By this time, hopefully you have had a chance to take a look at my winter preview discussion, one that bodes well for skiers and riders in much of the country. There are a couple of areas of concern, which I will spell out with a regional outlook at the conclusion of this short discussion about the weather leading up to the Thanksgiving holiday. While it will be possible to get some turns in by the end of this month, in general, it looks as though your options will be less than a year ago, both in terms of open resorts and open terrain. Take heart, though, because it looks as though a significant pattern change will take place right around Thanksgiving, and that will help get real winter weather underway in a more consistent fashion.
Herb Stevens has spent much of his professional career on the “road less traveled”. After graduating from ThePennsylvania 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
