I'm going to do a deep dive into how forecasting works for storms, or at least how I forecast as some places like the NWS has automated tools to aid that help them whereas I and most others who focus on a subset of the weather do this in a slightly old-school way that is more visual and we use our neurons exclusively to make computations beyond what the models provide. It will be a little long, but many of you asked for it when polled and the prospect of some snow has my winter adrenalyn running strong for the first time since April.
This storm is really just a tease with just some marginally freezing temperatures that could kick off some snow in the northern reaches of the Northeast and also Quebec, with some snowmaking likely, but nothing that will survive a warm up before the next cold hit.
This Post Is for Free and Premium Subscribers
We are also going to do another test run and only Free and Premium subscribers will be able to read the post. All subscribers will get a copy in email that can be read in their email program, but we want people to log into the site before the season actually starts as we sometimes get support requests and unfortunately when following links from Facebook you have to skip past Facebook's external browser when you see the big red alert we've designed, so this is good practice. Unfortunately Facebook has locked their mobile browser down and you cannot log in to our site using it and must make a couple of clicks to use an external browser when following links from Facebook on mobile devices. It's easy once you get use to it and our subscribers get these posts in their email immediately but you should make sure that you can log into our site. We'll unfortunately be messaging about this from time to time because it causes tons of confusion and we can't fix it.
Storm coverage will only be available to paying subscribers this season, and that includes our snowfall maps, precipitation types, wind holds, driving coverage, and forecasting discussions as well as other perks like deep discounts for skiing off your pass to discover new and unique places. It's just $29.99/year and a good time to get this out of the way. The price may go up in December based on how many subscribers we have and how many discount partners we have signed up but it will still be an incredible value and insurance for the enjoyment of your ski season where our average follower spends over $5,000/season on skiing.
