Happy New Year! There’ll be a bit of spillover snow on Thursday afternoon to Friday morning. Here are the model forecasts:
2” – Canadian and WRF Models
½” – American and European Models
This weekend looks to be mostly sunny with some high clouds, with highs in the mid to upper 30s. Sunday looks to be the windier day, but it’s our patrol zone, so there’ll be winds on Saturday too.
There may be a shot of snow on Monday or Tuesday. Here are the model solutions:
2” – Canadian Model
½” – American and European Models
There may be other small snowfalls later next week too.

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.
