18z GFS did go back west. It’s nail biting, ha. This thing will have one helluva gradient on the SE side.

Or rain right through. 18z NAM was a wet day Saturday. Changes over late here but not ideal. 4pm Sat

My sister had 4.5” out by BGM, said forecast was for around an inch. Pics look nice out there. Seems like a nice Advisory event down south.

Looks a lot more wintry there than here, ha.

That’s a nice looking radar for DIT.

Much better look for Phin’s area than GFS/GGEM. That spreads snows into far NW SNE and Backedge’s spot too. Gives a bit of wiggle room up this way too.

I didn’t want to say specific locations, ha. Trigger warning.

ALB has had 1/4-1/2sm SN the past 60-90 min. Not bad. Should translate eastward?

I’m dying at these exchanges .

That southern snow is todays event.

Provided the two-lane road to the ski area isn't completely screwed up on Harlow Hill from vehicles who can't climb it, it's fine. Sunday looks very windy and regardless of P-Type on Saturday, I see significant lift operation issues on Sunday.

I want this to get as far east as possible right now. I still think big early spring storm, convection in SE, could amp a bit on arrival. Riding the line between big snow and big rain or mix.

Can't get any better than 12z GFS... about 2" QPF with perfectly placed thermals. Decent snow growth column.

All downhill from here. The thermal profiles coupled with QPF, definitely the jackpot that run up here. Tall lift all within the DGZ zone… maximizing thermal profile.

Yup, it costs so much money to support an affluent population on the whole.

That’s great. Invest in the under represented areas of America and make money doing it. There are still a lot of economies with potential.

It’s a tough call, they will have to make up the money elsewhere. The state governments have barely been able to keep up with needed road work in many areas. Bridges need to replacing. Gas tax compensates for other taxation short falls. You feel for the family operating with a Toyota Corolla or Honda Accord that can’t meet the gas prices. Folks in $50,000+ trucks and SUVs worrying about gas prices going up is definitely an American problem.

Nice RT 2 fronto band in Mass. BDL went from 0.46" to 0.16" QPF but there was very little change in N.MA and extreme SVT/SNH near the border.

Oh it's bad. I didn't ski today but there's only so much rain and melt you can have and then freeze it up. At some point grooming machines can't even really do anything about it. There's just so much frozen water... you get like the blue ice bulges in the middle of trails that grooming tillers just bounce off of. It's like trying to cut up pavement. Anything with pitch is terrifying as a fall can send someone for a slide for life even on like an intermediate trail... where you don't stop until you hit something.

It's a thread the needle type situation when a low is moving up along a frontal boundary that's also moving. Gotta be in the right place at the right time. That EPS run was about the best thread the needle situation. A lot of members with major upstate NY snows that just clips NW New England.

We’ll be praying for suppression depression soon. Much rather a fringe job than 1-2” of rainfall.

Yeah I’m sort of given up on this winter really getting it done, now it’s time to enjoy whatever snow falls. 12z euro was more progressive.

If that's worse case I'll take it ha. Just want anything to cover up the defunct municipal skating rink look going on outside.

Sorry dude. Pulling for ya. It’s a tough market out there.

The wind is hammering us. Roaring and honestly surprised we haven’t lost power. East side of the spine/barrier on strong westerly CAA. We can mix down very well in these thaw to CAA situations… like water flowing over a line of rocks. It drops down with force behind the barrier. The tree boughs have been getting abused the past 15 minutes. I’d wager it’s consistent 40mph gusts.
