Weather for April 5-7 (and preceeding week)?

[ts01]

Thanks rivercoil. I'd be interested in any reports you or others can report, even just Saturday - cause it looks like the damage will be done by then.

I don't think you need to worry about damage being done. So long as it corns up, there is a sensational amount of snow and it is not going to melt in a week. Last Sunday there still was not a bare spot on the mountain any where.

Thanks. I guess I've got residual Catskills / Berkshires paranoia - down here rain at this time of year plus 40's - 50's can really destroy things, especially if it's all natural snow (e.g., Plattekill gets demolished easily). I'll think of something else to worry about (actually I'm thrilled at the prospect of even ONE DAY at MRG, I hope they're open Monday).

It's looking like it will be slightly colder than originally forecast for Western Maine with 5" possible above 1,000' on friday. Sugarloaf and Saddleback could do well.

Got big flakes dropping here in southern NH right now.

Riv- you are patient, you have had to say this same thing no less than 3 times in the same thread! The MRV conditions are very good for this time of year! Do some research on SkiMRV. It is snowing-really snowing- here now.....

Anyone have ideas about Saturday 4/5 (tomorrow) in the Catskills? Rain event? Snow event? Belleayre is reporting 7 bump trails on their conditions report and me and gf want to hit that, but she will freak out if its pouring rain while we ski...

Anyone have any info on what the weather is doing in southern and central VT today. Radar looks like it is dumping in Northern VT and 'Dacks, did the more southern areas get any snow?

It has been snowing here (MRV) since 8am. It turned to sleet for about 10 mins, then right back to snow.

I doubt it is "dumping" any where but certainly more snow than previously expected. The radar shows blue over Plymouth but it changed over to rain a few hours ago... the radar is not to be trusted currently, IMO.

heading out now. sugarbush here i come.

It's snowing hard at the base of Sugarloaf right now according to what I can see on the live webcam, and the website says 2-3" new as of 2:45pm

We are taking a break from skiing this weekend.

 

[loafer89]

Saddleback reports 4-6" of new at 4:18pm with snow still falling.

 

[reefer]

Sugarloaf 7"

Just got back from the Loaf! 3-4" as I skied Friday afternoon, 7" total Saturday morning and they opened pretty much everything!. Trip report and pictures in the morning. All snow from noon til about 8:00 Fiday night!

That figures

I was thinking of going to 'loaf cuz I thought they'd get better snow than VT or NY. Opted for Whiteface for the cheap deal. Argh!!!!!!

Welcome to AlpineZone Moe...another PASR

 

[mondeo]

Ok, what the hell happened in VT? All week, weather says Saturday rain, Sunday sun. So all week, I plan for Sunday. And then the days just decided to swap, I guess. Not cool, Weather. Not cool. And I thought you were my friend.

The Sunday sun showed up Monday - spectacular day today at MRG. Rivercoil if you're still following this thread thanks for info, it was as good (or better) than expected. Just great conditions today, bright blue skis and it warmed up by mid morning the snow was soft and fun. Don't know how to explain the sunburn tomorrow at work though that's a good problem too have.
