Powderfreak FTW

Always nice to come visit a thread and the first post I see is this, haha.

I hadn't even looked at the NAM but now that I have, it looks exactly like the GGEM.

All I want is 3-5" of synoptic snow to refresh the mountain for the second weekend of the President's Week holiday. The snow surface is, uh, firm right now and upslope fluff is nice to look at but doesn't help the overall situation.

its a clean miss here

what a kick in the balls that would be considering there is nothing to stop this coming N and W other than the energy being too weak, itself.

having said that, im still hedging SE, its not going to track like that.

We are on the same page, I think we see a track like the SREFS a couple pages ago had..

firm hard and fast was the name of the game at Gore on Sunday, skied K-Mart on Saturday and it was interesting to say the least.

I still hold out hope for some in the interior of our region getting mostly snow. And by that I mean the foothills. I suppose it could mimic the 2/5 disaster though.

I think this ticks SE, I wouldn't be worried. There always seems to be a SE push with these types of systems with a low redeveloping closer to the coast. The problem is, does that SE push only hold the cold air at the surface in, or does it actually cool off the mid levels even to bring the snow line south?

My gut has always said this is a storm that fringes us up here, with the ALB/GFL/RUT/LEB crowd making out the best.

Verbatim the 18z NAM is a solid snowstorm for the Killington area and central Greens.

Yeah most of ski country could really use this to freshen up the trails after that thaw/freeze. And not this couple inches of fluff that seems to come every few days, but something with some liquid content in it.

Well...yeah. With the H85/H7 circulations tracking over my head I will changeover even with a better sfc track. But at least that may just mean S to IP to ZR instead of a period of plain old R.

Middlebury gets crushed on the 18z NAM. Might be headed up there soon scooter.gif

Another run and it's just like the Euro.. I hope this will finally get people to stop looking at or using the GFS. What a piece of crap. You don't factor it into any of your forecasts..ever.

You should get a job writing the ncep discussions. That's pretty much what theyve said all winter which has worked great aside of when the euro was just as bad.

HPC is riding the EURO/UKMET all the way home... they even have the best/heaviest snow probabilities north of me. Man, looking at this stuff and then looking at the 12z GFS really makes you wonder on a 72 hour forecast.

The poster "Organizing Low" even has a chance at 12"+ per HPC's graphics.
