Now that meteorological winter has ended (12/1-3/1) and March is underway, the questions on many skiers and rider's minds are "will the cold weather hold, how many more snowstorms can I expect, and when will spring get here"? It's been a good winter in the Northeast, a great winter in the mid Atlantic, pretty good in the upper Midwest, very solid in the Southwest, and spottier in much of the rest of the West, especially the Northwest. Although the pattern across the country will be somewhat chaotic for much of the next week or so, there are strong signs that the pattern will revert to the one that has dominated much of this winter...a western upper level ridge and an eastern upper level trough...for much of the second half of the month.

| 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 |
