Sunday Nor’easter?

[b632]

The local weather guys are starting to hype a Sunday storm…should i clear my schedule for the 8TH? What do you weather geeks think?

[Mr. Vesper]

Buy a bottle of Jack, and rest up at home.

[shot ski]

I wouldn't quite yet, but things start to get interesting after sunday they should start getting some snow next week

[DoubleBitter]

Too early to tell -- it all will depend on the storm track.

[WrathOfAramark]

Early model runs looks like more of a southern New England storm. Maybe 4"-6" up on the ski hills?

Models are hinting at something later on the 10th that might be more potent for northern New England, but we gotta get closer and past this weekend first for it to clear up.

Ski em like you stole em

Maybe the storm is getting a little closer to the coast! I’ll hang out till Monday to see what happens. Fortune favors the prepared… then we have Wednesday

[SpillwayEast]

Any new snow is good but this will amount to a little more than dust on crust...........still going to be firm under the 2-4" sloaf might see.

Trending to stay cold in the mountains with cold air being trapped up against the mountains. SL and SB should stay mostly snow with 12"-18" being the current NWS forecast. SR might get less snow and more rain, although it looks like any elevation will be your friend. More concerned about high winds again and power outages, again. If you need gas for your generator, might be good to get it now.

Wednesday and Saturday big potential, another one in the pipeline for early next week. Pattern is definitely busy, just need to bring the pieces together right now they are a bit west of where sugarloaf and the northeast like em.

Looks like it could be in that range by Wednesday morning, but a switch to rain around 9 or 10. Net positive but just as base material. Wind on loaded trees could be bad.

Bullseye!

Most models showing 2-3' by sunday morning between the next two storms.

Followed by almost 2" of rain.

^^^^This, it has been amazing how the professional meteorologist are choosing not to mention how a half to three quarters of an inch of rain will fall during the day on Wednesday in the mountains. Yes even on the top of Sugarloaf. They should have their credentials suspended.

Hope not but he did write..."The storm will stay mainly snow in the mountains..."
Still, it is never a good thing when Jim Cantore is prowling around and getting excited about coming up to Maine for live shot!

Looks like the rain/snow line will end up around 2400 ft according to OpenSnow. If it trends a bit in our favor, it should be all snow above peavy cross cut. Either way, perfect base building material.

I think Keiths map is showing total preip, it doesn't differentiate the difference between rain and snow. It looks like sugarloaf stays above freeezing till sunrise tomorrow, maybe 7-8am. By then 1.6" of water (10-16" of snow ) should have fallen. There is maybe a half inch of water left on the backside as rain. Either way it will be a beautiful bullet proof wind blown base ready for the next storm.

Cat is correct… I was looking at the morning/afternoon/evening breakdown not the hourly. Only seeing .3 of rain on the hourly though. This is the storm we need!

[gondicar]

Snowing like a sonofabitch in northern Cumberland county. Would be nice if it would only stay frozen!

[BubbleCuffer97]

14" and still dumping. Let's go!

Could be the first Skidway only day of the season
**UPDATE 8:10AM: All lifts with the exception of Skidway will start the day on wind hold. We're starting to see a changeover from snow to sleet as we start the day.

You can text 'Weather' to 603.356.2137 and it will reply with the current temp and wind at the top of Mt Washington..........pretty cool.

Didn’t switch over here at my condo a little below the base until around 10. Solid 14 inches on the deck and I mean heavy! Perfect base material. Might even get out on the hill a little later.

Good to hear
