    What I think is important now and into November is some cold temp-s, enough to chill the surface, so when snow falls it'll stay

    So true. And, so far so good.

    It's a good sign when Mrs. Harvey is encouraging me to get out of bed in the middle of the night (from under a 2-ton comforter) to turn on the furnace.

    Ok...here's a reasonably current radar shot:



    I have watched more radar over the last ten years than any man with a job should. Usually I'm trying to figure out if it's worth the extra effort to get it all done and blow out of work to catch some fresh snow.

    To me the question always seems to be...how much cold air is available and is it the right amount to push the rain snow line south of Albany? I've seen that if the precip is mixed in the Hudson Valley* then Gore will be in the WHEELHOUSE.

    So how to tell in advance? I found that if the snow line in a radar shot like the one above is around CHICAGO ... then we've got a good shot of SCORING at GORE when the storm reaches us.

    Anybody else got weather prediction secrets?

    I had a few inches of wet snow at my cabin this morning
    The sea was angry that day my friends, like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli

    I'm going to use Spongeworthy's report as the first data point on this year's MegaHarv Snow Totals. For those who weren't here or don't remember, I kept track of snow totals last year out of frustration that the mountain doesn't keep a running seasonal total. During the season that Gore is open I will USUALLY use the numbers reported by the mountain, although in a few cases they were inconsistent or wrong and I used the number I thought was right.

    Here's last year's total...almost exactly on the Gore Mtn reported average of 150 inches. And that was with nada after mid-March:

    This year's report is here:

    http://harvey44.blogspot.com/2009/10...tals-0910.html

    SpongeWorthy...you get to pick the name of your weather outpost ("source") I just made it up and will revise based on your input. Would also like to know your elevation. Anybody can submit a report...either in this thread, or ideally in the comments section of the thread on Harvey Road.

    One more thing....the Mega in "MegaHarv" is named for our departed and intrepid treeman....Megatron. The MegaHarv Snow Totals live on in his memory.

    BRING IT!~

    200% of normal snow totals (in the map above)?!?!!??!?!

    300 inches would be pretty sweet (and it would shut up those losers over on AZ)
