STILL N OF PIKE

Most all “real “ resorts for skiing are open in central and northern New England . The only one prominence not I believe is Sunday river as a main road washed out They all have made snow for the last few days and will continue next couple

Anyway , I was surprised to see how poorly Mammoth Mountain was doing . 26” inches to date . I imagine they have extreme variation from month to month and year to year but I was curious if anyone in the lower 48 had a decent December . Maybe Jackson Hole? (edit yup 125” summit / 76” mid mountain ) they average upper 400’s up top

So it was really Tamarack saying it’s desperation and he lives up there , and Wolfie has been going for decades snowmobiling (or not being able to) in December I don’t live up there and I haven’t even seen the picture but I imagine there is a big difference between nearly bare ground and being able to ride . So I can imagine many years with no riding in late December but not many with like a dusting on ground . I have no idea , how much is on the ground and is there any kind of close COOP data that shows how rare or not the current depth (or lack there of) is ?

What you think about January you had dec +4-6 I think

Likely so certainly appears to be the last telegraphed one from a week out , especially for places where it’s “supposed” to snow I’m just Hoping it stays active post pattern change

0z gfs delivers a juicy 3” Rainer for NY State with the 27-28’th system..the trough has enough juice left to swing a few inches of snow thru elevated CT and many in mass on 29’th .

Cranky says basically same deal we got here major pattern change coming . 2 step downs . Post 28’th and post Jan 1 Says the only wild card is wether subtropical jet gets involved in the 27-28 system and will determine if it’s steady showers or a third straight disaster

It looks like there is decent confidence the pacific lets up only for a brief period toward January 7-15 ish then we need decent Atlantic to offset that during what is approaching peak climo and then after that El Niño seasonal favorability kick in. Just give me snow in NNE lol , if the stars align in SNE earlier great . So basically January seems entirely up in the air with very wide goal posts

Euro regressed for NNE next week . 1.25 liquid . Not a worst case fire hose thou I really want to see a snower sneak in for NNE mtns with that

She didn’t know he slant sticked to 6”

You could of used that to ride out last weekend’s screamer I assume it’s stocked with Diet Coke

Well it’s about euro time for NNe fortunes next week

Wolfie what’s your B.P

What are your January thoughts if someone put another weenie to your head

Thanks , Johns Cosmic dildo powered by the Hadley Cell may have us holding our ankles east of “Appalachia”

Heading over to Costco , thinking if we will need an industrial size bottle of lube for January just in case

Good lord , 20 inches @ EB? No wonder the wheel chair .

SR sure needs to avoid another massive Rainer prior to new years , bc they sound like they are on the ropes needing a reprieve. I really hope the system prior to NYE either Snows or is weak or misses . A couple others are probably close . Wildcat is reopening at noon today . Hopefully Loon seems like they bounced back decently

Ya it’s a very interesting look, I’m skeptical at this juncture of a potent system but If the 27’th has a weak way west primary , we could have a airmass for many in CNE/NNE that is worth watching the follow up coastals track for , that one is still in lala land given it’s dependent on the first systems evolution . If the 27’th primary trends back stronger I would close the shades up north and pray there is no follow up coastal

Definitely does for certain seems the recent trend of weakening the primary on the 27’th as it cuts west and eventually drifts toward Illinois /Michigan is key to also help that high pressure build down north of Maine (or maybe it’s a vice Versa effect ) but as long as that keeps playing out then there is definitely potential for Maine into prob NE NH on first one and then that leaves a nice airmass lurking just north of NNE that a second low could pull down if it tracks favorably and at this juncture I think that is entirely possible (for the snow to come further south as well ) but if it’ doesn’t and there is a potent system ..there will be disaster potential given the current Situ

And then euro is NH/Maine flash flooder on the 29’th as coastal curls into S VT. Much more colder air nearby if the storm decides to take a less amped track (assuming there is Even a second peice to that storm ) but verbatim that would be a nail in coffin for ski resorts for new years And winter enthusiasts but I hope for the industry sake that doesn’t play out .

Convincing

That’s a nice little gift for cape Ann on New Year’s Eve , clipper sort of dries out goin thru CNE then reenergizes itself into a late blooming coastal that clips that area. Won’t happen like that but maybe more wintery outcomes begin presenting themselves . 18z was a Tobin jumper run out to Jan 4 this is much preferable and yes Lala land

Can anyone create a meme with maybe Greta and Klaus Schwab at the HAARP facility in Alaska torching the ionosphere https://www.science.gov/topicpages/h/haarp+ionospheric+heater#:~:text=The heating of the overhead,propagate under the heated region. and yes this is for humor , humans wouldn’t tinker with things .you wouid certainly know in real time

Lookin forward to the 0z gfs run
