Not at all interested in summer temperatures in March. How about spring instead? Still have lots of spring skiing to do, hopefully

One last shot at some snow.

So which models are on #teamsnow and which on #teamnosnow?

18z Euro - didn't look great for snow
18z GFS - all rain
18z Icon - rain
18z RGEM - rain
12z GEM - rain
18z NAM - rain to snow

So I think it's just the NAM at this point on #teamsnow?

Too early for the RGEM.

This is the same frame of the Nam.

EC has gone back to a rain or snow description for Monday night. I think they had 4C and rain earlier today.

I don't know what model this forecast uses, but damn.. 20cm?
It's funny, because this was the same forecast I was looking at for our last event and it seemed to call it pretty close.

Either this is a coup for the nam or it's out to lunch

Went up to Rice Lake today and there is considerable amounts of snow there. The lake is also almost entirely frozen. I saw some foolish folks walking on it.
