Storm Speculation 2/6-2/7, 2020

Hey folks- when you post that it’s puking/nuking/dumping snow like crazy “right here” please post your location! Inquiring minds want to know!

My son is at Plattsburgh.  A foot on the ground and puking snow.

funny my son in plattsburgh. not sure if he went to ice face today or not

My son didn’t head over today....I’d rather not have him driving in this storm anyway.  He’ll meet up with us tomorrow.

My guy has done the last couple weekends solo.  If yours is ever looking for someone to catch a ride or ski with we can get them together!

Forecast for WF (summit) for tomorrow just keeps getting worse.  High temp -3, west wind 45-50 mph, gusting to 65, with wind chills as low as -41.  

Maybe Gore is the better call for tomorrow....

How about Between HP Wilderness and Siamese Ponds wilderness - that's as close as I'll come to a lat-lon.

Seems quite likely.

The most recent NOAA discussion has the low moving quickly to the northeast, with snow in the WF region ending before midnight.  Calling for winds to abate some after midnight.  Hope it’s not too “breezy” tomorrow!

Sunday should be nice.  Sunny and warmer.

And that's why my target is Sun & Mon, well along with what I think will be a huge crowd day at Gore tomorrow. If we get a blast of cold that will help dry out the snow some as well. Groomers will be nice, glades will be tracked. I had my Pow days last week in Utah - I'm good with a few hours of crus'in.

Hoping it's cold but not too windy for the lifts to turn at Whiteface tomorrow. Somewhat betting on low temps keeping crowds down.
