With all due respect you do not know the area well then. That area around 600’ is the lowland for the region and often a elephant graveyard for snow. Most of the area is much higher than that and you really want to be above 1,500’ to score on a lot of systems. It’s a stark difference. For example those areas around 600’ average maybe 70” of snow. My area 10 minutes up the road is 130”. Many of the resort and mountain communities around the Stratton and Mount Snow region are well above 1,500’ with some rising to about 2,400’ feet. And of course the peaks are 3500-4000.

You should score 6 down in the lowlands of Jamaica/W. Townsend, but more like 10+ with elevation.

None of these next three systems was ever a threat for coastal snow. Especially down in NYC.

Southern greens you think Will?

Anyone post snow maps from euro for late next week?

Yes. Through mid-January Pope and Qomega firmly at the top of the league. Brooklyn and 40/70 in the running for first round draft pick. We’ll see what happens from here but if the stout SE ridge on the GFS rears it’s head in the long term it’s lights out.

Honestly at this point I think we need to take those ensemble means and toss em as far as we can. They along with Brooklyn have led us to no-man’s land. Unless stuff starts showing up within a week on the operationals, close the blinds.

Models indicate some type of hybrid Ohio Valley low/SWFE into New England. Ski resorts and businesses in New England need this one. Let’s see if we can trend to more high pressure here and a more progressive SWFE system to thump the mountains.

NAM looks nothing like the globals. Much more confluence and high pressure out ahead of the system.

What are you expecting Will?

I still don’t think it’s over

Good? Ski resorts need this one bad bro.

I thought 6z gfs actually looked better.

No cold air though. Canada flooded with warmth, no polar source.

Remember I am the new pope. I blessed this event earlier in the week, as I am also anointing several more chances the next two weeks. I am your Green Mountain pontiff, jump on my mobile.

First sign of a mental crack. The old “well I’ll sacrifice” post.

I bless this map.

Follow my lead. I’ve been sniffing out the pattern. My train is leaving the station, I am the new pontiff.

And it’s the best model. The Euro sucks, the GEM is hot garbage and the GFS has significantly improved and done steadily well the last year. it’s gonna snow Friday. Away from the coast from interior mass up through the mountains it’s gonna snow. 3 snow events through the next two weeks, abd I think one could score on the coast.

I’m surprised at the negativity going forward. Late week looks kind of interesting and seems like could be a couple chances behind it. Before the 500mb pattern looked good but nothing really materialized. Now we actually have models showing an interesting mid range period at the surface and all anyone wants to do is complain about the 300hr 500 mb. Who gives a f—k.

Have to hand it to Q, he took a lot of heat but nailed this pattern and the coming record warm first half of January.

NAM came in warmer at 0z so the cooling trend for NNE has stopped.

Plenty of snowmaking time for those arriving after Christmas

12z trends today say not so fast on a CNE and NNE washout. More cad, pressing pv high, quickly moving storm with perhaps sone upslope on the backend. Net gainer for the Greens?

I was going to ask you any way the ski areas in VT can minimize the damage here. Conditions are great now and going to be cold both sides of late week but can they escape without obliterating their coverage. What would we look for? Be nice if they could minimize the warm sector and maybe squeeze some snow out in the front and back end.
