I'm headed up to Southern Vermont from Virginia (stratton mountain) with the family next week for a spring skiing trip. I'm hoping the southern greens are in a good spot. I know we're still a ways out with this.

I'm here at Snowshoe now. The ground has whitened.

Looks like a late season Snowshoe WV special brewing...

Hope Ji approves.

Do you have this through 06z Sunday? I'm enrolled to Davis Wv.  Thanks!

I agree 

I see you travel to snowshoe quite often. Im going to timberline this evening to ski tomorrow and Sunday. Do you think they should do pretty well? 6-8" or so?

Wind is gonna be awful. You Anna be on a lift when a 50-60 mph gust comes?

Would be there through Sunday if I went.

3k NAM with ~4 hours of 1"+ rates at DCA with 30-40mph wind gusts... really could be a fun one. I'd think the depth map is an underestimate.

Do you have this for west virginia Alleghany front? Including upslope? Trying to decide if it's worth it to make 1 more ski trip to timberline

I'm sure after CF passage Sat afternoon and overnight. 

I was just asking if there was more fluff after 01z to add to the map you posted.

Hrrr'd

 

Is there still any upslope in the Alleghany front after this?

This thing is weakening every run. Just toggle the qpf maps...

It is weaker so it is further southeast. I was really hoping for some late season skiing and had planned on heading to Canaan this weekend. I hope this trend stops.

Already at 2.3” and moderate/heavy rates here. 31ºF

Nice! Do you think blue knob is cashing in? I'm thinking about going there to ski one last time this weekend..

WB 6Z EURO 

Is there any upslope still cranking in the Alleghany's at this hour?

Its raining on the summit of Timberline at 4000 feet. Thats all you need to know....

This event reminds me of the late March (3/21/19)  snow linked in article below. Blue ridge up through skyline drive received 6-10" while most everyone saw cold white rain/rain.

NWS is forecasting 2-3" for western Augusta County and along the ridges of the Shen Valley.  Could be a sneaky day off from school for the kids on Wednesday here.

I think you will see these number increase for the ridges but not increase in terms of coverage area. This looks like elevation snow. Elliot knob should do well here.

Wednesday looks like a blue ridge special. I'd think areas above 2500 feet will be in line for heavy wet accumulating snow. Outside of elevation I just can't see more slushy grassy areas at best.

You can tell winter is over when the MR/LR thread has turned into a discussion on social media.

I thought the same thing. Should be something to track for climo favored areas soon.

This might be it. If we gonna get one, it's likely in the 10-17 window.

Agreed. This also may be the window that saves March skiing along the Alleghany front. (Provided the bases can survive the extended warm/rain over the next 10 days or so...

WB 18Z GFS….snow hole ticked NW

Does this capture all the upslope in WV?

I hope that is close for the Alleghany front near Canaan. 

Only I can pick a weekend to ski canaan valley where it snows considerably more at snow starved resorts like Wintergreen.

I tend to agree. GGEM also had 1-2” this way.

I could agree more. Im taking the family to Canaan Valley this weekend for the first time. Hopefully we get some upslope fluff if nothing else.

4" line on 06z EPS pretty much runs i95 corridor from BWI to EZF

What about south towards Richmond?
