BS fatigue?

Both last winter and this winter, weather predicting with these winter storms has taken a pretty large credibility hit. I think people are becoming fatigued with "We're getting 8 to 12" and the ensuing reality being "we got 0 to 4".

The computer models were terrible last year, and are possibly going to perform worse this year. Saturday night was a great example. I'll still look and run the models etc.... but I do so with a healthy bit of skepticism.

Yes, and no. This past weekend's storm wasn't a total bust. Central NH ended up with a solid 8-10", it just was later and not as widespread as originally thought.

I didn't go out this weekend. Got my fix on Thursday. Looking like some interesting weather coming up this week. Carving out Thursday or Friday right now. Won't know until it's later on Tuesday, but right now my sense tells me it will be "good". 'nuff said.

Still a bust vs. expected snowfall, even for that area.

Hot off the press is the Euro's projection for the upcoming snowfall though Thursday morning.

Or, as I now like to call it, "Your future maximum disappointment versus expectations map".

I hope it is not supposed to snow at any of the hills, and then maybe a surprise snow events happen, Scotty translation is I think I see were it actually snows and then see about skiing it.

It kinda worked out with our expectations for around/just above half a foot for southern VT/NH/ME areas from Wed (half a foot or less for areas north/west). I actually tweaked things down slightly on Saturday but not much. Aside from a few outliers, a lot of areas performed within our expectations.

OK guys. If you could pick one day and one place to go this week where would it be? Need some guidance. I might take a sick day

Over a foot of snow tonight in south NH and that area, so I would think areas over where it snows tonight.Gore on Wednesday you can get a cheap lift tickets with coke products.

Anywhere from the Whites to ME--good snow should get funneled in from the southeast nicely--Attitash/Wildcat to Sunday River would be good. The bulk of snow falls Wed but then decent pockets of residual snow continue through Thurs and Fri for these areas too. Take your pick and have fun!

I am thinking Wed fopr Cannon but winds could be an issue. So Thurs is the fall back day.

What about Cannon? When we the snow start and end there?
