FOOK ALB going with 0 snow accumulation here, if the ski area needs to stay closed and I can't work I'm literally screwed. Yikes!!

Ski area employees across NE are in worry mode right now. This event will be good for mood but the reality is several significant (6"+) are needed to really get things going.

I have a friend who works for Sugarloaf and she says there is a lot of underemployment at the NNE resorts right now.

It's a rough situation because a lot of ski workers are migratory and are counting on the work.

Oh man the NAM just got its arse handed to it by the GFS...

NAM was moving SE and when nothing followed it at 12z yesterday the gig was up. NAM is on the naughty list with the SREF's IMO.

When even MRG isn't defending the state of ski conditions you know it's ugly. I had a very bad feeling looking at the long term in mid november and here we are....let's hope for a miracle because this is a disaster.

Think we are honing in on the solution now...as usual go with the Euro/.ensembles...NAM/GFS will wobble from here on in. Think Kevin will be the dividing line...not sure if he gets away with this one or not...but I am still favoring an ORH/Hubbdave to GC 2-5" snow depending on elevation. Over 1,000 feet should get advisory.

This system looks very impressive coming out of the Gulf right now, heavy rain and thunderstorms, even a Tornado Watch. Is the system going to be stronger than modeled, and how farth north will it really come? I think this storm still has a lot of questions, and will likely have surprises. I would bet some places see 6 inch amounts, like the Monadnock area.

Mt Washington.

This run has me more confident for bigger totals up here. Deep mid level RH and I get some lift in the max dendritic zone between H5-H6. 2m will be cold enough to snow, but if I'm around 32.3F or something I'm not sure if I'll fully realize the better ratios. I think the higher elevations in NW MA/S VT/SW NH will pile it up. Maybe a Socks workplace jackpot in Rindge?

Pretty mild at 39.6F out there now. I'm banking on cooling/drying things out after dark tonight before the next system closes in before midnight.

I think Will's fav weenie ridge out to Socks and into GC pull it. Pretty good signal for a decent band there. Even Dendrite could do it.

yeah i like the elevated terrain of C/S VT into C/S NH zone. i'm sure some good totals into the higher terrain of MA as well.

the gfs and euro both have a nice tongue of deep mid-level moisture and lift lingering over C NE after most of SNE kinda gets into the DS. those areas should have some decently cold mid-level temps as well to help with SG.

my concern for SNE is how quickly does this stuff get out of here? it is rocketing through. kind of like that last event, an hour or two is going to be important, especially for the marginal areas.

Looks good for them. Chasing?

Nah I think winter hill will do fine...weenie ridge may get me by an inch or two, but I have a hard time imagining they get 5" while i get 1.3" or something. As I long as I avoid the mid level warmth, I think 900+ feet will be pretty good in north Worcester.
