Weather Links

While NOAA generally does a god job of telling us what will happen in the short term, the long term forecasts are a bit trickier. There’s at least a half dozen semi-pro forecasters that are focused on snow for skiers and snowboarders. Here’s the links to three good weather resources:

 

NOAA Remote Data

WeatherWest.com

It’s called the California Weather Blog, but it’s under the domain WeatherWest.com. That’s confusing, we know, but Daniels Swain is the man when it comes to weather and long term trends. Unfortunately, Swain has become such a big deal that his blog posts have become a bit more irregular. That said, there is a very active community of weather pros and amateurs that are willing to discuss every run of every model, as well as every twitch of the long term teleconnections.
