Tuckerman Ravine is in for a classic mid-winter experience with frigid overnight temperatures dropping to a bone-chilling 4.2°F. The current snowpack sits at 27 inches, which is significantly below average, but fresh snowfall is on the way. Expect 11 inches in the next 24 hours, with totals reaching up to 14 inches over the next five days. This incoming snow could improve coverage, but keep in mind that conditions may still be variable, with icy surfaces lingering beneath fresh powder.
