My forecast numbers for the I95 are going to miss by 2-3x, haha.  They are getting blitzed right now.  I guess I forgot what a stalled low with beautiful upper level dynamics can do on the coast in mid winter. Sadly, I think my upstate numbers will be more accurate :(

What were your numbers for Upstate?

Wow, quite a different between you and the King.

Yeah, he's all in.  I'm on the West Side of Roc and bitter.  I think this is a great storm system meteorologically, I'm just not impressed by the throwback scraps in these situations for us in far WNY..it rarely works out. Cuse is on the cusp of legit snows though.

That said, this storm stalls for a lot longer than similar systems, so perhaps once its really closes off and matures it will be able to channel a lot of moisture back west.  Then there is the question of whether or not a deformation band will setup somewhere this way along with the lake effect wildcard.  I'm certainly tracking it and hopeful, but just not feeling really confident.  

Im planning to hit Greek Peak on Wednesday which should be a very solid day.  They have great glades!

Yeah, I have similar thoughts as yours. I have mentioned I really think this is going to be a situation where you could do awesome if you're under one of the bands for a while...but if you're outside of it, it's going to be a tough pill to swallow. I think it's going to provide bigger pleasant surprises for some, and bitter disappointment for others. Just hopeful it's more surprise for as many of us as possible.

One thing I want to point out Delta, the 850’s are forecast quite a bit colder than they were forecast yesterday. I share your concerns about how far west the good stuff comes but I gotta say, I think it’s  possible. image.thumb.png.d2a61cfe94c914e520027bc7b021b5b2.png

For a smaller mountain, their glades are really impressive.  It always blows my mind when they have the snow how much terrain there is, and its pretty technical.  I only go when I know I can get off piste though...and Wednesday looks pretty prime.

NE lake enhancement is one of my favorite setups.  I feel like big DeltaT's arent as critical with a lot of background moisture and lift.  Those are right around the 13 degree benchmark though so we should be in play, perhaps doing a little better because the lake temp is probably 4 or 5 degrees above freezing for some portion of the center of it.
