Anyone know what sort of predictions they are saying? Looks like the storm is going south and VT isn't going to get a significant amount. Hopefully it turns slightly north and we get at least 8 inches +
 
Yea hoping NYC gets crushed so I can work from home. Than again NYC is a nightmare in the winter with the snow it turns into grey crap that dirties everything

Yeah way to rub it in dood. The big one, hitting millions who will bitch and moan like cunts. Let's all pop popcorn and watch it not hit us on TWC.
 
Instead of going north to VT, the Cats or ADKs I am going to travel southwest to good ol Shawnee Mtn or something in PA.. POW!
 
A STRONG WINTER STORM IS FORECAST TO MOVE UP THE ATLANTIC COAST

LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. POTENTIALLY HEAVY SNOW

IS POSSIBLE FROM THE WYOMING VALLEY AND POCONOS AREAS OF NORTHEAST

PA INTO SULLIVAN COUNTY NY. THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY FOR

HOW FAR INLAND THE ACCUMULATING SNOW WILL REACH...BUT IT IS

PROBABLE THAT THERE WILL BE A SHARP CUTOFF BETWEEN AREAS THAT

RECEIVE HEAVY SNOW...AND THOSE THAT RECEIVE VERY LITTLE. MONITOR

THE FORECAST AS THE EVENT DRAWS NEARER. IF CONFIDENCE FOR HEAVY

SNOW INCREASES...A WINTER STORM WATCH MAY BE ISSUED.
 
I've never seen people over react about a storm that hasn't even finished coming off the pacific yet.

Holy fuck. Such a big deal.

News flash. Winter. It snows.

Also VT won't get much with this.

How can you say that? Of course I'm going to overreact when I've barely skied five days this year. Others in NY still haven't gotten a day in. I would go crazy over any amount at this point.

Last winter was the same shit. And the one before that. And the one before that. Where have you been? Weather stations hype it up to sell ads. Skiers hype it up to get stoked for skiing.

My family is in the oil business, so my father subscribes to some meteorologist emails that provide both long & short term forecasts. Below is wednesday's.

1:45 PM... Wednesday...

WHAT WE ARE CONFIDENT ABOUT

1. Excessive, possibly historic, snow totals for parts of VA/MD/DE; extreme coastal flood event possible

2. Heavy snows expand northward into and across Philly / NYC/LI area during Friday with 10 to 15 inch averages; locally to 18 inches

3. Extremely tight snow gradient will exist from north of NYC into southeastern NY & southern CT

4. Coastal CT, extreme southeastern NY about 50 miles north of NYC, southern RI and far southeastern MA/Cape Cod areas most likely areas to see more than 3 inches of snow with some 6 inch totals possible

5. Snow amounts may taper to 1 to 2 inches by the time we get to I-84 corridor in CT...

6. Little or no snow at all possible across far northern CT/southern Massachusetts on northward.

7. No travel issues expected across north of NYC region into or through Saturday morning

8. If travel disruptions do develop across southeastern NY, southern CT, southern RI and southeastern Massachusetts they are most likely late Saturday afternoon / evening

WHAT UNCERTAINTIES STILL EXIST

1. Some of the modeling continues to suggest moderate to heavy snow will expand across all of southwestern CT northward to about the I-84 corridor with measureable snow to the CT/MA border; this scenario is not supported by the most reliable model and for now is being given less weight.

2. It would only take a 50 mile northward shift in the storm pattern and jet stream flow to have heavy snow overwhelm the vast majority of southeastern NY and Southern New England?

3. Any southward shift would quickly remove the entire area north of NYC from any measureable snowfall

GIVEN THE INHERENT ERROR POTENTIAL WITH ANY 3 DAY STORM FORECAST, NO ONE CAN DISMISS THE POTENTIAL FOR A 50 MILE SHIFT IN THE STORM SETUP OVER THE NEXT 3 DAYS. SO WHILE THE IDEAS STATED ABOVE HAVE THE GREATEST POTENTIAL TO VERIFY GIVEN THE MODEL TRENDS, WE WILL NEED TO MONITOR THE STORM'S EVOLUTION EVERY 12 HOURS OR SO TO SEE IF ANY DETECTABLE TRACK SHIFT IS STARTING...

FOR NOW, THE EMPHASIS IS ON THE MIDDLE ATLANTIC REGION WITH HEAVY SNOW COMING EXTREMELY CLOSE TO COASTAL CT LATE SATURDAY...

NO PLANS SHOULD BE CHANGED OR MODIFIED AT THIS TIME if you live north of NYC...

Its the end of January everything is normal on the east coast mountains are fully open at this point pow days are nice but the shredding is fine right now as someone already said just enjoy watching people to the south squirm and treat this like Armageddon you can now travel to the hill safely and have no worries or returning home to shovelling.
