I guess they dont ski?

The gf and I love it. More moonlight snoeshoeing! And she's a cross country skier too.
Family's in South Jersey and on the shore. Much more into boating and summer activities.

Growing up I don't remember seeing too many people around who were skiers. For the adults, snowstorms were something to be endured.

This might have me skiing a little bit more in the Pocono's in March then I had originally planned.

It's really amazing. For once, the Poconos arent getting screwed. I imagine this is likely their best season in decades. I skied Shawnee on December 15, and the conditions were great then, normally I would NEVER even consider skiing in the Poconos before January.

where do you pull the maps from?

Depends. Some of them I "steal" from others if I happen to see them posted, and some of them (like the Canadian below) I ran myself. (I didnt bother posting the Canadian as it came so far south and is so much slower and colder that it's probably not a good run. My guess is the 00z Canadian will trend back to its northern position tonight). It's public information. The Euro is a bit different as you have to pay for precipitation maps from those cheap bastards.

This is going to be interesting. Cold is really suppressing this thing south. If it moves north more the Catskills and Berkshires could really crank some high ratio fluff out of this.
