Mid-Week Upslope Snow FTW
Last week I said big storms like #Nemo didn’t excite me that much. Reasonably, people asked: “Well what does.” Simple answer: Upslope snow. I mean, need you ask why?
And we have some coming. Yay.
Today, a low pressure system …
Schussing Nemo (Pt. 1)
We went out and schussed Nemo for an hour or so this morning. What a treat!
We’ll have more content later as we see what happens, but for now here’s a quick POV from today. GIT SUM!
Snow totals so far:
WHITEFACE: …
POW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG POW!!!!!!!!!! (Updated: Friday 10:30 – at bottom-)
“They say its going to snow.”
No kidding.
In about 24 hours, widespread heavy snowfall will affect the Northeast. Again, for these big storms, there isn’t a lot to say. Nor in truth are these storms what get me jazzed …
The Spread
No, not that spread…I’m talking about the 4 inch spread…you know…the spread of snow on the mountain this morning.
This morning I woke up feeling a little ill from my enjoyment of last night’s spread of chips, salsa, beef casserole, …
Pattern Persistance Means More “Meh”
I know, there is only supposed to be 1 all-star break. Sorry about that. Odd scheduling anamoly. I’m working with the commish to iron out how that happened.
But we can’t go back in time and fix what happened. …
Cold with light snows…otherwise known as January.
Well I for one enjoyed that #allstarbreak. Oh, you didn’t know that there was an all-star break in your ski season? Get with the program jong. All the system testing, sunrise schussing, facehot–ing, voyaging to VTAH, and scooting …
January Thaw
The “January Thaw” is coming to stores near you this weekend.
Since December 19 it has been unmitigated winter in the northeast. After a rainy Friday in December, the faceshot machine turned on, VTAH stopped over, the woods opened up, …
Little waves of joy to begin the New Year
What a stretch it has been! 2012 has certainly closed with a bang in the Northeast….err…rather a “POW!” Since it rained on 12/19 it hasn’t stopped snowing! High five.
As we roll into 2013 it looks like that snowy …
Schuss Forest; Schuss!!
When the blackout dates arrive for season-pass holders, that can only mean one thing: it’s time to schuss forest (if it’s ready). This Christmas Week, skiers in the northeast have been gifted some of the best December snow conditions seen …
It Gonna Snow (and keep snowing…and keep snowing…Friday Update)
Well that was nice….looks like more is on the way
Tomorrow, a wave of low pressure is going to develop to our southeast. It will move up the coast and stay to our southeast. It isn’t going to be as potent …
VTah Part VII — The Merriest Snow on Earth! (OR: ‘Twas The Night Before Deepness)
‘Twas the night before deepness, and all through the mounts,
not a creature was stirring, not even a moose.
The ski-socks were drying, by the wood-stove with care,
In the hopes that Ullr bringer-o’-upslope soon would be there.
The powder was nestled all snug …
On the 13th day of Xmas, my true love gave to me, 13 inches of powder….
I mean maybe.
Update: Friday at Noon.
MAYBE NOT….This storm has already deposited 3-5 inches of snow in the ADK/VT as the warm front passed thru last night. However its really NOT behaving as modeled.
A much stronger low than …
Double Trouble. Two possible winter weather events in N/E (Monday AM Update…Still with UTAH content)
Monday AM update. (Again UT update is on page 2)
I’m sick. I’m angry. I had to miss what was prob. a great dawn patrol today. My head feels like it is in f fishbowl. I blame this jerk. Carbonara. …
More Kinda Interesting Weather (Updated for Mon 12/10/12)
MONDAY 12/10/2012 AM UPDATE
Well it’s raining on the Beast Coast. For now. Today, a low pressure system will track over the Great Lakes. The associated warm front is just passing through northern VT right now. This will place …
The Romp of the Pow-fa-hoofii
A mysterious beast of legend protects our mountains’ pow in the northeast: The taciturn Pow-fa-hoofus. Don’t be confused with its closely related, but entirely different relative the Wampahoofus. This fiend is a distinct creature with all its own habits and …
Weather Outlook for 11/28 thru 12/10 (Updated)
Lots to say, lots to say.
Starting with the East:
Since Thanksgiving weekend the northeast has been in a favorable pattern. Weak high pressure centered overhead and derived from Canada has kept temps cool. At the same time a …
Thanksgiving Outlook (UPDATED)
Turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, some green vegeatable, pie, gas, football, weird relative interactions, “SAY HELLO TO YOUR AUNT.”
Oh, you wanted a weather prediction. Riiiiight.
So on the east coast, we’ve been under an incredible high pressure. The amount …
An Early Season Apology
It’s early Sunday morning and I’m looking at a scene out of a dream. If it wasn’t for the biting ridge top wind sending the single digit air temp into solidly below zero wind chill territory, I’d probably think I …
Storm out west, Warm out east
As I’ve discussed on Facebook (for whatever that is worth) a major storm is set to impact the western half of the United States.
As I type this a large, cold pacific storm is marching into the West. This …
West By Ullr Virginia
It was two weeks ago, while most of the East Coast was bracing for the wind, rain, and tidal surge of Hurricane Sandy, that the first rumors of deep hurricane-induced snows in Appalachia started circulating among the schuss-reverent. Then …
Major Coastal Storm “Sandy” Set to Impact Northeast (UPDATED)
UPDATE
I love weather. I really really do. However I recognize that exciting weather rarely comes without consequences. So I wanted to be wrong. I wanted Sandy to miss wide right. By hundreds of miles. She didn’t. As I …
The Romp of the Wampahoofii
What was that? A dream? Or were we awake?
But that’s besides the point. More important: Where are we (or more accurately, what is this) now? A dream within a dream? Or are we awake.
It’s so hard to tell sometimes. Either …
Systems Test
Based on yet-another spot-on forecast by the esteemed Lionel Hutz, the FIS east coast bureau was ready bright and early today for a systems test in preparation for the upcoming ski season. Most of us were of the impression that …
Winter 2012-2013 Begins (?)(Update)
UPDATE — OCTOBER 6, 2012 — 7:16 AM
Despite no clear model consensus, I think I’ve figured out a reasonable solution. As of this morning I think we’ll see a weak surface low pressure develop around NJ sunda am and …
September Snow Shots
Eariler this morning I wrote the following on Facebook:
Over the next week the N/E is going to have two shots at seeing some flakes. The first chance will come Sunday night into monday morning. A trough swinging down and …
