Winter Forecast 2015-2016

[BenedictGomez]

this season not just a disappointment, but a frightening harbinger of things to come. In short, a world without skiing, except for maybe the uber rich who can afford lift tickets at the last remaining resorts.

Here's some stoke from February 2010 to talk the "jumpers" off the bridge. http://forums.alpinezone.com/showthread.php/73030-Plattekill-02-26-2010

If I recall, prior to this storm, the Catskills had been having a rather lackluster snow year, amazing how 70" in 3 days can transform a ski season.

Whatever man! Dramatic flourish aside, that seems to be where things are headed.

One good week can erase all the bad memories and make the 2nd half solid

Partially agree.

ONE good week is not remotely enough to salvage this season. One good week can START to make the 2nd half solid. We need a full 180 right now and it had to SUSTAIN for at least a month (probably more) to keep this year out of the bad record books.

I guess that means every other year will be outstanding like last year.

Fixed it for you.

This will be a waste of a storm...

I am convinced we are not having a season this year. Longer term showing it getting warmer. Next weeks "Cold" is trending weaker. Then looking like it may warm up pretty good again. Then its March. The fat lady is already warming up.

If we are luck we may get a good week or two, but I am convinced this season is shot.

Agreed. The models are not showing anything to get excited about. It is going to take a 16-20 inch storm to get things going again on natural terrain in a lot of places. I just don't see it happening.
Hopefully something comes out of nowhere and dumps on us. But I'm not holding my breath.

Maybe we should rethink our passes for next season. Wonder how much blue hills is for a season pass ?? And if they have a no pee policy behind the ski patrol shack...... Do they even have a shack ??

You're problems are solved. I think the weather observation center has a bathroom.

Looks like next weeks storm might be falling apart a bit and becoming less likely.

Too early to say that.

My take on these things is I dont care precisely where the models put the snow 4 days out, I'm just happy to see it snowing in a big chunk of the region. Theres's not enough data digested yet, could be anything from snow on the fish to a big northeast and/or New England hit. Gotta wait. Even Vermont isnt out of the picture yet, IMO, as most storms this season have "real life" been significantly west of model depiction.

Good, because I rely upon your expertise a heck of a lot more than I rely upon limited knowledge.
