    This is kind of my thought.  I'm riding Friday at Sugarbush and Saturday at Killington.  Worst case scenario is we get rain most of Saturday (I'd bail on snowboarding) but a rapid changeover late day and then some "storm chasing" and fun obs Sat night into Sunday morning to somewhat make up for it.  And the best case scenario would be a wild powder day on Saturday and an amazing trip overall.

    Sugarbush is awesome. I was just there. Not much around there but super fun hill.

    This looks like an advisory event to me for the most part at this stage. Like a general 3-6 with maybe a stripe of 6-9 somewhere along the front where the best forcing is (CNY?). The negative factors against a bigger event appear to include fast-moving wave, positive-neutral trough, less than ideal snow rates for most of the event, time of day (mostly a Saturday event), and a warm antecedent ground and air mass (m/u 40s friday).

    Things can change but IMO this is a warning event for everyone but Buffalo. And that’s close

    I’m having a hard time too man. But for me it’s all about Ukraine. 

    I wish I could do more.  It physically hurts.

    Maybe a blizzard for you and some warmer days for me can help us to be a bit distracted even if it’s just for a little bit. 

    Thanks bud. Have a nice trip. We used to love a steak-house called Thoroughbreds. Better than Greg Normans place IMO. 
    Play a couple scratch rounds.

    There you go. That's what I was talking about earlier. As you can tell, I am more positive about this event than most of the other ones this season. It's a different track than what we've seen.

    My entire school community was on a high from the record warm day today. I ruined it when I kept sharing that snow was possible several times this week. Muwahahahaha.....everyone here knows me as the "crazy guy who loves snow."

    Yeah. It’d be great to get a more classic LP coming from the south. If nothing else, it’ll take a lot more work for it to arrive in Jamestown. Didn’t we have one do that? Lol

    I actually am very fortunate to have the luxury of doing this.  A group of friends from Boston are renting a house up there and I'm just a late add on that can either come or go (Doesn't change anything either way).  I'll be making a game time decision Wed/Thurs.  

    I have a planned trip to Snow Ridge. How great would it be to in the mountains for a big one? I too would cry if I went east and it went west. Not sure I can back out…

    Obviously this is before the GFS 6z..

    On Friday morning there will be a few separate pieces spread out
    over portions of the conus that will come together to make for a
    potentially potent weekend storm system. A potent upper level trough
    and low over the southwestern US and Southern Rockies tracking
    mostly due east, a potent trough over the southern Canadian Prairies
    tracking southeast, and a weak disturbance over the Gulf of Mexico
    with high moisture content. As the two troughs track toward the
    Tennessee Valley from Friday morning through Saturday morning, an
    area of low pressure will form over the lower Mississippi Valley
    ahead of the southern trough on Friday evening, picking up the
    moisture from the GOMEX disturbance. With the amplitude of the
    southern trough the area of low pressure will track north-northeast
    along the western side of the Appalachians. As the two troughs phase
    over the Tennessee Valley, the area of low pressure will begin to
    rapidly strengthen over the Ohio Valley and WNY, potentially bombing
    out. Rapid deepening seems especially possible between the Tennessee
    Valley and the St. Lawrence Valley, where some guidance is
    suggesting pressure drops of ~30 mb in 18 hours. Currently, guidance
    is tracking this system northeast over a few different areas, the
    GFS is directly over WNY, the Euro over CNY, and the Canadian over
    ENY. Track of the storm will be key in the potential for rain vs.
    snow, and how windy it may get for Western and North Central NY. For
    now going with a slightly more east solution, resulting in a bit of
    a quicker change over from rain to snow, with likely POPs from late
    Friday evening through Saturday morning. There are a lot of parts to
    this storm scenario, and any changes in location or timing for the
    different parts mentioned above will have the potential to cause
    significant changes to the forecast.

    This is good news. Say what you want, these guys are good.
