Winter Forecast 2015-2016

[from_the_NEK]

Well, most of the rain is going to the west of the NYS Thruway... 3 inches of rain over there while the rest of ski country "escapes" with 1-2 inches of rain.

At least we don't have enough snow on the ground that would melt and cause significant flooding.

How far north is this thing going to go? I am driving to Tremblant Minimum, North Pole it I have to.

As of today....they're talking about a mix for us in Bangor so I think it'll be all snow up there....just my $.01 guess but....

We got our first Eastward tick on the 00z GFS! Yea with me guys! Yea! Puts Southern VT and the Catskills back into play! It's a start! See y'all tomorrow morning!

For a kayaking competition?

Verbatim to 00z GFS run, the only ski area sparred the wrath is Whiteface.

At this point, I'd rather have a kick west and take my survivable lumps, than roll the dice risking "not enough" of an eastern shift and flirt with potentially disastrous consequences. That's a "Do you feel lucky punk?" sortof a thing.

Hide the women and children.

On the bright side..... 00z Canuck shifts way back east again.

For reference sake, this is the WORST of the time panels. Sure, absolutely terrible for Maine, bad for NH, but everyone else is sparred destruction. I'd take this and run.

I'd hit this... Not for here but for Northern Vermont and especially the Daks.

Well if you're gonna' get all greedy and go Kuchera on us, you might as well go with the GFS. Three feet by Whiteface. That's about the only way Lookout Mountain's going to open.

At this point it's a matter of playing to win or playing not to lose. Hope for shift west, lighter rain, dryslot etc. Equals not losing. I hope for a shift east, watch the pouring rain out my window but man it just might be ripping at the top of Madonna.... Maybe just maybe we get a win for once this winter. I'll take my hope and run with it. If it fails so be it, spring training starts soon.

Canuck came east. Catskills and southern VT still very much on the edge though.

 

[catsup948]

Euro came east a little. The GFS came east and then went back west from 00z to 6z.

We need a mod to lock this thread and throw it away. It's sucked ass all year.

 

[Kleetus]

If this pans out the way it's looking have a very good excuse to go to WF for the first time in a few years now that I'm back within striking distance.

 

[Rowsdower]

Wanting to get to Vermont or the Adirondacks. Need to make a decision soon. Looking like Gore will be in the clear? Would they have anything worth while open? I know its been a brutal year for them.

 

[skibumski]

Long range pattern looking tasty for the end of the month...

 

[soulglo]

what a bust

Not to be any more doom and gloom than is necessary, but this better not be correct.

Meh.

At this point I think its best to just look towards next year. El Nino is finally dying and the silver lining is that next year pretty much has to be better, even if only through regression towards the mean.

Maybe another St Patrick's day where it is almost 80?
