It's been a busy week for meteorologists...Tuesday was Groundhog's Day, Friday was Weatherman's Day, and the week ended with a blizzard tagging portions of the mid Atlantic region. As was the case last weekend, strong high pressure over eastern Canada has served to suppress the storm to the south of New York State and New England. From Pennsylvania southward to the resorts of Virginia and West Virginia, the snow is really piling up, and some resorts will end up with more than 30 inches from this storm. A new storm is going to roll through the Southwest this weekend, bringing fresh snow to the southern Sierra and the southern Rockies, while further north, any snow in the central and northern Rockies will be light this week. The Northwest, including the Olympic venues in British Columbia, will continue to be frustrated by the pattern, one that will keep snow levels relatively high, with only limited opportunities for significant snow. If you haven't taken a look at the discussion that was posted on 2/5 concerning the forecast for the 2nd half of the season, please do...we are entering what promises to be a remarkable stretch of weather in the eastern half of the country and it is all broken down for you there. In the shorter term, the mid Atlantic "mauler" will be followed by another significant storm in just a few days, and this time, I think the snow will be spread further north into New York and New England.

| 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 |
