CAPE Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 6z GFS depicts a significant piece of NS energy dropping southward as the ridge amplifies- that interacts with energy in the flow underneath and induces a strong surface low right at the coast. Very convoluted as this occurs as the initial Miller B transfer to a coastal low is occurring. Ends up with 3 lows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 I don’t think we’re in a drought anymore, Will. I’m ready for sunny 60s/70s. Let’s see what severe weather season brings. Summer likely to be hotter and drier than the last few. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe bet yes, and a very expensive one at that. If it’s possible to get a last minute deal at Tahoe, I’m all ears. otoh, I can go to Spokane for basically free using points, and if I chase to the cascades, it’ll probably be half the cost of Tahoe anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just want to see the most snow during a dump then the Tahoe or Mammoth Lakes areas are best. But yes more expensive but for be the biggest issue is it’s also very windy which imo can make heavy snow less aesthetically pleasing. but it also means everything closes including ski resorts. For me if I’m going out west I want to combine my snow chase with a ski trip. Jackson Hole is a nice town in a snowstorm. Was in Revelstoke when they got like 20” over a few years back. Steamboat is the best Colorado ski town for a snowstorm where they get a lot of snow in town also. But honestly if you just want a snowstorm chase, at some point there will be a big snow in northern New England. If you like tracking the storm and using radar to pin down a heavy band during..that’s a better bet. Out west it’s all topography and radar is useless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were just me, I’d do a pure snow chase with a last minute drive up to new england the night before. But with the family, probably best to combine with something else like visiting family and/or a ski trip. Some stuff for kids to do, too. Love Steamboat, but been there 3x. Feels like been there done that want something new. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like been there done that want something new. If the kids ski, something to keep in mind Copper Colorado is the best western resort I think for beginners and mixed ability levels because the mountain progresses from beginner to expert right to left looking at the mountain. And it’s one of the few big mountains where they have a lot of top to bottom runs for beginners. It’s also close to the towns of Frisco, Dillon Breckenridge and Vail and not too far from Denver. And if you want to hit up more than one mountain Winter Park and A basin are within reasonable drives and all 3 are on the ikon pass. Definitely get some kind of pass the window rates are outrageous! It doesn’t get the most snow. About 300” a year. Some places out west are over 400. But if you’re planning ahead for a set week anywhere out west above like 7000 feet will have a lot of snow on the ground. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that’s on the typically coldest model! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Note the indications of more NS involvement showing up evident from the blue extending into central Canada. I said that bothered me when I saw it showing up a few weeks ago and it was the first step to the pattern breaking down. That increased NS involvement eventually screwed with the -nao. It’s showing up again at the same lead time in the same way. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weather Will Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 One of the things I'm watching closely is the trend in cold air anomalies toward the end of March. Little colder this run....comparisons to a week ago and about two weeks ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
