Midweek System to impact Wasatch: Unstable NW flow may trigger substantial snows (UPDATED)

From Wednesday morning through at least Thursday night, a cold pacific storm will drop down from the West/Northwest through the wasatch range.  During this time the Wasatch will see heavy snowfall both as the front passes and in the wake of the front due to a moist W/NW flow.

Substantial snowfall possible along I-95 corridor but will it reach the ski areas? YES! (Updated with Totals)

To facilitate discussion of this potential I-95 mauler I have started a new thread.  The old forecast discussion/trend following thread can be found here.  I would strongly consider reading it to understand the context of this storm.

With that said it appears VERY clear that the I-95 corridor is looking a substantial snowfall beginning late Sunday night and extending into late Monday in the Boston area. (In fact actually blizzard conditions may prevail during times sunday night into early monday morning.)  As I previously said, this appeared to be a fish storm from the beginning. However, it appears that the short face energy spawning this system will amplify the trough earlier enough to pull the storm closer to the coast.  Yay.  However- how close it comes really will have a substantial impact on not only I-95 but more importantly on ski areas in the Catskills, Berkshires, Southern VT and NH.

Merry Christmas.  From all of the skiers here at FamousInternetSkiers.com we want to wish you a wonderful, joyous, and schuss-filled Holiday.  We only know one way to spread our Holiday cheer, and that’s by sharing some one of the biggest snow storms to grace the ‘Satch in recent years.  L_H called it like the conductor of the pineapple express — at this point Alta has received a whopping 70 inches in 7 days.

I’m sure you can’t wait to tear into these pictures like a 5 year old waiting to dip his hand into his Christmas stocking.  Without delay, here is some of the glory that Wasatch skiers far and wide have been participating in.
