Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

how much?

A couple inches everywhere south of the poconos. Super wet slop...Blue might squeak out 5-6". Anyway this is a typical now casting event so things could change. We typically don't do well on backend storms.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

ill be at blue wednesday afternoon, hopefully with some fresh snow

Not morning??? If it snows I'm not going to work that day...I even have an appointment that day but will cancel due to bad weather.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Here is the projected storm track...yes it backtracks and does a little dance lol kind of like the hokey pokey.

[RidgeRacer]

no i have been not following the storm, thats why i was asking. i dont follow the weather, i read what you guys have to say about it and then tell people what i heard as if it was my own analysis. i thought blue had a chance at some nice accumlulating snow closer to wedsnesday

At least your honest.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I'm hoping Wednesday morning at blue will be pretty nice.

once again....pa gets screwed out of a good storm.

Not necessarily this storm is incredibly long duration a solid 36-48 hours...don't be surprised with 6-10"+ totals for the poconos.

I'd rather it start as rain and end as snow than vice versa...I also won't be surprised if its raining tomorrow night in the valley and snowing on the summit cam at Blue..

Also the Catskills and green mountains are gonna get dumped on...

 

I believe this storm is named Damon and its gonna be a real Demon...buckle your seatbelts boys and girls looks like this ski season is gonna be a bumpy ride.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

TP4...what updates it's raining...and sorry bro its not raining men so nothing to get excited about.

[indiggio]

Rain is stoke busting...

we'll see....all I know is that i'm not getting any snow down here. 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

It's a cold rain. Won't hurt the base much and will fill up bear creeks pond.

[Johnny Law]

Warm surge moving things even wetter up the coast as far as maine....tremendous storm with unreal amounts of moisture if this was a snow storm wow just wow

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

its barely raining. i thought this storm was gonna be a monsoon of epic proportions, not a mist falling from the ksy

You are a little far west TP4 in freehold NJ there already been 2" of rain...anyway this is a 48 hour storm be patient.

we'll see....all I know is that i'm not getting any snow down here.

[Ski2Live Live2Ski]

That thanksgiving storm was pretty dense up here, but not super wet. There was some poaching on the usual suspects, but overall there was less than expected given our current open terrain is minimal. We lost most of that snow the following week.

 

We got about 5" of wintry mix here on Saturday. That was on top of about 6" throughout the week from upslope snow showers. It was mostly rain at Killington, so we dodged a bullet. It never really changed to rain or freezing rain, but the dense snow/sleet/gropple combo really laid down a nice base. There was a bunch of poaching on Murphy's, Birdland, Domino, and Spillsville, all of which opened up on Sunday with Thin Cover signs. They have minimal undergrowth, so while there were some rocks and grass, they were more than skiable and had no icy base. Really nice on rock skis.

 

I went out today from 11:00-1:30 and it was just starting to snow when I arrived. It's definitely a wet snow, which is great for our off piste stuff, but it isn't very floaty. It's the right type of snow for this time of the season. They are calling for 12"+ on the spine of the Greens all the way from Magic Mountain northward. There was about 2" by the time I left, and it's coming down hard. Could top out over 2' at the top through Friday. I'm leaving Thursday. This should refresh the natural stuff we have open and lay a great base for the woods. I heard they will be opening some more terrain tomorrow on natural snow.

I'm near Doylestown its been a drizzle most of the day with pretty high winds

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

ya'll are really slacking today.  almost no updates in the weather thread.  you should feel disappointed in yourselves

There's nothing to report.

[Johnny Law]

there is always analysis to be had

 

Cold air never really developed and it slid by us. There is some chance for retrograde snow but it looks like a long shot. In 24hrs the GFS went from 10" of snow for LV to 0......

[AtomicSkier]

so little to no snow for blue?

 

and somewhere between a fuckton, and a metric fuckton of rain.

Do you get to start early tomorrow since you are a patroller??

 

Radar looks awesome for sugarbush.

[Ride Delaware ?]

Looks like about 9-10" right now. I'm not patrolling tomorrow. Did a 12 out of 13 stint ending this past Sunday, so I'm doing some free riding days before I leave.

 

This storm is going to be elevation based, so I fully expect it to change to rain at some point tomorrow at the lower elevations while it stays frozen in nature up top. Either way, it's going to be a net gain and very good for the base.

 

Local channel already reporting 14" at K-Mart.
