  1. Hoping and believing Just feels better . As a snow lover good luck shutting that bias out completely .
  2. Seems somethings going on a Michigan state campus tonite (man w Gun)
  3. Ever think of making a man Made snow Gun so you can send the kids outside And not depend on old man climo
  4. Thought central NH elevations were at a peak pack 10 days ago
  5. What are best days to tan this week of February
  6. I go to S Florida early May . I anticipate we will be still waiting for more then a 3 day favorable period .
  7. Well, As we move out of peak snow climo ..we are going to need a large change to at least normal To “favorable” air-masses when systems arrive by end of February / early March (To see snow ), so the above normal and active crap won’t work by early March
  8. What a crap system for winter lover that were excited down there . Maybe an inch at 4500’ in NC mountain ski resort. Just a putrid airmass for anyone outside of NNE/CNE for snow . Went thru a few of southern forums (mid Atlantic ) to Tennessee valley to N Ga, Virginia and NC mountains .
  9. I will say... that if I have to ski on a weekend or take a weekend ..and there is good snow / weather conditions wildcat is Gonna be at the top of my list . Assuming the quad is running lol. One reason they are at the top is their tiny parking lot , they can’t become a zoo like other places become . Just get there b4 it fills up and they send you to attitash
  10. Models have made a case they can’t handle Weighing whatever is going on (And persistent) with the tropical forcing to the point they have consistently been biased toward overforecasting heights in SW USA (Baja) etc and all the ripple effects associated with that . Maybe I’m wrong but it sure as heck seems some sort of bias Regarding (Perhaps) handling of the Tropical forcing has been exposed that makes their 10-15 day modeled maps look Foolish in this Nina as we get toward the 5-8 day outlook. Bad luck ...or lack of awareness Of a complex relationship that models aren’t programmed to handle well ?
  11. I’ve always been brain dead trying to attach photos here (always to much space in my files) I need a tutorial like I was a 4 year old and then I would post so many more photos here
  12. I was skiing yesterday . Great day at crotched mountain and I’m not really single but ..well ..Your right
  13. Can someone create a futuristic photo of ginxy’s snow train stuck in the mud of Morch Is there anyone willing to take the opposite side of a wager that Boston will see less snow then they average in March . Please.
  14. I meant why do they have weekly issues . Maybe a season pass holder there would know .
  15. They seem to have a decent amount of issues with that Quad , why is that ?
  16. You are always a good sport man . We are praying for you next weekend
  17. They may open up the tiki bar at the Outdoor pool, Increasing booze availability maybe the best way to pivot for the resort , I imagine very long lines at the breweries starting at dawn , parents wearing shades .. half in the bag ..with kids in tow with their charged up iPads to pacify them , police cars with a heavier presence, the town will have all this pent up angst like a top ready to burst ..powder freak nervously rocking in the bathroom , checking the ARW model for any indication of a moose fart to look forward to
  18. Reindeer sweaters And empty bourbon bottles washing up ..maybe even the snow stake itself , lapping the main door of spruce peak lodge as angry February vacationers are boated away to safety
  19. I think a lot of the difference in opinions here are semantics . “Giving up on winter “ to me ...usually Is interpreted = I have given up on this winter being defined as enjoyable or decent from here on out (In summary ) , you follow models significantly less, you Know it could still snow and you will log on and enjoy it if it does but you’ve effectively made peace that your likely looking at a rat either in season entirety or from here on out . People talk this way ..so they don’t need to make war and peace length novels every word isn’t meant literally . I think the most optimistic of the bunch are more perturbed by this attitude being stated over and over on a snow lovers board and well..that makes perfect sense . If I had more of a life right now I would post less! lol but this is definitely a “cool atmosphere” to just post and hang in here some just for the interactions with folks we’ve come to enjoy discussing our hobby with .
  20. Mitch knows he will snow again this year , but when you are about to lose your pack at that area and elevation this time of year ..it’s deflating ..sure things could turn around (find me someone who will bet $ on it ) but I think the best odds and mind set is to anticipate below average snowfall going forward . I will make the most of it skiing at wildcat till I can’t but if you don’t ski it’s kinda like ...let’s move on or hope for one last storm in a shitter and maybe that attitude will end up to pessimistic but find me someone that is confident $ otherwise in CNE/SNE There is also probably some sort of emotional release of pent up emotional garbage in a melt and giving up (lowering the bar )= less suffering And accepting and making peace with the rat . Maybe iceberg can assist with any Still struggling to accept this , Have us all dress up in weenie outfits , pour us some heavily infused kool aid lead us into a cult like acceptance Where we will be promised patience and endless dentrites in our dream state in some Jim Jones “lite” ceremony
  21. This isn’t directed at you , but if you go back and check the correlation to areas 80% + shaded for above normal conditions compared to those shaded 30-40% , there will be a correlation that much above normal temps correlated to the areas that are in the 70-80% and upward % compared to those 30-40% and also intuitively you can guarantee there is a stronger correlation to much above normal temps for the areas that maintain (the % 70/80% and above above ) normal chances as the outlook time frame shifts from 6-10 days from the 8-14. Sure there are situations where there could be sustained periods of 2-4 f degrees above average (Ike when there isn’t much seasonal variability ...I.E (maybe Deep South Gulf coast in summer) but I think if you followed the tenor of the season and look at the daily averages for thus period , it’s not really necessary to pretend that the 80% above normal Outlook (assuming it maintains its % inside day 10) area won’t likely see much above normal temps . I would guess the most likely way it doesn’t is if the 7 day period includes a 4 day torch followed by a cold front the last 3 days that average out the period to (+2.5/3) .
