ski MRG Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Temps starting to tick downward here FWIW. 39.7° and slowly dropping. 850 freezing line probably extends along that area of bright banding from Saratoga Springs southwestward along I-88. Yeah, I was just looking that. C'mon giddy up 850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoob40 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 OK, Scooter, what's the final call out here? Well Dan Brown on ABC 40 said you won't see a flake until after midnight. Hopefully he's incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forkyfork Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I know alot of focus is on the snow, but where does the heaviest axis of rain set up? Sure looks like North Central MA to Berks are getting smacked right now with radar est of 1.5 already bright banding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weathafella Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 This is an interersting system. While I know I'm going to rain it may well rock hard for a few hours and be very windy tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinch Leatherwood Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Lets hope so Pete, but its been god awful, Okemo with still only 4 runs, at the top, pouring rain all day up that way. Lets hope they see snow tonight, enough to build on over the next few days. ORH is +9.2 through yesterday, your area above +10 for the first week in December, incredible warmth, just incredible after a record breaking warm autumn, and yes you did snow in October. Bottom line ski season to date has been atrocious, and the first week of December has been a blow torch. I hope to God ski country gets snow! Not according to Pete, one of the best in recent memory but you're being a woos and won't ski on rocks so there's more rocks for him. I'm surprised Pete wasn't out there today taking advantage of the wonderful conditions. Well Dan Brown on ABC 40 said you won't see a flake until after midnight. Hopefully he's incorrect. Quite possible, tale of the tape will be told in the next hour or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 It's amazing that despite all the December torch talk and how ski resorts would be closed at Christmas here we are at the end of week 1 with a decent storm about to dump on many areas and a protracted period of snowmaking temps to follow. Trail counts should really expand over the weekend and beyond. Like me, many people will have a great time skiing in the next fews days. Sadly, there are some that see brown in their backyards and choose to miss the fun. More for us!!!! Haha I'm not going to lie, Pete, its still pretty bleak for skiing. Sugarbush, Okemo, Stratton, etc aren't even top-to-bottom (ie, not even man-made snow below 2,500ft), Jay Peak was closed Mon-Wed this week, at Stowe we are barely holding it together on the bottom half of the mountain. Its not all cupcakes and rainbows, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattb65 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 HRRR insisting that most of us flip to snow from ORH on east with enough for a coating to 1" Obviously it's the HRRR so take it fwiw. RUC is more like the 18z NAM/GFS runs and lift out the precip before the cold can make it east.

wxmanmitch Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Really? I would have expected the line to be more vertical than that. 40.7/40 It will probably become more vertical as the low approaches us and bombs out. This is why it may take a good while for us to turn over. Tremendous mid-level forcing over us right now. If this antecedent airmass were even seasonally cold...
