  1. So because it won't snow in Connecticut we need Summer? Those of us with Winter hobbies have 3 months of snow left. I don't understand this mindset of no snow at home means Winter is over. And it snowed in 2/1, not much, but a coating. Expecting every Winter to deliver is not reasonable. You really need to take up a Winter hobby.
  2. If you live and die by snowcover at home, CT isn't a reliable place for it year in and out. Who is it unhealthy for? Reliable snowcover is NNE, other than that it's hit and miss. At least this year we had a big snowfall in December, last year was much worse. My biggest snowfall last season was 7.5" in November.
  3. I should clarify that I want the April snow in the mountains. Maybe early April around here falling at night. But that April snow we had in 2016 was amazing. Mid 20's at noon with snow sticking to pavement.
  4. As much as you don't like Winter cold, I dislike Summer heat and humidity. If I didn't have this illness, I'd probably live in NNE. I would probably live in Burlington if I was healthy and could enjoy Winter more thoroughly.
  5. I want the early Fall cold shots. The Fall foliage needs it. That's the only thing that saved the season in 2019. It's suffering from global warming. I'm not on here during the Summer anyway. Wasn't last year. Summer weather is boring.
  6. I can wait for heat and humidity. Hate the combo and last Summer was awful. The PLS restricts my breathing and humidity makes it worse.
  7. I'll take snow in April, depends on what you do with it.
  8. Thanks for letting us know it's going to continue to be mild.
  9. Hopefully March and April are snowy and cold.
  10. Excellent time to ski, lengthening daylight and still fairly cold. The next 6 weeks are prime time for ski areas.
  11. WWA here for 1-2" of snow/sleet and some freezing rain.
  12. I remember this guy missing while skiing at Sugarloaf in 1998. Eventually found at Judsons. https://www.google.com/amp/s/archive.bangordailynews.com/1998/02/23/waiting-for-news-on-a-son-missing-students-family-seeks-clues/ https://archive.bangordailynews.com/1998/04/18/no-foul-play-in-mans-death-umf-student-gone-since-new-years-found-near-carrabassett-valley-bar/
  13. I don't like wearing goggles. But it's a good idea.
  14. And with weak legs I want to avoid ice and uneaven snow. I have more confidence with sunshine and a good field of vision.
  15. I don't like skiing when I can't see the snow surface, is that a problem? My eyesight isn't that good with my disease.
  16. Rangely seems to be doing okay. I looked at the webcams yesterday and there was enough cover.
  17. Forest fires wiping out thousands of acres of trees. Wells running dry, drought stricken farmers pointing angry fists at the sky
  18. I wanted to get out today and ski at Sundown, but it was a cloudy day this morning. The mountain faces West and doesn't get direct light for most of the day. The week ahead looks dismal for local skiing.
  19. Skiing continues for me into April on man-made snow. My last day last season was on April 12th at Stratton with frozen groomer. Full sunshine and temperatures around freezing. My son's last day was June 1st at Killington. I'm looking forward to Summer and swimming in lake Mattawa with my son. Maybe some kayaking.
  20. Agree today is okay, don't want the rain this week. Last Winter was this way with tons of snow in ski country. Frozen groomer around here was nice.
