Cold air is still pouring into the Mid-Atlantic, and Friday’s temperatures in the mountains are set to plunge through the 20s and into the teens or even lower in some of the coldest locations.
Ski areas in West Virginia, Western Maryland and Western Pennsylvania may get plastered with several additional inches of snow on Friday, with a dusting to an inch elsewhere. With wind chills dipping into the single digits and even below zero in the high terrain, it calls for your warmest weather gear as frostbite becomes a concern.
Since our report last week, more ski areas have opened in the Mid-Atlantic. Lifts are spinning everywhere except for the Homestead in west-central Virginia, which will open Saturday, according to Lynn Swann, complex director of marketing and communications.
While Thursday’s rain and balmy temperatures were a small setback, the good news is that the Arctic blast should allow resorts to fight back with two to three days of solid snow-making. Skiing this weekend should be solid and even better next week, one of the most important of the year for the ski industry.
