i can attest that their was a freezing rain event at alpental

Thanks Amar for the technical discussion. Once again you have proved that you are much smarter then I...........LOL.

Seriously, your discussion regarding multiple sources of info really struck home to me. I always keep an eye on the NWAC telemetry but don't usually go beyond that. Perhaps if I did I could have seen this better.

True that I always keep an eye on things when we have the strong east flow going, but was not really paying much attention to the inversion (even though I had skied it three days earlier on Tuesday the 1st).

Lesson learned, thanks again bro!!

Agreed. Discussions like this are extremely helpful for those of us still fairly new to forecasting based on several sources in the aggregate. Much appreciated.

Now if I can just figure out whether Alpy night skiing will be good or terrible tonight/ tomorrow night...

Hey bro, I assume you know that Alpy is not open on Mondays........so no night skiing.

As far anything else I think you can assume some wet conditions........
