Reggie warmer, primary gets further north

Icon is a huge dump for the Greens

You think more FZRA than IP Sunday? And assume it's all going to freeze up for Saturday? Wonderful.

Thanks for the perspective Just about every model shows a 10-15"+ storm for the Southern Greens which in a vacuum would be awesome... hate having to sweat these details. I only get a few weekend trips a year up there (trying to convince the wife for more, but she's lost the love for skiing). I'd also love to ski midweek but that's not easy to do (we pulled the kids out of school the Friday of MLK and had a blast)... the crowds are just insane on these holiday weekends.

Going into this weekend, I was hoping for several things (I'm skiing at Mt. Snow Sat-Mon) - Continuation of no rain to maintain pristine base (FAIL) - If things did get icy (which they will on Friday), snow starting early enough Saturday to soften things up (looking like a FAIL) - An all or mostly snow event (FAIL) - Not having to ski through sleet on Sunday (probable FAIL) - No wind holds Monday (FAIL) If you told me I'd be up there to experience a 9-15" event, you'd think I'd be ecstatic but I'm pretty bummed about how things look to develop. Hoping we get a few more cold tics and perhaps an earlier start Saturday.

Crap, it seems my worst fears are materializing for the weekend, specifically Sat-Mon when I'll be skiing Mt. Snow. After today's FZRA and a cold Friday, expect frozen granular (or could it stay soft-ish?) for Saturday. Also, Saturday's snow looks to break out too late to help conditions. Sunday looks like a sleetfest which is quite unpleasant to ski in. Maybe there's some time to get this colder? Monday looks frigid and quite windy so I'd expect wind holds.

Maybe if you squint?

Yep, 0Z even better Can we get all snow down to Mt Snow? GFS and CMC print 12+ throughout the Greens

Icon maybe a smidge colder

I realize it's complete puppy piss as a model but may be onto something given the CMC is flatter and the GFS just came in significantly colder, less amped, with a decent secondary forming in time for Pike North.

Nice - I grew up skiing there and it's perfect for my kids' levels (though my 8yo daughter is begging to ski the North Face) Snow was great over MLK weekend (if a big skiied off), hoping the ice overnight isn't too bad and that the weekend storm can stay mostly snow/sleet. Monday looks frigid, maybe it'll thin out the crowds!

GFS colder and seems like a transfer, though not super clean

18Z ICON (I know, I know) again slides this off NJ and keeps CNE mostly snow I care because I'm heading to Mt. Snow this weekend and would prefer not to track the kids while pinged with sleet or getting drenched with rain. Maybe wishful thinking.

I'm heading up for my second VT trip with the family this weekend. Had an absolute blast at Mount Snow over MLK, deep winter up there - driving through Albany with just a few inches on the ground to 18-24" as you climbed up into the Greens was awesome. I'd love to head further up to Stowe, Jay, et all but it's too far with kids so we're staying in Wilmington and hitting Snow again and maybe Okemo if we get ambitious. Kids are fairly new to skiing but i splurged for the Epic Pass and we've done about 10 days on the season...they have no trouble with blues so Snowdance, Ridge Run, Sunbrook are perfect for them. Worried about the Pres Day crowds and potential ice but encouraged by the latest modeling shifts (sans the Euro)... GFS is 36 hours of almost all snow capped by a great CCB Sunday evening... Let's hope!

Congrats Will, you are the envy of snow weenies everywhere

This is a healing thread for snow-starved weens around the Megalopolis. I'm taking my family up to Lake Placid/Saranac Lake this weekend and can't wait to get out in the depths. I need some snow in my life and I have no problem traveling for it.

I can speak firsthand that it's a miserable place for snow. Quintessential nickle and dime. There is literally snow in the air for weeks at a time (the dying lakes squalls that get squeezed out over the big ridge to the west) that never accumulates.
