Winter Pattern Has Arrived - Will it Bring Snow?

[Tin]

Unlike the rest of New England RI cannot deal with snow. We will be shut down until Friday.

Big fan of this local met, and he put this out tonight going with the biggest amounts I've seen yet.

I dont post his stuff normally because the only relevant ski areas he covers are all in the Poconos, and as we all know it practically never snows there.

00z NAM just exploded the snow totals for tomorrow, which would be really exciting if not for the fact it's the NAM.

Not really. I thought it cut back.

Cut back? At 18:1 it would be about 16" to 18" for huge parts of Jersey if it verified (about 10" for where I am). That's 2 feet if the 20:1 some are predicting comes true.

Last SREF seems like a decent hit for some resorts.

hope that pans out or even goes further north in Maine. At this point, my snow wishes are 100% centered around Sugarloaf getting as much snow as possible over the next two weeks.

Gotcha; this storm is all about IMBY for me. Doesnt look like a major deal for most of ski country, but it will help a bit. Every 4" or 6" here and there helps!

Sadly, like the NAM, the SREF is often juiced too much, but hey, ya never know. It's pretty to look at that's for sure.

been following former local met, Epstein's blog. Looking for school cancellations, I remember his predictions has always been on the conservative side. Note his blog has twitter feeds of other local met.

Storms a bit east for my liking but hey 2-6 in the Pocono's will definitely be welcomed. With the cold the skiing is good right now anyways. (very quick and good recovery from the thaw). Could do with much less here in NNJ.

NWS on the snow:liquid ratio. Big fluff factor. That and high winds means a lot of windswept and tree skiing down on the cape

USED A 16 TO 1 RATIO FOR TEMPERATURES AT 22F OR HIGHER WITH AN 18
TO 1 RATIO FOR TEMPS BELOW


Guess I'm skiing at Yawgoo!

NWS went with a blend of GFS and ECMWF

Pocos should rock. I think the Mt. Wash. Valley (NH) may benefit too.

Looks like Piscataway is in the bullseye. Perhaps this means I will scope out the mountain biking trails through the ecological preserve near my work for some sweet, sweet, gladed riding.

 

[BenedictGomez]

Looking at the radar, this thing is already decently farther north than it's "supposed" to be.

Very good news for my area.

Could it possibly be that for once the Poconos will not get screwed? I'm thinking this might be more like 6" to 8" for the Pokes rather than the 2" to 4" called for.

Wasted snow. All the snow maps are backwards.
