  1. At least we won't miss south...? Most interesting weather lately were some lightening strikes I was driving home from Reading on Thursday. Mountains up north are finally getting snow. Vermont supposedly has been a dream this week.
  2. seems like the temperature is remaining stubbornly high for snowmaking.
  3. My ski mountain I instruct at is really struggling-- didn't build up enough man made snow in Dec. Mountain is closed today hoping to make snow tonight... --this is no way to pay off my new boots...
  4. drive to work in East Earl this morning became an instant ice rink when the rain started at 8:25am
  5. I'll take two Barn-crushers to-go with a side of sleet! My guess is that this is going to spread out, and be warmer with less intense precipation than currently modeled on the GFS. Hard to get something going with the PV flowing so vigorously.
  6. If this was peak climatology we'd have the wiggum rule on our side.
  7. The higher elvation is longer than the lower??
  8. Praying for a dry week this week. My dad and I tore our roof off... we found a bunch of rot in the deck that had to be patched. We weren't able to get it all finished and tar papered before we ran out of daylight yesterday. Hopefully we can get the patching done tonight and get the tar paper on tomorrow.
  9. DT says "winter come hinter" and looks to be highly favorable pattern developing especially considering the deep trough and strong jets developing through the country. Anybody following JB and LC these days?
  10. Ive seen annual blue grass sold before for emgerency repairs-- It has a tendency to leave bare spots the following year. Annual ryegrass is a superior choice for its durability and drought resistance but does not germinate as readily or as hardily as annual bluegrass. Rye has a better appearance too. Some golf course such as Chambers Bay in WA use annual blue grass in their greens.
  11. You can always try overseeding with annual blue grass (fastest to germinate and won't come back next year) and watering with a sprinkler. It will perk back up in no time
  12. Well the extra daylight makes for enormous vegatables which i think makes up for it!
  13. This summer is a bit how I imagine summers are out in Idaho, Montana,Minnesota, the Dakota's....etc-- maybe just a bit cooler on the hottest days.
  14. Indeed, My sister had her tent wedding in our back yard in Pottstown! What a wonderful time!
  15. The weather feels pretty average and grey lately.
  16. seems like an early spring. The most epic early spring I remember was 2012. I was a senior in HS and I remember the trees being leafed out by St. Patty's day
  17. Coverage at the mountain is starting to get very thin. We were skiing through puddles yesterday 4" might save the last two weekends for the season. If we can get down to 23F on Saturday Night, that would be perfect.
  18. A strong, consistent, early spring wind from the east normally casues an a bummer crop for maple syrup farmers. Especially, following prolonged and consistent cold.
  19. Freezing rain that never freezes is just... rain
  20. Its a pink nightmare thats for sure... Ice storms never verify this time of year. My forecast is rain.
  21. That was a bad storm, its the only ice storm I remember really packing the heat around here. There was one when I was up in Vermont but it was nothing for them to handle.
  22. 28hrs of continuous snowmaking-- 8 million gallons and counting!!
  23. My mountain still hasn't been able to open for skiing yet...
