OpenSnow Tracking Winter Storm Expected to Bring Up to Two Feet of Snow to East Coast Ski Areas

A very cold, snowy two week period is ahead for the Eastern U.S. and OpenSnow, a trusted source for the most accurate U.S. weather forecasts, snow reports, and weather maps, is tracking a massive storm system expected to bring up to two feet of snow to East Coast ski areas.

“This particular winter storm, forecast to begin this weekend, is on track to deliver substantial snowfall to every ski area on the East Coast,” said OpenSnow forecaster Zach Butler. “Some resorts in the southern Appalachians could see two feet of snow. Resorts in the Northeast — particularly in New York — could also receive significant lake-effect snow, building on their already strong base depths and pushing some well above their average annual snowfall, which is in stark contrast to what is happening in the West.” 

According to OpenSnow’s Mid-Atlantic forecast, the best bet for heavy snow and to see more than two feet will be northern North Carolina and southern West Virginia/Virginia, however there is the chance for an ice storm for the southern Appalachians if the track shifts a bit north.

Leveraging its own proprietary forecasting technology, including its new AI-powered forecasting models, OpenSnow’s forecasts are up to 50% more accurate than standard forecasting models in mountainous terrain. Stay up-to-date with OpenSnow’s daily snow Mid-Atlantic forecast here.
