The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

If I had a choice right now I think I'd head to Wintergreen or Massanutten Saturday. They are going to get walloped.

Pretty much have every ski resort in VA and WV gets hammered. NC not as much but still a healthy dose.

The overnight Euro run is looking good too. Basically, right now both major models are showing West Virginia and especially the Virginia resorts getting crushed. Saturday and Sunday could be EPIC up there. The North Carolina resorts are where the uncertainty lies. We need the upper and surface low pressures to track further south as depicted in the Euro as to avoid any sleet/freezing rain crud that could mix in.
WOOOOOO!

The SREF Plumes for Boone look fantastic. Showing an average of 18 inches.

In general, the models have trended colder today and we have less of a warm nose aloft to deal with for the High Country. That means less mixing of freezing rain/sleet.
WOOOOOO!
