Gore Mountain Weather 08/09 Part 1

[Harvey44]

I gotta say I think the NWS forecast I just posted is way optimistic based on the forecast temps. We shall see. Let's hope I'm wrong.

I know this is not all stoke. I think I'm cranky because what's his name posted his TR in my weather thread.

Is it honeslty that big of a deal to you? My bad, but I think you're over reacting a bit...
I deleted it for ya though.

Two of the Albany weathermen (6 and 13) have Gore just within the area that's supposed to get 6-12 inches

Yeah but I have found the local weather guys are not as accurate as the national ones NWS,Weather Channel, Accuweather,etc.. I guess it is a wait and see type of storm.

2" of wet glop this morning. Overall though, we survived the "ncp" ok.

[Harvey44]

The trajectory on the lake effect is just about perfect this afternoon, with radar showing it coming up a bit short. At times in the past when the radar was showing bands coming up short...locals have indicated that snow was falling up top. Any reports welcome.

 

[Harvey44]

Contrary to what NWS is calling for... the radar shows a switch from NCP to something frozen:

 

[megatron]

Light freezing rain this morning quickly changed to sleet and now snow.

Lucky dog

You lucky dog. Wish I could sneak out on my lunch break and get in a few runs. Thanks for the update - the radar on accuweather didn't look to promising.

What's it look like for trails open this weekend? I'm going to be up for Sat & Sun.

i was afraid it wasnt going to be so hot this weekend. between mega's post and that, im a bunchhh more optomistic.
any idea how much new snow they got/are expecting?

 

[Harvey44]

I don't have any real "facts" but I'm up here at 2000' and on our porch since last Sunday was about 2 inches that is pretty crunchy. Still I think it would groom up nicely.

Sunday am should be sweet if the clipper comes through.

I'll finally be making a appearance Friday - possibly Thursday. Looks like they'll be getting a few inches nightly as the week progresses.
