EAST – Short term Update…
Accumulating snow…though light will fall across New Hampshire’s
White Mountains and Maine’s western Mountains through Wednesday night
favoring areas like Black Mountain, Mount Abram and Titcomb with
another 1 to 4” and Mount Jefferson in eastern Maine seeing 3-6”
with the current coastal low pressure system exiting.
Otherwise a trace to 2” might accrue in parts of upstate New
York’s Adirondacks, The Green Mountains of Vermont, Temperatures were
marginal at base lodges in the 20s at most summits with winds moderate.
Thursday and much of the weekend – High pressure will bring
brilliant sunshine and spring like skiing to much of the Northeast U.S. through
most of Sunday before a warm surge of air moves in from a developing
southerly flow late Sunday into Monday next week.
Colder air will wrap around this exiting storm system for the middle part of
next week introducing more light snows to mountainous areas New York and New
England with generally from a trace to 5” and nothing major was foreseen
through the end of January at this point.

FEBRUARY SNOWFALL IN NEW ENGLAND
STOWE/CANNON MOUNTAIN/KILLINGTON AND OTHERS--
The year 1969 seems to fit very well in some ways. December and
January, 1968
snowfall was below normal across much of New England with January
being the worst. February, 1969 features big snowfall from Maine to
New
Hampshire and parts of Vermont with the most over southern and
eastern
New England. Mt Washington, for example, had the most February
snowfall
ever in 1969 with over 170 inches, while about 45" fell at
Stowe and 74"
at Killington.
