Three shots at some decent snow in the northeast next week. Things can change as the systems are still way out in the forecast models but keep it on the radar for sure! :snow::snow::snow:

Unfortunately the scale is graduated in quarters of inches instead of feet. Word = "dusting" of snow..if not simply the infamous mix(rain & snow).

At this point, a few small, all snow events would be helpful.

What a difference a day can make. Getting some agreement.

That's the gradation for rain. You'd have to apply a multiplier to get your snow accumulations, probably somewhere around 10:1.

Dear Lord,
I don't ask for much. I don't even believe you really exist. But please, please, PLEASE make it dump snow on northern New England.

Amen.

There are no atheists during crappy ski/snowboard seasons.

Facebook is teasing me by popping up a "memory" photo of a ton of snow from 5 years ago.

One snowstorm is not going to cut it. This photograph was taken today north of Littleton, New Hampshire.

4-8 inches tonight in the flatlands near Boston according to the local news. WTF? May have to drive south and make a few turns at Blue Hills tomorrow night. So sad.

A minute from the Alta exit off the I-15!
By the end of next week every region in the NE (From the Poconos to eastern Canada) should pick up 6in-12in give or take. Meanwhile, CO, UT, Tahoe, Jackson, Taos, Big Sky, etc all go dry. Sustained cold will put snowmakers out in full force. I still believe we'll see a turnaround, and soon.

As much as hate to say it, the days of snowmaking being in full force are very numbered.

I think that most everyone will go at max capacity next week, ahead of Pres Week and NH school vacation week after that to get some serious resurfacing done and try and get some enthusiasm ahead of a more crucial than ever this season holiday period.

How many areas then transition from resurfacing directly into putting down some decent base for late(r) season operations will be interesting to see....
