Winter Weather 2017-2018

a lot of that is lake effect due the north winds
6-10 for the mountains seems like a good bet...depends if things get glazed over with freezing rain before the snow..if it does then the snow might be meaningless

How could 6-10” be meaningless even if it’s frozen underneath its step 1 of rebuilding and I’m sure it will ski “ok”

i said meaningless because the snow will have a difficult time bonding..with the strong wind , it will be blown down wind...

Well, meaningless on many of the trails, and for general overall conditions for the masses.  Of course if the snow doesn’t bond well and blows off the trails......it’s gonna go somewhere!

Mike......you need to start thinking like a backcountry guy.  Rain crusts and new snow don’t go well together!

Ha yeh I know, I know....pretty sure I’ll know where to find it tho if this materializes

Hope you all have a good weekend!

6-10 inches of snow is never meaningless in the east.

Harv,

Amen.  Can either save the day on the hill, or rue the day augured into in the ditch on the Access Rd. @ Mt. Nowhere.

Ski You On The Hill,

Agreed for sure

I bet I lost half the snowpack in my backyard in O-ville as of 6pm tonight...

interesting some locations in the valleys never went above 40 today, look at this station in north creek:

it must sit in a protected low spot..

10pm Lake Placid - freezing rain/sleet 33 degrees...

Tending in the right direction I think....

Just got to North Creek.  37 degrees as we pulled in around 10:00.  Gruesome rain and temps on the way up.

It was 63 in jer-z when I left....60 in Albany around 5:30....yikes

Still raining here in North Creek at 11:30.  This sucks!

Gore is going to get 2-4 inches, that has been my forecast for them.  Its going to take at least a week to recover

This is a dramatic comparison... precip vs snowfall...

This looks pretty official now.


This week looks cold.

-25 F currently here SW corner of ADKs.  Only 80 degrees cooler than 40 hours ago.   Actual temp not wind (which is calm)
