The calendar says February, but it continues to feel like mid-November. A quick shot of snow from the northwest looks to hit our backcountry patrol zone on Tuesday. The American, Canadian, and European Models are all calling for ½” of snow.
This upcoming weekend looks warm and sunny (with the Canadian Model calling for highs in the mid-30s and the American Model calling for highs in the upper-40s).
Next Tuesday to Thursday may bring some light snow (the European Model is calling for an inch) – but that’s a long way off to trust any forecast.
It’s been a rough season so far – I skied Cannon, NH on Saturday, which has received twice the snow so far this season than Eldora. What gives? At least let’s not forget Winter 2002-2003, which was almost as bad until March, and then became one of the best seasons in the last three decades. So, a turnaround of this season is still possible.
Cheers.
