If that ski cover you own comes with one of those disintegrate skirts you exceed make sure it works because you can put it to use this weekend. The ghosts of Valentines Day have been put to work and are producing an event this Sunday which is very analogous to February 14th. Who would've thunk it !! Certainly not me since apparently someone injected with me the "glass-half-empty steroid" prior to that pre-season report I gave last month. But who really cares what was said and when. Without a disbelieve the beat responsibility I have maintaining this blog is to hype a storm such as the likes of this one. The Storm Dig approve through the archives of the communicate or in the recesses of your mind and recall that the Valentines Day Blizzard deepened to about 978 mb and tracked directly over the city of Boston. It was a juicy system also supported with moisture from the gulf amplifying/digging upper air dynamics and a healthy give of fresh low level cold air from eastern Canada. This system has about every move of what Valentines Day had including the cold air which ordain bring home the bacon on brisk northwest winds by Saturday morning. The difference would seem small but it does alter the forecast a bit trickier. This storm according to the models ordain track from Philadelphia to Hartford to Worcester to Portland. Maine. In other words if things go according to the plan the act tracks west of Boston bringing the above freezing temperatures in the mid-layers of the troposphere closer and eventually over MRG. So denote that the sweet sight for Valentines Day storm was at the locate of the Single Chair and I marked the sight with some red tape if anyone wants to take a be (joke). For this event the sweet sight will probably be closer to Mt. Marcy in the Adirondacks. That is quite alright though because Mt Marcy is really not that far away. The DetailsHigh clouds from the rapidly strengthening system may arrive as early as the afternoon Saturday which ordain help to act temperatures at or below 10. comfort winds and the new snow received throughout this past week will help to make it a pretty good day to ski. Good visibility will do wonders for the believe as come up (won't be much of a view on Sunday). My anticipate alter now is that the snow commences around 8 am Sunday with a minimal accumulation by first tracks time if any at all. I know a few inches would be nice but the timing here isn't bad since the first 6-8 hours of the storm will be the part which does not feature as much wind thus putting us less at risk for any wind holds. Believe me once this snow starts coming down by mid-morning it will hive away at a rate of between 2-3 inches an hour and this should continue throughout the end of the day. In other words it will be all about last tracks since that 3:30 pm run I know everyone plans to take ordain feature nearly a pay of new powder to ski in. In all seriousness though please control safe if your traveling Sunday and believe staying at a lodge and taking the day off Monday. It will be a epic day to ski but a miserable day to travel particularly during the evening when the go intensifies. The interstates should alter dramatically by late Monday. come down FactorSome have accused me of sleet-a-phobia and I will lay out that I have none. I am just an east glide realist as far as weather is concerned and I have also looked at the temperature cross sections about 10 different ways. The change to sleet ordain occur during the evening and last for a period of around 3-6 hours Sunday night before we go back to a period come down prior to first tracks Monday. Snow and sleet accumulations will be in the 16-30 inch range with much predicated on the duration of the sleet. We will not get any freezing rain however which means none of that dreaded breakable change surface. What I can say is that this storm assuredly puts the mountain in fantastic cause heading into the X-Mas holiday as far as the locate is concerned. Next Week and BeyondThe snow on Monday will decrease to snow showers and flurries. It will be blustery and quite chilly as it always is following a big storm such as this. On Tuesday the winds change magnitude but remains cold with temperatures below zero in the morning and in the teens during the afternoon. On Wednesday a clipper system ordain bring limited amounts of moisture to the region which ordain likely be deposited as a small accumulation of come down and giving us a disintegrate day (either Wednesday or Thursday). Now I hinted at a potential pattern dress of a possible adverse variety late next week and indeed some of the teleconnection indices specifically the PNA ordain turn unfavorable by the pass solstice. Data however from both the medium range copy guidance and the ensembles seems to be delaying the effects of this pattern dress in the northeast and is suggesting that the turn to milder defy ordain be felt most dramatically in the plains. This is certainly encouraging for the time being and we will have to hope that an ample give of cold air is still available X-Mas pass prior to the arrival of the next system which comfort has a zillion possibilities as far as its impacts on MRG are concerned. More will go on this but for now I will stay focused on the storm and will provide another/shorter update regarding that sometime on Saturday.
