if we have an east based super nino heading into fall...then yea best to just assume the winter is going to be a dead ratter. I know you were joking but some do just automatically assume Nino=Snow. Which is funny because I remember after we had 3 dead ratter nino's in a row, 1992, 1995, and 1998, the prevailing thought before 2003 was Nino=warm snowless winter lol. Then we had a run of extremely snowy nino's and it flipped the other way. The truth is somewhere in between and that it depends on the details.

I don't get excited about enso before the summer, but if that is real...well if that is real and we don't break out of this snow funk I give up.

There were several other reports from near 3k feet in that area and none were close to that total until you got west of the Allegheny front from upslope. As a skier I am well aware of how EVERY ski resort inflates snowfall. Not some. Not sometimes. Every single one every single time! Some do it by making their official measurement spot a bowl location that they know is a local max zone on the mountain. Others just flat out make up a number. But in 30 years of skiing having been in at least 30 snow events at 20 different resorts not once did any of them report the snowfall honestly. I was just at Killington last weekend and they got about 6” and reported 11. It’s just what they do.

Thanks "Mostly" Nostradamus

I have no idea what you're upset about... I was just pointing out how lucky it was that right after there was a dispute about it...that there just happened to be a new member who just joined who also just happened to be at Wintergreen so they could use their first posts ever to verify the ski resorts claim of an anomalously high amount of snow compared to everything around them even at similar elevations. What's controversial about those facts?

Wow kinda crazy how someone that just happened to be at WIntergreen just happened to join right now and their first post is about this. Crazy huh

thanks, and what would you suggest?

I meant the GFS. You said it’s not…ugh never mind

Yes I discovered it’s getting warmer. Right after Al Gore invented the internet.

It was south

No wait a minute… if he wants to give me credit for discovering it’s getting warmer…

I know it’s facetious but that 2014 storm it was in the mid 20s and it’s only warmed like 1/2 a degree since then. And the 2018 storm was even more recent and not really that borderline when the snow was falling.

Thanks Nostradamus

I wish that’s all that was wrong with him.

Right but the point is it was LESS WRONG then all the other models day 5-8 and so on a chart of verification scores it would look good.
