longer than initially expected. European model continues to agree with the GFS remarkably well and has the low deepening quite impressively by midday Wednesday. Explosive development of the low will allow the system to draw more cold air from the north and keep snow going, especially above 2500 feet. Below 2500 feet, I'm still thinking it's a coin toss - some areas may see 1-3" of snow, while others may see more of a mix to plain cold rain. For you skier and riders I know your concerned only with the white stuff. This will be no powder machine - but a great storm to put down a nice base layer of heavy wet snow, which we never got last year. Temperatures above 2500-3000 feet will support all snow and given the QPF estimates, that could translate to 6-12" along the spine of the Green's up to Stowe. As for Jay, I mentioned this yesterday - they have the advantage of being furthest to the north, benefiting from that northwesterly fetch. Jay Peak could make out pretty damn well with 8 to upwards of 18" of snow -especially as the storm wraps up and backside up-slope flow fires up the "Jay Cloud". That's the way it's looking this morning - but I'll say it again, this forecast is teetering on a bust. Sleet and/or plain rain mixing in or a more southerly track will drastically reduce snowfall accumulations - if we were in the middle of December it would be a no brain er 6-12". Either way - Wednesday should be a wild weather day for most of New England. Enjoy It!

We need a pattern busting storm to bring down the cold.
I'm afraid I am seeing what winter will be like in central pa.

I've never seen this actually work but here's maybe a better look at it. This is taken from a screen capture of the NAM model on NOAA.
