Just so we're talking about the same thing--yeah, I can see a few inches for ME areas tonight/Sat with this system, then some mixing. Events next week look way to warm for snow.

Ok, that's it--heading out for slope time. See ya!

Ah, ok. In terms of no snowfall, it's bad. But a warm spike through midweek (50's to 60's??)--then a weak round of rain showers--more seasonable into the weekend then back and forth temp swings mainly above normal the following week probably.

Thanks Winn. Could be worse, I guess. Hope warm spike only lasts a couple of days and weekend is seasonable. That would be OK. Fingers crossed.

I'm going to watch the temps, not into frozen crud , but if its a true spring ski day I'll venture out. My agenda though..is to save some money for another trip to SLC the last week of march. If I have to sacrifice some days here..so be it...

Just heard from Bestskiweather.com that significant snow is expected later next week in NNE. This would set us up to ski/ride through April. Thank you Ullr. :spread:

If Roemer finds out you're reposting his forecasts, we will hear about your car being found by the side of the road but no signs of the driver......He's dangerous like that.

Thanks for the tip. Did I say Roemer? Must have been a typo. It wasnt BSW. It was some other obscure weather site. Yeah. Not those guys.

:lol: I'm obviously kidding. I paid for his service a few years ago and remember them being nazi's about their uber secret forecasts. not sure if that is still the case but i found it incredibly obnoxious.

They're calling that already for "later next week"? Lets hope so, but I sure wouldn't hold my breath on a forecast made that far out.

He's been the first to call every storm right so far this year. I trust him. Waiting to see what days I am canceling next week. Long range is his thing.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I already have plans to go up north that weekend.

Best case scenario is that it snows the following Mon/Tues, but more likely is a bust.

What an optimistic bunch. All I'm trying to do is report that I heard from a professional met that its going to snow next week. What do your plans have to do with bursting my bubble?

It was a joke about jinxing things. Kind of like how people say the best way to make it rain is to get your car washed.

If you look at the GFS for about a week from now, it does have a ton of precipitation in the area. I just dunno how he gets that specific calling for a snowstorm given how far out that is since the temps could be too warm or the thing may not even materialize given it's over 150 hours out, etc... Seems kindof ballsy, but God bless him if it happens. :fangun::fangun::fangun:

From what I understand, the models are relatively decent at predicting precipitation. It's temp that they have the most trouble with.
