Winter Weather 22/23

Is today snow control day for WUG? Is it possible they will pull the plug on it?

WUG folks are taking over the Tahawus room in the base lodge and dining/banquet room in the Tannery Restaurant starting today at Gore, so there’s that.

Killington pulled off their World Cup event and it was warm before their snowmaking came to the rescue.

And methinks any and all snowmaking post rain will be dedicated to this and this only at Gore and WF from here out instead of like resurfacing trails or getting terrain open. No. Bueno.
 
Piss drunk?
Most likely but the warm weather looks to have hid evidence.

There’s been some strong winds in The Upstate when that last storm went thru and may have bent it.
If it’s pointing NE it could due to that wind and/or some or all of the above theoreticals.

Looks like possibly some solid upslope savior snow over the next several days, at least up north.

.LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/...
As of 445 AM EST Wednesday...Some lingering snow showers are possible
Friday night, primarily in higher elevations with ridging moving
into the region helping minimize lift aside from terrain-driven
ascent.
Ridging may be accompanied by a cold frontal passage
Saturday morning, although degree of low level advection is unclear
based on model variance of the strength of the front. Regardless,
temperatures should trend colder and skies more clear as the weekend
progresses, with generally seasonable conditions.


A mix of deterministic and ensemble data now supports a light
snowfall for Monday associated with a southern stream shortwave
trough, with greater probabilities south and east with development
of a weak coastal storm. Precipitation is currently in the slight
chance category, but if these trends continue, will see much greater
probabilities as we get closer. While air temperatures are forecast
to rise above freezing in most spots, would expect wet bulb
temperatures to be low enough that if precipitation does occur highs
will be lower than currently indicated. The configuration of the jet
stream does not suggest a big storm for our region, but any snow
would be welcome given the lack of snow in recent weeks
. Following
this system, as is often the case once we move into day 7 there is
particularly large model disagreement with large scale weather
systems, so have followed the NBM with the idea of seasonably cold
and dry conditions.
