That's a diffferent story. I watch the guys give stock predictions on tv. It's 'fun' to watch. But I don't put my money into it!

Good not to put money on what those people say their just paid to say that I believe. Someone close to me has lost way to much money on the stock market over the doing day trading.

Ill be around the mount snow area that weekend. Man I hope it owns out.

Ditto!....but exchange Big Squaw with Mount Snow...LOL. Let's hope....

 

[bigbog]

Send the snow north. I need to fly out to Providence Tuesday for Utah.

THE place to be......

 

[BenedictGomez]

Yes please.

Five days out is about when I start to take this crap seriously, so I figured I'd post this. The daytime nature of the timing isnt optimal given it's March (sun), but there's just so much kaboom here that snow would definitely accumulate in a big way.

Help me read that, because the way I see it, it's forecasting 20-40 mm of precipitation, which would barely cover the ground.

This is showing h2o, not snowfall.

As a general back-of-the-envelope rule, you take a 10:1 ratio for snow to water with these. It could be less/more depending on temps etc.... So for an example I'll use Plattekill (because it rules), for that ski area this 12 hour panel is verbatim showing roughly 6 inches of snowfall. To sum the event's total snowfall, you then take the panel(s) preceding and/or following this panel (if applicable).

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, 1.5" of liquid precip would be impressive.

Snow for platty before this Sunday the 17? Come on please say yes.

I'll have to play with those. Dunno if it's as good as running the models yourself, but it sure is awfully pretty/fancy to look at!

Dreaming of a White Easter? ECMWF says coldest Easter since at least 07 for US.

Peter Cottontail wiped out the ground hog

<----- Still dreaming of a White Easter. I'll be at Jay Peak post-Easter.

Getting a little worried about the temperature during the Monday/Tuesday storm next week. Places like Whiteface and n.VT look okay, but I'm a bit fearful for the Cats; there's not much margin for error if model's predicted temps are correct.

Ya I kind of had a feeling last weekend might have been the last at my Roxbury hill for some times.

BG, what's the verdict?

 

[billski]

Looks to me that the highest verticals are going to win out of this one. Head north!

You going to the Bush next weekend? How much snow you think for high elevations?

 

[ScottySkis]

Some A zoners are going to have powder days today and tomorrow.:
