Winter Weather 2015-2016

As of now it is unlikely, that there will be any meaningful accumulation over the weekend, into early next week..

Just a bunch of snow showers followed by some arctic air latter in the period.. This might be our last chance , depressing..

peace and love

Here's how foreign the concept of snow is this year.  In Dutchess Co. the forecast is for 1 to 3 today and it was lightly snowing, nothing on the ground.   They delayed, and if the flurries persist I bet they cancel!  Ha!!!

Here's how frustrating the snow is this year.  Headed south through Yonkers and into the city and, while there's nothing on the ground further north, it looks like winter wonderland down by NYC.

And you guys wonder why I shoot every single woodchuck I can

I haven't even had to snow blow my driveway this year. I can't EVER remember a year not having to do that.

Ain't over 'till the fat lady sings.....keep the faith!

I used my snowblower for an inch of snow once this year just so I could still justify owning a snowblower. Sad face.

I used mine twice.

Yours is cooler.

I went out and started my tractor a couple weeks ago just to make sure it still would. Hadn't used it since November.

We're getting hammered in central MA right now.   Yesterday we were on the 1"-3"/2"-5" zone,  and now they've upgraded us to 9-12" about am hour ago.  We've already gotten close to 9".  Roads are a disaster, but it might actually be worth going to Wachusett tonight.  As much as I like it, I wish it was hitting further north.

Made my way out to Syosset area this morning around 7 and the whole trip looked like a full on winter storm; now I just heard from my wife its mostly melted at home already

Skiing Berkshire East tomorrow and Mount Snow on Sunday.  They both got a couple inches.  I hope to post TR's.

Looks like the storm has wandered away.

NWS Albany Long Term Discussion

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY/...

A FAIRLY ACTIVE PERIOD IS EXPECTED DURING THE LONG TERM PERIOD WITH
A GREAT DEAL OF CLOUDINESS AND SOME SNOW EXPECTED DURING THE MONDAY
NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT TIME FRAME.

ON MONDAY NIGHT A CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM WILL MOVE INTO THE EASTERN
GREAT LAKES AS A SECONDARY AREA OF LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE
DELMARVA PENINSULA. THE MODELS ARE IN FAIRLY GOOD AGREEMENT THAT
THERE WILL ONLY BE MINOR IMPACTS FROM THESE SYSTEMS. BY WEDNESDAY
MORNING THE COASTAL LOW WILL BE UP IN THE CANADIAN MARITIMES AS THE
CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM MOVES ACROSS THE FA FOLLOWED BY AN UPPER LEVEL
TROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT. IN THE WAKE OF THE CLIPPER TYPE SYSTEM
EXPECT SOME LAKE EFFECT SNOW DOWNWIND OF LAKE ONTARIO LATE WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY MORNING. SINCE THIS IS NO LONGER EXPECTED TO BRING A
SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TO OUR REGION WE WILL BE REMOVING THE MENTION
OF SIGNIFICANT SNOW FROM OUR HWO. THE 12Z GEFS PLUME DIAGRAM FOR
ALBANY GENERALLY HAS A RANGE OF A TENTH TO TWO TENTHS OF AN INCH
FROM TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY WITH A FEW MEMBERS SHOWING UP TO
FOUR TENTHS OF AN INCH OF QPF.

Annnnd Rebecca has a different idea, and it's porno positive:

Looking nice and cold next weekend. -30C line is around Lake Placid and -20c down to NYC.

Dude acts like skiing requires electricity

Let's hold his feet to fire regarding this bold forecast.

bold indeed..
next weekend will be cold as heck..as far as snow , i wouldn't be surprised if Jay and the spine of the Greens picks up some nice orographic snows..

the models are flip flopping with a major warm up in long range..

peace and love

I wonder if 0.25" of water will give them 4 feet of blower like it did in Oct 2010.

That ain't happening...

Looks like persistent  snow showers and some light snow...as of now far from a game changer...

the fat lady has entered the building...

peace and love

Yikes!  The M-F Whiteface forecast is showing a high temp Saturday of -15 at 1,700 ft, -27 at 4,800 ft.  Wind chills pushing -40 to -60.

Severe cold can keep people off the hill so I don't mind it generally.  Bundling up and being smart when ski day temps never get more than a few degrees either side of 0 is one thing.  -15 to -30 gets more dangerous.  Even though wind are only forecast around 10 to 20 mph, those wind chills will be brutal.
