Opening day predictions

So tomorrow is Oct. 1st, the month where we generally see a few white ribbons of death popping up across the east coast. Now what is to be cared about: where will the first one pop up? Predictions? long term weather patterns developing? We just need one real good cold front and we could be skiing within a few weeks.

This is mostly just for hype, but also, I would love to see if anyone knows of any long term weather forecasters which track pressure systems and fronts which have the potential to hit the east coast.

If Sunday River opens before halloween then I'll be pumped. They better get their shit together with putting up halfway decent features this year though.

From what I have seen, the weather pattern will be experiencing a major shift in about a week, and we may see temps cold enough for some legit snow making.. fingers crossed.

I bet killy opens a day earlier, they are way more capable and sit at a higher (+ colder) location
