thanks for that 'tron project Harv. Mega useful. very interesting. Glad we harv it.

i wonder if 150 inches is traditionally Gore's average snowfall. i seem to recall reading about Gore 8 years ago and they said something like 180 or maybe 220 inches average snowfall. Anybody know for sure? Are we losing snowfall?

It's weird Gore doesn't release annual snowfall info anymore. I know they used to. What gives?

Someone should make a FOIL request

Wholly Snike! North central Pennsylvania is forecasted to get 4-12 inches of snow by Saturday morning.

I admit it...I don't know...what's a FOIL request?

Hey I know this won't amount to anything, but it's a pretty cool forecast for October:

Freedom of information.......Like does anyone know what Gore used to receive for annual snowfall say 10 yrs ago?

A FOIL request refers to the freedom of information law This act allows for the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased information and documents controlled by the United States Government. The Act defines agency records subject to disclosure, outlines mandatory disclosure procedures and grants nine exemptions to the statute.

Amazing how the posting drops way down when the temps rise. Not just here but all across the internets...AZ, FTO, etc....now that the Sunday River thing has died down. I been hard pressed to find any thing stokeworthy to post weatherwise. Sure has been beautiful by the standard definition. But I'm one of those nutcases that likes it cold and cloudy.

OK. There is probably nothing less reliable than an Accuweather 15 day forecast. This really makes me laugh:



So count on it. Snow showers in the morning on Friday Nov 6.

One thing that I do believe is that long term TEMP forecasts are slightly more reliable than long term PRECIP forecasts. So here's what I got....colder than seasonable temps returning around the first of the month:



If I was smart, I'da started an "Adk Ski Weather 09/10" thread in the General Discussion, to cut down on my post count. Definitely will take that approach next year.

here's a bone to gnaw on.

At least they are using the word "cold" here and there...

LONG TERM from NWS ALY

SUN NT-WED... PROGRESSIVELY COLDER TEMPERATURES...AND GENERALLY DRY CONDITIONS WITHIN THE VALLEYS. HOWEVER...WITH THE COLDER AIR TRAVERSING THE RELATIVELY TEPID GREAT LAKES WATERS...SOME LAKE EFFECT/ENHANCED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE ACROSS NW AREAS...WITH THE TREND TOWARD SNOW SHOWERS BY TUE NT INTO WED.

DEPENDING ON THE TRACK OF AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE...SHOWERS OF RAIN OR SNOW COULD EVEN REACH VALLEY AREAS...FROM ALBANY N AND W...ON TUE...COOLING A BIT BY WED. OVERNIGHT MINS WILL MAINLY RANGE FROM THE MID 20S ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS...TO LOWER AND MID 30S IN THE VALLEYS.

THey're calling for rain sat/sunday. Saturdays low down here is 40, there's gotta be a chance for some white up there.

or one of these October 29, 2008. (Weird that they were exactly 3 years apart) IF that does happen, who's gonna call in sick and go shred with me?

Ahh this was exactly one year ago. It would be very convenient if that happened again. I could go for some shred.

I know it's too soon for this kind of stuff, but maybe it will keep me from posting TRs from LAST YEAR in the TRAIL PIC THREAD for god sakes:

LONG TERM from NWS ALY

A COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA FROM THE WEST ON TUESDAY...

HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING SOUTHWARD BEHIND THE FRONT FROM THE WESTERN ARCTIC WILL BRING COLDER TEMPERATURES /ABOUT 5 TO 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL/ TO OUR REGION. A WESTERLY FLOW AND AREAS OF UPSLOPING WILL MEAN LAKE ENHANCED/ OROGRAPHIC SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE A GOOD POSSIBILITY NORTH AND WEST OF THE CAPITAL REGION ...TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY...AS THE COLDER AIR POURS IN.

HIGH PRESSURE WITH NORTHWARD RIDGING PASSES TO OUR SOUTH ON WEDNESDAY...AND LOW PRESSURE TRACKING GENERALLY EAST SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE LOWER GREAT LAKES WILL BRING OUR NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN/SNOW/MIX AS EARLY AS THURSDAY NIGHT.

here's a tease.

local weather just reported a small storm approaching. reports of wet snow mixing in with the rain at higher elevations in western Fulton County. Speculator/Lake Pleasant may get an inch... heading east and will pass over Gore...maybe Face.

i know it's not much but they are using the S word!

A friend just told me it was snowing real hard in Speculator.
I was about to go road trippin just to see some snow. I need to brush up on my winter driving anyways

This is in someone I know's backyard right in North Creek.

Also, a friend just said they had 2-3 inches in Piseco, just west of Lake Pleasant.


... It's coming!
