"Thursday night is mostly a light elevation-dependent round, with many resorts seeing just a coating and the better terrain topping out around 1"-3". The guidance is converging well on limited moisture and short duration, so this first wave looks more like a surface freshener than a true reset, with the lowest bases mixing with rain at times while higher terrain stays snow."
"The better clipper arrives Friday afternoon, does most of its work Friday night into Saturday morning, and fades Saturday afternoon. Here the models are still fairly well aligned on timing and wind, but there is moderate spread on intensity, especially in northern Vermont where the snowiest camp runs notably above the pack."
"Snow levels should stay near the valley floors in the colder northern zones but can briefly lift into the 2,000 to 3,500 feet range around Loon and Killington, so quality should range from SLRs around 8 to 10 in the wetter southern snow to 11 to 13 in the colder northern terrain."
The Northeast maintains a late-March weather pattern through Saturday with two distinct snow events. Thursday night brings a light, elevation-dependent refresh with most resorts receiving minimal accumulation and higher terrain reaching 1-3 inches. Friday afternoon into Saturday morning delivers the primary system, with best returns expected at northern Vermont resorts including Jay Peak, Stowe, and Smugglers' Notch. Snow levels remain near valley floors in northern zones but may briefly rise to 2,000-3,500 feet in southern areas. Snow-to-liquid ratios range from 8-10 in wetter southern snow to 11-13 in colder northern terrain. Ridge gusts stay between 25-45 mph. Sunday into Monday presents a larger storm signal but with greater forecast uncertainty regarding timing, intensity, and snow levels.
