RGEM and NAM combo rocketing the warm mid-levels in is certainly pause for concern but I would still hold out for 0z/12z Euro, HRRR and various WRF models to confirm the trend tomorrow.
Oh' yeah, can be epic but very elevation dependent. Sierra's and Cascades are float in the pow or sink in the cement (sometimes swim in the puddles).
Rockies = consistency. Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming are often safer bets for conditions.
Let them go. Winter goes until mid-March in NW MA and since I'm resigned to a cool and possibly damp spring, we may as well have snow chances into April. I mean jeez, my ski season doesn't generally start until February.
Hopefully we can follow it up with a day or two of freight train winds to close the upper lifts.
I should know better than to make ski plans for Presidents weekend since the Grinch loves to visit then. His 2nd favorite ski holiday to ruin.
When we relocate I will advertise exclusively on the forum and promote our neighborhood as an ideal, SNE, weather weenie snow retention neighborhood.
We lack the elevation for marginal events but the snow retention is second to none!
