Hunter Feb 28

Hi All,

We have a winter storm brewing for Wed & Thur. The big question is how much will we get. Hunter just posted a powder alert with a map on its website ( http://echo3.bluehornet.com/hostedemail/email.htm?CID=11290590774&ch=521D799772B68EFD9E065AF11C43BC93&h=eb0a66da4cb7b4ed6be60b8f66e5cd01&ei=svO8HY8NV ) however both Albany stations predict more wet than white south of Saratoga County per below. The forecasts as usual are conflicting and anything could happen here on the mountain top. Today has been very windy and sunny with temps from 30 to now 38. Hunter has not been making any snow but the grooming has been nothing less than spectacular providing excellent surface conditions - great job Skip!

Any week-day on the mountain is better than sitting at your desk or in your car - wherever you work!

Ski ya,

Jon

WRGB:

Weather Advisories: A WINTER STORM WATCH is in effect from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday..
.
Snow will develop across the region midday Wednesday and get steadier by Wednesday evening and continue into Thursday morning..
The snow will mix with some sleet and freezing rain and perhaps a period of rain south of the Mohawk valley resulting a wide range of accumulations across the region.

WNYT:

High pressure will build in today and keep it dry, although clouds will be mixed with sunshine and it will be blustery and colder than yesterday. Highs will be in the upper 30s.

Clouds will increase tonight out ahead of the next storm and lows will be in the lower 20s.

A strong storm will approach on Wednesday. It will be dry to start the day off but snow will move in by late morning or early afternoon and it will be snowing in most places with a couple of inches on the ground for the evening commute. Highs will be in the lower to mid mid 30s.

We're still sorting out the finer details, but the thinking is that the snow will mix with sleet and eventually change to rain from about Saratoga County south tomorrow evening. Further north it will remain mainly snow, including the Adirondacks and the Greens into the overnight hours. It is in these locations where the heaviest snowfall totals are expected.

More snow or a rain-snow mix is expected on Thursday on the back side of the system. Additional accumulation is likely. Highs will me in the mid 30s.

Sunshine will come back on Friday with highs near 40, and the next storm will bring mostly rain on Saturday with highs near 50.
