Nor'easter Weather Consulting

What Nor'easter Weather Consulting does

Nor'easter Weather Consulting is a privately held meteorological consulting firm founded in 2017 by Mallory Brooke and based in Maine. The company delivers hyper-local, customized weather forecasts to weather-dependent businesses, with a vertically segmented product portfolio that includes Snowmaker (ski resort forecasting with a real-time base-to-summit dashboard), Preparecast (plowing and utilities storm forecasting), WhiteGold Wedding Forecasts, EventForecaster, and dedicated Utilities Forecasting. Underlying delivery combines certified meteorologist analysis, location-specific precipitation and accumulation timelines, hourly and long-range outlooks, and storm-monitoring communications delivered via online dashboards, email, text, and direct phone/email access to the forecaster.

The business is built on a subscription/recurring consulting model with quote-based, customized contracts per client; a complementary Patreon community subscription starts at $5/month. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach, industry referrals, the company website, and Mallory Brooke's media presence (including the 'Outside Edge' series on WCSH News Center Maine) to drive leads. Customers span ski resorts (20+ accounts from Maine to Pennsylvania to Michigan, including Vail Resorts, Alterra Mountain Company, Killington/Pico, and King Pine), electric utilities, snowplowing and landscaping SMBs, wedding and event venues, and government clients such as the City of Portland.

Nor'easter Weather Consulting was launched when Tony Vazzano retired after operating North Winds Weather for over 40 years as the leading New England ski forecasting service, transitioning his client base to Brooke following a four-year apprenticeship. Brooke is one of only four Certified Consulting Meteorologists in northern New England and holds the dual Certified Consulting and Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seals from the American Meteorological Society; she also serves on the AMS Board of Certified Consulting Meteorologists. The company remains founder-owned with no disclosed institutional funding, and operates regionally across the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Mid-Atlantic United States.

Direct peers

Broad incumbents

It competes with NWC at the enterprise end of the utility and event-forecasting market but operates at much larger scale across multiple geographies.
