Screwed myself over by buying 4 days worth of lift tickets to jay peak over christmas break, every site I go to has something different to say. Are there any websites that have known to be reliable over the 10 day forecast?

Surprised they won't give you a refund. But yes, its supposed to stay this warm through new years.

http://www.noaa.gov

best weather site out there and has a ton of maps and what not showing precipitation.

I'm sure there are some good sites/blogs out there with an actual analysis type paragraph or something if you want to find them.

Downside of using liftopia however they might be able to cut us a break on Christmas if they choose not to open

I can tell you right now that X mas in the east will be a wash. Some resorts will make it and keep open but with at most a handfu of trails. Similar to what everyone has open now.

Welcome to the worst start and winter the east has seen for years...

Literal years, this is terrible. This time last year Mt. Snow already had gotten one or two good storms to set up a base. There is absolutely nothing now and we are pushing the halfway mark of December.

Pico was 100% open a week ago last year and they make about 0 snow.

Forecasts beyond five or so days are completely unreliable that's why they're aren't any. Jay has the best chance of having good conditions out of anywhere in New England though

It's supposed to rain for the next three days with it being in the 60s on Christmas Eve. If we're lucky, it will snow at elevation instead of being a wash out.
