Next Storm Thursday, Possible Extended Dry and Warm Period
We just looked at the latest model run of the ECMWF. It does not look good for the skiers and riders.
This is also a pretty warm system. Snow levels will hover between 7,000 and 8,000 feet. That will be all snow for Mt. Rose and we will take it. This last storm did what we thought and delivered between 1-2 feet which will give their snowmaking a good kickstart. This next storm looks like 3-5 inches of snow.
First, we have a weak system coming in for Thursday:

Looking at the weather through the remainder of November, it looks like above average temperatures and dry. There are a few slider systems that will bring some cold air in, but only temporarily.
I have looked at the monthly as well. Usually, we do not have to look that far out, but the models are predicting an extended dry period lasting into December. Sorry, no other way to put that.
Having said that, the models have been changing on a daily basis. I find it hard to believe we will be dry for that long and will continue searching for our next big pattern change.
