Summary

The potential storm for midweek is going to pass to far to our west and north to have much of an effect on the region. In this case, that's not a bad thing though as it would have been rain if it had tracked a little closer. So, generally expect things to be very quiet through the middle of the week and all the way to around Friday. At that point, a storm will track through the Saint Lawrence River Valley, which will mean another generally warm storm. The long term sees continued seasonable temperatures, with the chance for some sort of larger storm around the middle of next week.

Details

The storm that I had been talking about for the middle of the week will fortunately track too far to our west and eventually our north to have any significant effect on New England resorts. I say fortunatley because the track of this storm would have meant mainly rain if it were to track closer to the region. Even still, the higher elevations of the northern Adirondacks and northern VT may see a coating to an inch of snow Tuesday night into Wednesday morning as the very outer fringes of the storm brush by.

With this storm missing us, expect things to be generally very quiet and seasonable (as far as temperatures go) all the way through the end of the work week when our next storm heads toward the region. On Friday, low pressure will track up the Saint Lawrence River Valley. This western track will put us on the warm side of the storm, meaning mainly rain will move through on Friday and into Friday night. The higher elevations (above 2,000 to 3,000 feet) will start out as snow and mixed precipitation, but will also eventually see some plain rain. Any accumulations on the front side will be light, on the order of a coating to 3 inches. On the backside though, there will be another round of snowfall for the higher elevations, with anywhere from 2-6 inches falling.

Long Range

Look for temperatures to generally remain very seasonable in the long range. As you would expect this time of year, lows at night will drop down below freezing and highs during the day will get warm enough to soften the snow. You know, basically your classic spring skiing conditions where you stick to the groomers early and then hit the bumps and trees once the snow softens.

Otherwise, our next chance at a storm comes around the middle of next week. This storm does have the potential to bring some widespread snowfall as it could track up the coast, but that is very much so still up in the air at this point.
