moneypitmike Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Still a little nippy out. Guess we'll have a below-normal day. 19.1/4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Just took the dog out. 26.2F/4 Very dry and pretty cold... So this is what below normal feels like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 was thinking about making some snow tonight in MBY. Sitting at 26 right now, forecasted low of 26. If we really stay at this temp I don't know if it will be worth it. Will we really stay here all night/rise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 19F as BOX's p-n-c low, but I think I will go below that a bit until after midnight That 4F td is awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to get down to 23-24 within the next hour to feel comfortable. I think I'm going to go hook everything up regardless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoarfrostHubb Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 how is WAWA? Conditions last night were not good. We only went for 2 hours. The rain Tuesday night froze solid and the groomers just packed it down. Ice bowl on all trails we were on. Rough going. And the wind blew lots of leaves onto some of the runs. On the other hand, it was empty for a Christmas week evening...lol. Literally no wait for the lifts. Looking at the webcams, they have really been going nuts with the snowmaking. Added another summit trail (10th, my favorite) today. Crowds still look low. Hopefully they can widen some of the trails, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 A freakin' gorgeous winter day in New England today... temps in the teens in the valley and around zero at the peaks, not a cloud in the sky and a light breeze out of the north to make you feel alive.

codfishsnowman Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 BDL only increased from 38 to 38.1 for average Dec temp and yesterday was plus 14 above normal...does that seem off to anyone else? i thought they would be .3 or .4 anyway...i do not think we can pull off warmest Dec but should do second warmest..today will avg at or just below normal i guess.

snowman21 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 BDL only increased from 38 to 38.1 for average Dec temp and yesterday was plus 14 above normal...does that seem off to anyone else? i thought they would be .3 or .4 anyway...i do not think we can pull off warmest Dec but should do second warmest..today will avg at or just below normal i guess. Well a +14 day at BDL is 42F, or a difference of 4 degrees from the monthly mean. This late in the month I wouldn't expect a significant impact on the monthly average. Mathematically, the impact of a single day on the monthly mean is as follows: ( y - x ) / n where n is the current date, x is the monthly average, and y is the latest daily number. Using n = 28, x = 38, and y = 42, the impact on the monthly mean would be +0.14F, or +0.1F, pushing the monthly mean from 38 to 38.1 as you have noted.

ChrisM Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Nice work Chris. Hey, do you pay your parents for the electricity and water before the bills comes in or after? Costs a mere few dollars for a multi hour run. Would not cost much if he has a well... lol 22.4F/5 And that's why... That's pretty solid for 2 hours with a homemade system I would imagine. Yes, pretty solid indeed. I moved it downhill now, got a bit under a foot base up on the top of my backyard and now building a base lower down. Should have "top to bottom" skiing by tomorrow lol.

Snow Bow Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 progress pic about 2-2.5 hours into the run nice, very nice. Yeah, looking at what your producing I've decided mine is barely worth it compared to what you get for results. But it's more of a novelty for me. Usually I don't have to worry about making snow living where I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
