Joel Gratz, co-founder of the snow-tracking website OpenSnow.com, says more snow is expected to hit over the holiday and into next month.
“The next system will bring a quick shot of snow on Wednesday night,” , “and then a series of storms will bring more snow between about Nov. 27-30 and again around Dec. 2-5. The pattern is shaping up to be phenomenal and I expect a lot more terrain to open by mid-December.”
