In
last week's report, I pointed out that the pattern had one more shot of arctic air in it before it morphed into a decidedly springtime configuration, and that still looks to be the case. It will come in two shots...the first is underway as I write this summary, with snow falling as today (Saturday) as far south as the Red River Valley between Texas and Oklahoma. Some snow is falling on the resorts of Wisconsin and Michigan, which may temp management to squeeze out one more week of skiing and riding, as the cold (at least at night) will help sustain base depths in the Midwest this week. The Rockies have enjoyed a couple of significant snowfalls in the past ten days or so, and aside from some soft conditions in the lower elevation, conditions are nice...there are some "grunkel" spots showing up in the northern Rockies due to below normal snowfall in the past month. The East is basking in a spring preview this weekend...it is currently 72 degrees here at my home office in Rhode Island, and the warmth of the past 4 or 5 days will claim a good number of lower elevation resorts by the end of this weekend.

| Herb Stevens has spent much of his professional career on the “road less traveled”. After graduating from Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) in 1975, Herb elected to see the world as a caddy on the PGA Tour for five years before launching his career as a meteorologist. After one year at WJAR-TV in Providence, RI, Herb became one of the original on-camera meteorologists at The Weather Channel. A year and a half later, he became the Chief Meteorologist at WNYT-TV in Albany, NY. As part of his duties at WNYT, Herb pioneered a weekly on-snow ski report, which in 1988 became his full-time job, The Skiing Weatherman. More about Herb |
