GFS likes it. Pavers aren’t on yet but probably go on the 17th if the place opens. In a world run by lawyers, god forbid someone slips and falls somewhere they are visiting almost solely for the winter weather. Gotta love the irony. You have skiers at a ski resort skiing on snow and worried about falling on a snowy walk?............. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be hucking cliffs and steep trees and ice waterfalls all day but never declare victory until after we navigate the stairs to the lodge and the trek across the parking lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, personal injury lawyers salivating at slip and falls. No one is worried about it until they do it. I won’t lie, I haven’t hurt myself skiing 100+ days a year except back when I was 10 years old… I hit a tree and broke my wrist… but I have dislocated my knee walking around Stowe in ski boots and slipping. A surprising amount of injuries come from having thousands of people walking around on snow/ice every day. That’s the irony of it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you’ve walked down a set of steep stairs in ski boots, it’s hard to know lol. Like all the memes that say the most dangerous thing you did at a ski resort was walk downstairs to the basement bathrooms in a base lodge . 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss all the trees at high speed powder explosions in the woods, then get crutches from slipping and falling under the truck while loading the skis. Sounds like a day of skiing. Anyway, nice to see a WAA up. Think we see 1” then IP/ZR and drizzle in PM. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 These recent GFS runs have had some awesome looks in clown range. Hopefully we can get something to setup resembling that. Still some differences between EPS and GEFS for that period but they aren’t horribly far off. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeppy Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 2hr delay for school tomorrow...is it just me or does that seem ridiculous? New superintendent being overly cautious perhaps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New superintendent being overly cautious perhaps. Chance of the first icy morning commute in some areas probably driving the decision. Many districts use a NWS Advisory statement in effect at the bus time during the morning commuting period as a reason to run with a delay, especially early in the season. Also, the decision is often a collaborative call with local DPW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 One of my fellow Development Review Board members has a vineyard and winery. He has left quite a few grapes on the vine to make ice wine. The temp needs to get down to 17° when the grapes are harvested in order to officially be classified as ice wine. I’m not sure when we are getting that low. Maybe Sunday night?
