To shred or not that is the question.... Vermonts impending rainstorm 3/4/12 - Page 2 - Snowboarding Forum

Soul06 · 03-01-2012, 04:42 PM

I check snow-forecast.com, NOAA and another Vermont based weather service not to long ago and they all now say that the rain on Saturday wont be as heavy or long as previously reported. Lets hope and pray that remains true

I'm not sure if you guys use weather models to get your data for the slope but at times like this I do, It looks like its not going to warm up (mid to high 30's) BUT not till the late afternoon. I hope this helps you guys out.... I think I'm going to shred on Saturday. Maybe it temps will drop enough to get some freshies over night.

Shows sea level to about 15,000 ft above sealevel responding to Max temp

6-hr accumulated precip

Surface temps, looks like at it should be mid 30's all day

and finally

Winds don't look they should be so bad till later in the day, below 10knots (11mph) till the later afternoon when the temp picks up when they will gust to +25knots (+30mph)

yeah its looking like saturday might be decent (for NH atleast). looks like the rain should quit around noon and only be a light drizzle in the AM.
