The crummy weather continues with highs pushing 60 degrees or higher tomorrow and Saturday, and pushing 50 degrees on Sunday. Saturday will be sunny, and Sunday will be party cloudy or sunny, depending upon which model you look at.
The next hope for snow is on Thursday March 26. A storm from the west northwest may (or may not) hit our patrol zone, with a weak low pressure generating some snow. The Canadian Model is calling for 7”, while the American Model is calling for ½”, and the European Model is only calling for a dusting.
Fingers crossed for more snow.

Geeky Notes:
References to the American Model are to the American (GFS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake with an average elevation of 9,439’. References to the Canadian Model are the Canadian (GDPS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake with an average elevation of 10,253’. References to the European Model are the European (ECMWF IFS) Model grid including Brainerd Lake. References to the WRF Model are the CAIC WRF Hi-Res Model point forecast for Eldora Ski Area with an elevation of 9,189’. References to the Icon and UKMet Models are to the point with my cursor at my best estimate of Eldora Ski Area. For big picture overviews, I tend to rely on the American Model, not because I think it is the most accurate, but because (i) it is free and (ii) I like its interface.
