This forecast got updated. Its looking like above average snowfall for all of the northeast. In the video the guy says there will be more light and fluffy snow(aka powder) than wet heavy snow that we had last year

i don't usually put faith in these forecasts but will gladly accept colder and snowier than last year.

 

[riverc0il]

Snowier and colder than last year = average.

At least for Northern New England.

It says snowier (about 5-15" above average) and colder than average, but as gmcunni said you can't really trust these forecasts

 

[gmcunni]

It says snowier and colder than average, not snowier and colder than last year, but as gmcunni said you can't really trust these forecasts

the new link you posted says "than last year"

bottom line - more snow = more better, less snow = less better. rain = sucks

Cartoon maps are sweet. :roll:

Either way, based on those maps, they seem to be thinking that we're in for a bunch of Alberta Clipper type storms, some of which *could* explode once they hit the waters of the Atlantic and bring big snows, and some of which will just scoot quickly off the coast and not produce much.

Also based on that map, they're thinking that the Gulf of Mexico and the classical Nor'easter won't be in play too much as the primary storm track

The Alberta Clipper track can produce if the reach the waters of the Atlantic, although if they turn into a "Great Lakes Cutter", then we're on the warm side of the storm

Snow = f (beer * 2)

Ah, yes. Weather forecasting by MS Paint.

But they don't seem to be able to keep the coloring within the lines. Musta flunked kindergarten.

It is so nice to have daytime high temps 20 degrees cooler than a week ago. 20 down, 40 to go...

Well that was entertaining. Mid Atlantic to have a dicy winter with wild temp swings producing snow, rain, ice. Northernmost New England, from Burlington Vt to Caribou ME
will see all snow. Long term consensus is that we could have a snowy start in December. So get your holiday shopping done now. :-? Gotta love LTFs.

Just saw a snippet of Joe Bastardi's updated winter forecast. Say what you want about him but give him credit for last years forecast cause he nailed it. Anyway according to what I saw (not the whole thing) it looks like he is predicting a decent winter for I-80 north. (Pocono's north). Maybe some ice but thats par for the course. Just the kind of thing this northeastern skier wants to hear. Lets hope he's correct.

The full report came out today. The map looks like the dividing line will be closer to the Mass Pike.

That map is fine with me. I like seeing it snow the most in Northern New England. Even though its in the "battle zone" the Pocono's (home area) should be just fine because its snowmaking dependent anyway. Just give us some shots of cold air and we'll be fine. The 2 areas that caught my eye and brought a smile to my face were Northern Vermont and Utah which are my planned travel destinations this year.

That's fine with me. My wife already asked me to put the snow tires on. Kinda like a reverse groundhog day...
