1/2/14 Storm

Surprised nobody has jumped on this yet. Seems to be pretty good odds of snowfall

I think people are getting sick of talking about that date you almost got to senior prom.

I tried to post it this AM, but couldn't from iPhone.  Three events from the NWS Albany:

1. Tuesday Alberta Clipper: "ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS...LOOK FOR 3-6  INCHES OF FLUFFY SNOW. WE DID NOT ISSUE AN SNOW ADVISORY JUST YET...BUT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN LATER TONIGHT."

2. Thursday Noreaster: "WE WILL BE DEALING WITH  POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT SNOW EVENT STARTING THURSDAY... POSSIBLY  LASTING INTO FRIDAY.    "

3. Sunday: "ANOTHER POTENTIALLY BIG STORM...WITH LOW  PRESSURE EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AS IT TRACKS ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES.   SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR THE BRUNT OF THIS  SYSTEM... WHICH LOOKS TO BRING ENOUGH WARM AIR FOR A WINTRY MIX OR EVEN RAIN INSTEAD OF ALL SNOW. AS COLD AIR WRAPS BEHIND IT... A  
TRANSITION TO A LAKE EFFECT FLOW WILL ALLOW FOR ANY MIXED  PRECIPITATION TO CHANGE TO ALL SNOW ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS AND WESTERN ZONES BEYOND MONDAY."

I don't like the third one as much, but maybe it will track further South as it is nearly a week out.

TJ is right as far as I'm concerned.  Was staying away from it.

Forecast looks very promising.

  If the Euro model holds true, the Cats appear to be included in the 12-18" zone. Could be time for me to burn some New England vouchers however. Southernmost I've got are MRG, and Sugarbush. I know they're both a hoot with 18" of fresh snow.  I just happen to be off Friday too, gotta love when the stars align. That much sweeter after being meteorologicaly pissed on lately.

Guys like me may have an exceptionally hard drive to the goods:

I'll take scenario one for $200, Alex.

Heading to Jay tomorrow for a few days. My posse members already there report that conditions have been a little "scrapey."

We are trying to figure out if it is worth it to go back for two days. Watching the forecast closely.

Happy New Year:

NWS seems to be slowly moving towards including the north in a bigger way:



That GFS map is drunk as usual:



And the WRF is still showing a more southern storm:

Ngm is much drier
Looks like a Catskills event.

Looks like I might be camping out at lax

looks like 6-10 at Gore to me...

already 3 - 4 inches of snow in Lake George

How is gore doing?

6 inchees so far, looks like 10 inches is likely.

The snow has started in the flatlands and it's coming down really hard.

NJ has a state of emergency in place and a winter storm warning. Meanwhile, Hamilton County NY has a winter weather advisory for potentially greater accumulations. I should have known better than to go to the grocery store this afternoon.

I think every flatlander needs to spend a winter up north, learning how to drive in, and more importantly, deal with snow and the cold. It's kind of sad how much people overreact to snow around these parts...
