You know what’s more annoying than those of us incessantly complaining about this winter? Those of you who chastise the complainers. I mean really. It’s ok to vent. This winter’s been a hot turd. Most of you end up complaining one or two runs later once you realize the complaints were in fact correct and the thing is west.....Again!

We screwed bro

Ugh

Another cutter. Who coulda guessed?

That’s a different look at least. The HP won’t be able to outrun it. Now we got to hope the LP isn’t early.

The most frustrating part of this winter is that it constantly trolled us. “Just around the corner! Two weeks away!” For now, I’ve given up. Ya never know but I don’t see hopeful trends. I’d bet my entire net worth on the Tues-Thur thing going west.

Next two weeks of weather looks awful.

It’s like a two day disruption. Blink and u miss it.

Another load of crap on the 0z runs. I’m not feeling the chances of good snow for Lake Placid Feb 5-9.

I clicked on the new thread and nothing happened? Anyway, this winter is done. It’s the pacific jet, the Bahama ridge, cold in Alaska and crap indices. Basically everything and anything that could go wrong did. NWS called it. The long range has been an utter joke. Promises around every corner only to turn to slush and rain. I can barely remember a more disappointing winter. Delta, it’s gonna take a miracle to salvage our Lake Placid trips.

And they have snow!

It’s not NZ, but the views in Montana ain’t bad.

Hawaii is awesome this time of year. Maui is my favorite island. First class adds a thousand- unfortunately, and I almost need it with my back. Those economy seats are a cruel joke for a 12 hour flight. I flew to Bozeman (currently there) on credit card miles and they wouldn’t allow an upgrade. What!?!? My money is no good? Lol

Fun for u but literally no one else. It continues...

Just finished skiing Jackson Hole. It was fabulous. Driving through W Yellowstone in the back of a huge GMC Yukon on my way to Big Sky. Snowing with big snow banks either side of the road. Life is tough.

I think this one will surprise. Delta, my trip to Whiteface is February 5-8.

I wouldn’t give up on the weekend. It looks like an April storm. It has some limited upper level cold air to work with. Some surprises still possible. Just a couple degrees away from an interesting storm. It’s a spring storm- look to elevation stuff anyway

850’s are screwy like a couple others already stated. NAM must be seeing sleet as snow.

NAM is a good hit. I’m in Jackson Hole. The flight and 4 hour drive screwed my back up- just my luck, lol. Hitting it with icy hot and ibuprofen. Stretching too. Hopefully be skiing tomorrow. Any suggestions? Tons of snow in the Tetons. Base of 36”+. Beautiful! Hope to get some fresh stuff but I’ll be skiing the curdory to save my back either way.. Supposed to ski 3 days with a massage after day 2- should help. Even if I can’t ski much I’ll enjoy the views, the food and the company. And of course the SNOW! #badtimingback

I don’t see freezing rain wit this set up. Wet snow and rain is more likely. Roads could be bad in CNY and WNY on Saturday evening but not too bad. NWS is best resource for accurate weather forecasts.

Son of a B! I’m out of town until Monday! Figures! Lol Cant ask for a better look.

GFS storm track looks exactly like what we just saw. I wouldn’t discount it. Good to see folks coming on board with the canook. I’ve mentioned the upgrade several times. The icon also had an upgrade btw

Love the look of this weekends storm. Now let’s watch it fall apart In all reality, this has a great look. Good consistency across models. Limiting factors? Temps. Typically a great track for WNY but enhancement might not add much with marginal temps but then again, the lakes are warm- we saw LER two days ago...

I can’t buy that Euro track. It makes no sense. Is the SE ridge completely gone?

Even Carol was crying yesterday. She’s at 100. I think the Roc stats are modestly inflated. Maybe 10%. It all started a few years ago when the airport was under measuring every snowfall. All the local mets went crazy and attacked them, verbally. And very publicly. Ever since then, over measurements. Go figure.
