Snow Conditions / Forecast website

**Magoo** · 01-03-2007, 01:08 PM

Not too long ago there was a thread about snow conditions and snowfall across the country. There was a link in it to a website that had historical data, as well as some fairly descriptive longer range (season long) forcasts. I didn't book mark it, and have drawn a complete blank as to where to find it... can anyone point me to it?

Thanks CS, pretty cool site!
The one I'm thinking of is, I think, done by an individual.

Ahh, that one. the "percent of normal" guy

I needed to be reminded of this:

Northeast: Natural snow in October totalled 21 inches at Jay Peak and 16 inches at Killington (not included in totals below). Unfortunately November was warm so all precipitation was rain and the first openings on snowmaking were for the weekend of Nov. 18-19. There was some cold and snow for the first week of December, but it warmed up for most of the month and holiday skiing is as limited as it has ever been in the snowmaking era. Current percents open: Sunday River 36%, Sugarloaf 23%, Okemo 38%, Stratton 35%, Hunter 39%, Tremblant 44%, Mt. Ste. Anne 61%, Snowshoe 58%.

I REALLY like the link to the 10 day precipitation outlook

Not completly unrelated, but just had another question regarding forecasting sites.
Coudl you say that SF is accurate for their 3 day prediction in amount of snow for Canada? I know for Europe they are fairly accurate up to 2 days but anything after that is most of the time exagerated. The thing is that I see for Lake Lousie a fair amount of snow forecasted on SF but if I check the local sites (weatheroffice, accuweather) they don't seem to forecast no way as much as SF. Any expercience on which one is better to trust/use?
Are there any other sites that I should rather use for forecasting cm/inches of snow for the BC/AB region?
