Out west they are totally dependent on natural snow. Too big and not enough water for snowmaking. In the warm winter world of the future, you will see skiing at small resorts on the East Coast where lower Western resorts shut down.

GaWx Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 19 minutes ago, jm1220 said: It took basic pattern recognition to realize that this was never a storm in terms of snow for us, and would be dicey in SNE but a fairly small shift would’ve kept it interesting along I-90. There’s as usual no preexisting cold to speak of, it’s another storm packed with moisture and the SE ridge is trying to make it cut as much as it can. Even if there’s a NAO block, we’re in trouble with the mega SE ridge. And oh by the way, it’s April. And this -NAO has consisted of record daily strong -NAOs Mar 31 through today with another record for the date expected tomorrow. Daily records go back to 1950.

Put in the books… In theory yes...but they lose the casual skiier who goes when there is snow in their backyard...some resorts note their best days are when there's a snowstorm in the I95 corridor. Their expenses are also higher to make snow vs get some natural snow-some of the local CT places have had 25% of annual snow fall last 3 out of 4 yrs...

Put in the books… Problem is those warm periods are accompanied by wash-outs which make the conditions in the East pretty poor. Can't really see how in a warmer future snowmaking helps a small East coast resort overcome the elevation advantage and proximity to the pac moisture the west has. Last couple years were anomalously bad but Belleayre isnt out-snowmaking Breckenridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatamy Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Mt. Holly has issued a special weather statement for a wake low which is producing strong winds to 40 - 50 mph across eastern PA and northern NJ. This is going to be incoming for you in the NYC area. Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 1238 PM EDT Wed Apr 3 2024 NJZ001-007>009-PAZ054-055-060>062-101-103-105-031745- Sussex-Warren-Morris-Hunterdon-Carbon-Monroe-Berks-Lehigh- Northampton-Western Chester-Western Montgomery-Upper Bucks- Including the cities of Newton, Washington, Morristown, Flemington, Jim Thorpe, Stroudsburg, Reading, Allentown, Bethlehem, Easton, Honey Brook, Oxford, Collegeville, Pottstown, Chalfont, and Perkasie 1238 PM EDT Wed Apr 3 2024 ...Strong Wind Gusts with a Passing Wake Low Early this Afternoon... Isolated strong easterly wind gusts near 40 to 50 mph have developed on the back side of the ending heavy rainfall early this afternoon. This is in response to a wake low passing across the area. These wind gusts may result in some isolated instances of tree damage or power outages. Use caution and take shelter indoors if sudden strong wind gusts develop in your area. $$ Staarmann 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was just me. I've been noticing that on my window in Linden, NJ all day. Interesting, the temperature is in the 40s all the way to the southern point of Hudson Bay, yet in the mid 30s in the Catskills. Based on that simplistic observation, I wonder if this WAS January, and there was actual REAL cold air to the north (unlike the past many winters), that this system couldn't potentially produce snow in the NYC metro area? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a deep 500mb system that it's likely if there was a true arctic airmass in place we would have snow in Jan. At the current setup now translated into Jan...still unlikely on the Coastal Plain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
