new LES predicted for Thursday and Friday

jefferson and st lawrence counties now under no travel warnings 3- 4. Ftdown , howling winds , NOW a second LES storm prwdicted for Thursday and Friday will deliver ANOTHER. 2 ft

Friday looks like it might be a good day for Snow Ridge, especially if they don't open.

Anybody else in?

I've been thinking the same thing although Friday is not possible for me. I am hoping for Thursday.
Looking at the cumulative snowfall map shows that the bulk of the snow is just north so the band will have to move a little south to make it worth while.

Not true for that place. Better off open. You can ski untracked all day anyway

But they haven't got into the action yet anyway

Hopefully the winds and snow will shift to the South later in the week.
From Snow Ridge Facebook:
If we were to get 30" + we would most like open Sat

If they open, I'll be there. Powder turns before Thanksgiving, hopefully, gotta love it!

Looked like snow ridge got whalloped last night - the band moved south and they are getting buried, Even McCauley is on the edge and they are a lot closer to me, I may get some early season dawn patrol!


From McCauley's webcam

I wouldn't say whalloped. About 10. Constableville close

LEWIS COUNTY...
   BEAVER FALLS          16.0   700 AM 11/19  COCORAHS

The snow also is currently north of there

Also wouldn't get too excited about MaCauley just yet

The band moved back North but that may change tonight. We will see how the bands set up tonight and tomorrow.

The snow came back, we will see what the end of the day looks like.
