Winter Pattern Has Arrived - Will it Bring Snow?

[Boston Bulldog]

But it's not a KU. I doubt it anyway, unless it maybe sneaks in at the lowest rung.

Not quite a KU, but still a solid coastal storm.

Bald Hill in long Island probably getting lots of white stuff today.

I'm ten min from there..Wish they still had a rope tow...LOL

Damn this sucks. Puking blower powder in Westchester and nothing doing up North. About as useful as the proverbial tits on a bull.

From what I can see it doesn't look like it will be worth braving the cold/wind to go up to the Poconos tomorrow, esp if my daughter will have class. We are planning to head there next Wednesday and the cold weather pattern is supposed to continue so hopefully they will add snow in the form of manmade and it looks like there's another storm in the mix for Saturday. I hope it doesn't snow HERE and screw me up since I had to move all my work from today/tomorrow to Sunday so that I can ski next Wednesday!

I guess after I shovel out I'll put the snowshoes on and enjoy what I can around here seeing that ski country didn't get much action from this one. Hopefully that changes soon. At least it's not raining.

And my xc ski is still stuck in the city...

+1 Well put and totally agree!

They only canceled class at 3pm, and by then the roads were really getting bad. Glad she made it back OK. Right now they're calling for classes to start at 10am. I don't have to teach until Thursday night though, so I should get the day tomorrow off besides popping into lab quick to check up on some things. Looking at Camelback if the roads permit.

I checked the weather up there. If they get 5" it will be a lot. 3" seems to be what they are calling for. Plus single digit/low teens and 20-30 mph winds. Ouch. I will check but since I got next wed off I might just go with that. It would be different if they got more snow and less bitter cold/wind. And my checking acct hasn't recovered from my Killington trip yet either.

My daughter has a 12 noon class. She made it back Ok but was peeved at being stuck on a bus that barely moved for over an hour. I think this storm came in earlier and stronger than forecast. I was planning on working all day and only canceled tomorrow. By noon I changed my mind. Glad I did. Better safe then sorry. The traffic coming home was nuts! Even for around here.

Yup, I've got 7" of some of the lightest powder this side or Utah so far.

Spent 15 minutes shoveling and when I returned there was a fresh 1/3 inch where I started.

It's beautiful, isn't it? Usually we get heavy, wet slushy stuff that ices over or turns to rain. Wish there was a mountain nearby to enjoy it on.

This storm has such a sharp cut off. Heavy heavy snow from new york right up to Boston. Blue Hill is getting crushed!

If this keeps up overnight we will have 18" at my house by mid morning.

Well, my daughter is having a blast! I think I will take her to the park nearby that has a bunny hill. :lol:

 

[BenedictGomez]

I'm thinking we have 11" here, but it may well be a bit more.

 

[Tin]

A conservative 8" at my house right now and still coming down. They said heavy snow until 3-4am but the radar doesn't support that right now. Snowbands are crazy, 10 minutes down the road they have 4", 10 minutes up the road they have 11". Still say someone in RI will have between 16-18".

Well after this southern screamer, its time to turn our attention to Saturday. Looks like 2-4 for the ski areas right now, maybe more over Northern New England.

ETA: Monday also looks interesting for us skiers as well.

We used to have individual storm threads which I liked...should one be created for this weekend?

definitely, go for it.

That other thread I made was mostly propaganda to get everyone out of their funk, I think it worked to some extent. And hey, things look great as far as I can see.

Poconos got absolutely screwed as usual. Everyone around here got at least 9" or 10", but they're reporting:

Blue Mountain reporting 4"
Shawnee reporting 3"
Camelback (the king of ski mountain liers in this region) just isnt saying anything. "Hey, Joe? I got an idea, let them THINK we got lots of snow!"

Could it be that they are just reporting the Tuesday snow, but not the Tuesday night yet?

Looks like most of the Poconos picked up 3-6. Allentown is reporting 6 inches so that sounds about right. I'll take 3-6 over nothing though. Doesn't look like any mountain ranges further north really benefited. Place to be would be Bear Creek. Looks like they picked up almost a foot of powder.
