Storm Speculation: 12/14/13

Stars are starting to line up for a  significant storm this weekend.. Get ready for a roller coster ride with the models..

CNY getting any, or is this North......kinda, sorta getting the itch to ski. POW sure would make my decision a lot easier.

That's Fake Effect.  It'll fall where it's largely wasted.  I'd ski it if I lived near the Tug Hill too but nobody (in their right minds) would travel to a plateau to go skiing - I don't care how much falls there.  

It will snow this weekend because I have to work...guarantee.

I thought about that but Sunday too?  At this point that looks like the $ day.  Things can change though.

If it comes in big I may just stay in Winkytown on you guys' couch.  Yes, I'll be in your kitchen drunk and bangin' stuff around after midnight.  So you have that to look forward to.

WF. That's an icy mountain.   I'd ski it if I lived near LP too but nobody (in their right minds) would travel to a ice rink to go skiing - I don't care how thick the ice is

I'm not going to have that pointless conversation.  I don't know why you chose to take my comments personally; some people just NEED to be offended.

I wish there was better terrain in the LE favored areas.  There's not.  Whatever.

Spoken like a true skidder.

yes sunday too..hence it will snow

ha! that's funny.  Actually quite a few of us on this forum moved particularly to the area to ski whiteface.  if you had only spoken up 10+ years ago!

NY and the Hinterlands looking good in the Canadian model. Snow totals in inches by Sunday:

The "Canadian model".  Who cares about the "Canadian Model"?  Let me guess, it's really polite and never pisses anybody off, but it's incredibly boring and pretty much ignored by the entire world.


I want you to delete that post and don't argue with me about it.  Then you should apologize for posting it in the first place.  

Storm still on track to bring moderate snows, to the entire region. Still to early to give amounts.
