The biggest issue with the mountains is all the micro climates we have. There can be huge variations in snowfall, rainfall, temps ect, ect, in just a mile difference.
Yeah I mean the story of this winter is hedge on a warmer less snowy solution and you'll be ok. Sadly so far this winter has been extremely lackluster. But we don't complain much in the mountain thread. We take what we can get. We can still pull a rabbit out of the hat as late as April around here...
We will just sit back and let it come to us. I really think it will happen in the next 2 to 4 weeks. A wide range but I just like our chances going forward.
The GFS looks good to me for some wintery weather this weekend. With a mix bag to start then to rain then a prolonged upslope event with pulses of energy wrapping around the low.
