please, no . . .

Following two clippers (tues & thurs) that will drop some more snow on the north country, the meteo-geeks are calling for a significant rain/ice event for Sun/Mon. Please, Ullr, don't let this happen.

I'm seeing snow north of Portland...and almost all the mountains are north of portland

damn. at least my season is over after sunday.

Well, the forecast has moderated somewhat, calling for chance of ice/sleet in central/northern VT. Cold air is supposed to follow Thursday's clipper (which could drop up to 6", btw), so maybe just maybe, enough can hang on to beat back the rain? I'm crossing my fingers that Killington's altitude works in its favor, as I've seen it do in the past. From the discussions and maps, it looks like the northern mtns (Jay, Smuggs, etc.) could see all snow? I'll be glued to the various meteo websites, because the season's just begun and I don't want it to end!! Pour some libations for Ullr . . .

We're still at least 5 days out.... and you know how they like to change the reports.... prior to weekends, it's all rosy for the media marketing blitz and then post weekend, maybe the truth... It'll change again.... and again.... and again.

How right you are, PWDR8S!

According to WMUR the storm looks to head south of us...total bummer. I haven't had nearly enough snow days this year. And not even ski/snowboard days, I mean just days where I'm 'forced' to stay at home and not work all day.

Here's to a snowy March!

Good for you(?I guess?)

Bad for everyone else....

I'm going to be rocking into June this year...

[boardman]

Ditto - planning trip to Breck in late March, and to Mt. Jefferson (Ore.) in June. I want more WINTER!

Sorry to hear that? or, congratulations?

Okay, seeing as I started this post with the then predicted doom and gloom, which didn't pan out, I'm hoping this post will have the same effect on this Friday's current forecast. 'Cause if this thing is on the borderline and it turns to r***, it could effectively spell the end of the season (and from the forecasts, it doesn't look like places even as far north as Jay will be spared). Here's the current GFS precip type prediction:

I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[davidhowland14]

wunderground is slightly more optimistic.








and then this comes...








looks like some blank spots over the jiminy/greylock area...*crosses fingers*...with snow and isolated areas of rain and ice, followed by snow all of saturday with more isolated areas of ice. and then snow for the next couple days. *knock on wood* doesn't look that bad.

and i meant my resort ski season is over. a couple bc trips are still left, hopefully. this storm had better not kill the t-bolt...and the end of the ski season is bad, bad, bad for me.

[PWDR8S]

Thanks David..... those maps look a whole lot better and make me feel even better! Now let's everybody THINK SNOW for New England!
