Another storm is a'comin??

Accuweather is thinking this next storm goes out to sea well south of New England and we get NO frozen precip from it - not even in Southern New England. Could be wrong, though, but that's the current forecast.

Avy warning out for New Jersey.... AGAIN?? :ski:
 
irregardless of what happens this weekend, there is the real possibility of blow torch warmth and season crippling rains latter on in the period.. :evil:
 
Yep. The long range doesn't look good for the East Coast. I start my trips out West in the first week of Feb and I am hopeful that the blocking high is moving out and we are starting to get some systems moving back into the Rockies.

It's been a strange year. I think that things are going to break loose out West starting next week. [-o< That's my focus now for the rest of the season.
 
I'm not heading out west till the 18th/20th of March. However I will be there till about the 3rd of April. So personally I'm hoping for a continuation of the greenland block. Let's keep it cold and build up a ton of base so when I return I will be able to hit perfect spring conditions.

It is. The Utah Avalanche Center indicates that a pattern change is setting up for next week with a return to more normal moist, westerly flow.

It looks like we may be treated to one more non-event, before a pattern change next week finally brings more reasonable snow amounts. Today, there will be increasing clouds, with light snow flurries possible by afternoon. Total accumulations of a trace to a few inches are possible by Thursday afternoon. Temperatures today will be in the mid 20s and 30s, with the winds remaining from the southwest, averaging 10 to 15 mph. A few of the highest peaks may average closer to 20 mph, with gusts to 40. High pressure will build right back in late Thursday for the weekend. But there is finally some good news - the models have been consistent in a change to a more moist, westerly flow next week.

Iam going to JHWY in the first week of Feb. So, as I know, I could have great skiing or be watching the systems split north or south. I remain hopeful!! I'm also going to Colorado in the third week of Feb and the first week of March. Maybe a quick trip to the Bird in March to see the Freeskiing Championships. Subject to the Boss's permission. =;

Sorry Jason...this post is annoying me.

First off...Irregardless is not a word.

Second...the negative attitude...DUDE

Temps in the next 10 day period aren't supposed to get above 40...in my book, that isn't blowtorch by any means and should not affect the snow. There is no precipitation in the forecast until Friday, and that's a 30% chance of snow showers. I think it won't even get below freezing in the big mountains. Forecast for next 10 days is for dry weather, highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s...snow isn't going anywhere...at least not in the next 10 days. After that is too far in advance to know for sure.

I am also praying for lots of deep snow in Utah. I think after this dry period, I will be itchin to get out there.
 
due to new data..I need to remove the blowtorch out of the forecast..still above seasonable..

Thanks for the English lesson. yikes , your worse than my mom :lol: :shock:
 
Because this has become the English grammar thread, I'm going to make my correction too. "Do to" should be "due to" , although better English would read "Because of ....." rather than "due to....." [-X Furthermore, the ten-day forecast for southern to mid-New England does not really show much of a warm up. Low 30's during the day, with 20's at night. Ski areas might even be able to make snow most nights. Right now, conditions are quite good on any trails with snowmaking. No freeze/thaw cycle to ice the trails up.
 
I just rounded up the usual snow totals. Only the northern Vermont group got as much as a foot in the past week and a lot of places got nothing. But I assume surfaces are still reasonable with no thaw/freeze. I have read enough eastern reports over the years to get the impression that the manmade still gets pretty firm with skier traffic if there is little natural snow though.
 
Yea, Tony, manmade snow does become somewhat "firm" with just skier traffic on it, but it is really the freeze/thaw cycle (with some rain thrown in) that really causes it to become rock hard, frozen chunk of ice. Furthermore, with continued cold weather, the ski areas can continue to make new snow. Again, conditions have actually been quite good lately on trails with manmade snow.
 
Well the Plattekille report calls for snow/rain for Sunday into Monday...at Platt this usualy means snow...As for out west...I'm waitin!!!
 
We are still at the 72 + hour mark. The models are finding better agreement but I would wait until at least the 18z run of the NAM tomorrow night and see if it and the GFS have come in to agreement. If so, then I will start getting excited! This storm has good potential for Western MA, S.W. NH and Southern VT especially considering it was a non-event 3 days ago.
It's going to be juiced with gulf moisture (already got some good convection on the Texas radar returns) with just enough cold air in eastern Canada to do the trick away from the coast. I really don't see this being a major for northern New England ski areas but the areas i mentioned above could certainly use some more base.
Hope this verifies but a long way to go still...
