Nor’easter for the Adirondacks?

Could there be more snow for Gore Mountain?

Don't put those skis away just yet. Weather nerds are abuzz from NYC to the Canadian border of an “alleged” Nor’ Easter heading for the east coast. We checked in with local expert Tony Tenda, for the scoop. From:


Tony's Schroon Lake Weather Page 

"Lots of chatter on the weather forums regarding a Nor'easter for Friday. Hard to think about with the weather so spring like, but that is often the case with big snowstorms. They often come on the heels of a pleasant stretch of weather. The extreme atmospheric blocking that has just formed over Greenland is giving the computer models fits. It currently looks like this storm will be shunted south of the North Country. This is a fluid situation, as some models have tried to trend this storm further west. I'll keep watching it!"

In addition, this is from NOAA for the 12870 zip code:

Thursday through Tuesday.

Trends in the data suggests the heaviest precipitation from the storm

moving into the region on Friday will be just to our south and east.

We will still see widespread precipitation over the area, but no

heavy precipitation is expected at this time. The main time period of

concern will be late Thursday night...but especially on Friday and

Friday night. Rain and snow is expected below 1500 feet with

accumulations generally less than an inch. Over the northern

Adirondacks and the Green Mountains in central and southern Vermont 2

to 5 inches are expected. In addition...watch for gusty east to

northeast winds in the 30 to 40 mph range on Friday with 45 to 55 mph

wind gusts in the mountains. Power outages will be possible.
