Winter Forecast 2015-2016

At this point, I'll be thrilled if the woods are open the last week of January.

My best woods skiing last year was in March/April at Saddleback.

Heck, at this point I would be happy with normal snowmaking weather!

How true and sad is that all at the same time.

Reminds me of that guy on here who spent a week in northeast Canada skiing and we were all shocked at some of the terrain up there. That's where the jackpot is, with this storm.

The trip report is somewhere in the March of last year reports.

Gotta learn French and move to Gaspé.

Looks like a whole lot of rain Monday night and more Friday. But it seems maybe some good snowmaking weather next weekend.

Talked with the Snowmaking manager at Hunter today and he has never seen a stretch of weather like this. At least next weekend looks hopeful for decent snowmaking.

Here's a good summary...

Good stuff! Gives me hope.

The mountains better make as much as possible next weekend.. It looks to warm up the same or even more than the current stretch.. Pretty unreal

Looks like northern Maine might be the lone recipient of any of the snow Tuesday thru early Wed AM.
Agree...that system flow hasn't changed much....west side of the Rockies getting the goods.

I wouldn't be surprised if you see a few areas that are open now close before the end of this week. Trail counts will be reduced at those remaining. It's going to get ugly out there.

I have not even pulled my skis out of storage yet...and I usually get them tuned ~Columbus wknd.
It was ~65 F at my house Saturday. Went for a bike ride. Bizarre to ride by the beach and stop at the sea wall to feel the warm sun on me in mid freaking December. :mad

Yep I was at the beach Sat. fishing. Still a few striped bass & blues around. I've never seen blues still around this late. Herring fishing on the bay side is good too. At least I got a couple of decent skiing days in the first week of Dec. I was planning to go again later this week for a few days but might change my mind. My skis are in the shop by Killington all tuned & ready to go.

As far as I can see starting Tuesday night, Snow making temps return, marginal at best but higher elevation feasible. Starting this weekend though it looks like a solid march to Christmas. Saturday will be interesting at Cannon since the temps will not go above freezing. Hopefully grooming is up to the task otherwise potential for bullet proof will be high.

 

[skiberg]

Unfortunately I am not seeing anything that suggests snowmaking temps at Cannon will hang around after the upcoming weekend. In fact I have read it will become even warmer then than it is now.

Greens, ADK's, and the Catskill's could see measurable snow Friday and Saturday. That's something.

 

[skibumski]

Unfortunate to make my first post like this but this is starting to get pretty depressing.

25+F over average expected for Christmas on the European model for basically all of the Northeast, 99% confidence 10 days out.
