radarman Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Skied with Scot Schmidt a few years back, one of their pioneers. That guy is a legend. At Squaw he's the first (and maybe only) guy ever to ski this one line in the palisades, now called Shmidiots in his honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathafella Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Looking at the 165 hour prog on the sv maps, this event is a month early but reminds me of 11/29/95. For that reason, snow will likely be far more scarce outside of elevated areas but I like the pattern transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OKpowdah Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 What's most significant with this 00z GFS run I think is that it's very clear it's going to be big, early on. Hr120 has every sign of a major storm developing from the plains to the east coast. What happens beyond that point will vary with each run, but what matters is this loading pattern. Fun times ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Wow, what a torch pattern on the GFS for the rest of the run after Halloween. Definitely looks nothing like the Euro ensembles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT Rain Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The GFS would be close to the damaging wind storm Kevin has been posting about for 5 years that has yet to materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 The GFS would be close to the damaging wind storm Kevin has been posting about for 5 years that has yet to materialize. Yeah decent high over Nova Scotia with a 988mb off ACY. Dec '92-esque in the placement...but high is about 10mb weaker. Still would be some big winds verbatim though on the GFS.

nzucker Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Yes it would start as snow. I just think the chances of snow are near nil without an arctic airmass. We need the storm to wait until later as that low crosses the Northwest Territories and finally blasts some colder air across Hudson Bay, but that doesn't appear to be happening. Otherwise we're basically relying on threading the needle, and we've seen a tendency this fall for troughs to be much further west than modeled. I could see this storm being a much bigger threat for the Mid-Atlantic Appalachians than New England, but of course it's still so far out. As you say, GFS looks super mild in the long range. +EPO continues with the vortex setting back into N Canada, which has been the pattern lately. It seems as if we're having trouble getting away from the Iceland block with low height anomalies over Baffin Island and the Archipelago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moneypitmike Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 moneypitdave? Could be qpf issues in Hubbardston. That one pic was of the upper part of Redline, not the best cover that day. Magic needs a healthy snowpack to make the steep stuff viable. When its good its really good though. I always travel with a pair of rock skis or two. There is something very liberating about skiing boards that you can trash. Sort of like a beater-truck. Yeah decent high over Nova Scotia with a 988mb off ACY. Dec '92-esque in the placement...but high is about 10mb weaker. Still would be some big winds verbatim though on the GFS. Uh-oh. I wonder how many people will latch onto that reference for the next week......... Is 180 snow for Rindge? Yup--and for some of your neighbors into Mass. Too bad whatever's depicted there gets completely washed into oblivion shortly thereafter. NYS on the other hand......??? 46.8/40, up from 46.0. Looks like a day of pretty stagnant weather. Picking up the new cat today, FTL; starting up on cutting/splitting of my trees, FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
