I dunno, I'd be REEEAAAALY hesitant to compare it to '93. Personally, I'm just hoping it cools down in Southern NH at least enough to give snow instead of R@1#.

Are you kidding??? I just looked and we were gonna go wayyyy, I'm talking wayyy up North to The Balsams, but I dunno.....the weather report is calling for RAIN way up there! I'm bummin hard! Hubby doesn't want to chance driving three hours to "maybe" go skiing.......I'd almost be willing to chance it but we're also trying to find a "dog" friendly place to stay on Sat to try to get two days of skiing in.....to me, it doesn't look too promising.....

Here's the sort of thing he's talking about I suspect.



Many meterologists are disagreeing, or at least feeling, the models feel wrong. If it tracks further east, that big red ubah snow area could pop right over us. Check out:

Good summary.

Hummm....well, guess we gotta wait and see....if that's the case, then Sunday may be a better option to go somewhere, maybe just not drive 3hrs, someplace a little closer to home......

I'm hoping that the track slides a bit further east....ppppllllluuuuueeeeasssseee!

I used to ski in the rain all the time. It's much better than the cold air that rushes in on the backside and freezes everything.

Many places close when the forecast is heavy rains .. I know Crotched and Gunstock has in this season already.. Weather forecast this morning doesn't bode well for this weekend.

I kind of like skiing in light rain. Hero snow and no crowds. Skiing, or doing any outdoor activity really, in a real deluge would probably not be so much fun. We weren't intending to go very far North this weekend anyway. But given the predictions I wouldn't invest the time or money to travel North even if we had planned to.
