Well... it looks like we'll have a few shots at some snow next week. Chris Bailey over at WSAZ is talking about a potential storm for Tuesday and another one for next weekend! 'Ol accuweather is also hyping the storm too... keep your fingers crossed!

I think I'll break out the mountain bike this weekend while I wait for winter to return...

PS..Feb might go out with a kick & march could get interesting!

Made that quote 4 days ago & got the heads up from Chris who I have been following ever since you turned us on to him last year ...
He can give us a general heads up but is lacking in our mtn f-cast dept.
I need a great run to lure me off the beach where i am enjoying 70's to near 80's tommorow but i have been watching run after run of the models & i just might have to make the long run the 1st weekend of march even though i have 0 time left at work to do so...

Just saw this

Thats a new one!..I've been trying to predict snow events on this site for years..back in the early days it was just about "what usually happens' type of F-casting..Now if you put in the time (cking multiple sources & doing the Ave) anyone can figure out what will probably happen.
Welcome to the future!!

I've been using the WSAZ site for the past 2 years. That and Capital Weather Gang on Wash Post (obviously DC-centric.) Good discussion of storms on both.

Instead of checking multiple sources, we still prefer the one-stop shopping of Mr. Fish on DCSki!

Don't you have some weather station next to the statue at the top of MPC???????????????

Thats right..Just use & abuse me ..But I'm just a 1 trick pony JohnL..Canaan Valley ..A real weather dude can give a regional F-cast & you don't even know how bad I wish I had a weather station up on MPC!

I'm a glutton for punishment though by trying to figure out the weather..I spend hours trying to figure it out..Gets stupid really ..I'm 50 now & friends can tell you that back in my teens I would stare at those 1st dinosaur Radar contraptions.I would sleep out in the living room by a back deck with the spotlights on to watch for snow or to see it snow all night (I love my Spotlights on my Deck at my Canaan Camp).. I can remember as a kid trying to predict where the oil slicks (which I would pretend to be Storms) that would form over the asphalt on the roads after a rain would be heading.

Amazing that with all that nerdy activity I was still able to pick up all those Ladies

PS...Someone will be up very early tue morn cking out one of those fronts that blow thru the canaan area with a burst of wind & snow...wish I could be "Spotlighting"!!

I did get to ck out the front that blew thru a couple of weeks ago with Thunder/lightning Sleet & hard winds then Snow just puking down for a couple of hours..anyone else see that?..Amazing..I had a Cantore moment!!

Cold stuff Next Fri... http://www.met.sjsu.edu/weather/models/gfsone-06/850tmpcf132.gif
