Friday Jan 13th 5pm Update
Ok Act III. Upslope snow over next 12 hours will be the story of this storm. We’ve gotten between 5-8 inches of cumulative snow since Easy started with a few pockets of more. It has fallen …

The weather has been tricky recently. Last week a strong low pressure system passed to our west drawing warm air and rain into New England, and ruining the Christmas weekend snow only a few days after it had fallen. As …

Shut up about it being a bad december. Ok? Enough already. We got it. It didn’t snow a great deal at the beginning of december. But it could have been worse and frankly, since December 16th we’ve had between 1.5 …

Every non-skiing plan made during the winter months requires a “Pow Clause,” which, if you have never heard of such a thing before, governs the amount of snow that must fall from the sky so as to render said non-skiing …

Been a bit warm around these parts. Or so I’ve heard. I’ve been too busy sacrificing goats and virgins to Ullr to pay attention. And maybe it worked out as it looks like we’ll have the return to a more …

Well do you like your turkey cold? I do and apparently Ullr might as well. As I hinted last week, the potential existed for a major winter storm around the 23/24th. Well damnit “City Dwelling Dad/Father of 2”, …

Well the time has come for the LionelHutz official 2011-2012 winter outlook.  I put a lot of work into this and I hope you enjoy it.
So let’s get right down to it with some opening remarks about the overall prevailing …

Hot-Damn! It feels like it’s been a long time since I wrote about freezing weather and frankly I’ve started to miss you guys. It’s been quite a ride since we last talked and you know what….I’m ready for the …

I don’t know what it is about the Mother’s day period. Maybe Ullr’s mom likes to shuss. IDK. Whatever it is, I strongly think some uppper elevation pows are on the way. Just like last year.
Gonna keep …

Friday PM Update:
Eh…storm blooming a bit with some radar returns snowing light snows along the Green spine and Catskills.  Not a very well organized system by any means.  Wasn’t feeling my snowfall totals a few hours ago and though they …

Enjoy that warm up? I hope so because all signs point to at least a two week return to winter. Starting this week, snow showers, cold temps, northwinds and cloudy days will return. And what a better way to kick …

So reviewing those totals, it looks we were right that …

I was going to call this post “Roller Coaster of Love” in honor of Valentine’s Day and the fact that temps over the next 5 days will indeed be on a roller coaster.  However, I hate roller coasters, don’t celebrate …

Stop me if you’ve heard this before (and you have- here , here and here) : a deepening coastal low will bring snows to a large strech of the Northeast, however it’s inland reach is debatable.
WRAP-UP
Wow…what a storm. Sometimes things just …

Today was one of those sleeper days… just deeper.

Quick update here:
Currently the Greens, ADK and to a lesser extent NH are under the influence of an upper level low slowly spinning and exiting towards the northeast. Over the next 36 hours this upper trough will correspond to an …

Currently a weak shortwave is moving through PA pushing a blob of light to moderate snows through the eastern half of the state.  Further to the north light snows are breaking out across NY State. You can clearly see the …

Update: Totals
Looks like the event unfolded pretty much as I expected- though HIGHLY variable- with the Bush came out as the winner. Reported totals up and down the spine are as follows:
Buying lift tickets for a trip you just planned …

Morning!  Hopefully you all had a great weekend. I did. Sorry about the rains.  I believe some help is on the way.  Note: I have to make this quick because I need to do some actual work (that’s a total abject lie. …

After an Epic, amazing, textbook, strangely predictable, super-duper awesome, FKNA! inducing, “magic” upslope snow event which gave us VTAH V, everybody has been asking me “what’s next.” Well sadly what’s next just isn’t going to be as awesome. Yea. Sorry …

WARNING:
To everyone looking for powder in the early season, be safe, and be respectful of what you can do, and what the snow allows you to do. At FIS we firmly believe in letting people do what they …

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR THE UPDATE
You know I was all set to discuss how excited I was for the upcoming period and then I ripped a hole right in the seat of my dress pants. Yep. Caught the pants …

It’s rained. It was warm. Get used to it. It happens in a la Nina pattern. However, as I said a few weeks ago in my winter outlook as these messy storm pull out, upslope snow will play an important …

Careful out there everyone. Heard a few reports of injuries on this early season snowpack! It would seriously suck to miss the rest of the season because you charged like Sage on grass, stones and snow.

As you know, i’m Bi. No…not like that…settle down there all you bears….I’m a bi-forecaster. As much as I love tracking and predicting the Northeast’s amazing weather and super storms, I also have a fondness for the sheer weather …
