You guys are talking like it's April and the snowpack will disappear forever. Doesn't this happen (a couple times) every year in the Northeast?

Hopefully this is our January thaw, and things get good and stay that way afterward.

Has the Weather Channel given this storm a lame name yet? If not, I vote for Smaug.
Merry Christmas!

I agree with you and did enjoy myself a lot because this stuff happens every year. But I think it issue more now because if the extended holiday week when this happens and probably a lot of people who go the hill s a few times in winter this was very depressing for them and for ski and snowboarding hills about to louse lot of money so that means less improvements for over summer or worse.

Was this storm really that bad? It got very warm last and it is very mild now. But the wind and pouring rain seemed lesser than I thought it would be.

Burke went from 31 trails to 8. It was bad for my neck of the woods.

The best news I've read, was from Powderfreak on American, is that the snow pack in the Stowe survived the Grinch Storm. At least we are not starting over from scratch. Cold air looks to be on the horizon, and things should get better.

Seems to happen every year lately.

This is the northeast. The thaw happens every year but at different times each year. So statistically, it happens during the holiday period once every few years.
As for the mountains losing income, they knew it happens once every few years. But they always operate as though it will not happen THIS year! Well... it's no good wishing it never happens. It will, it's just a matter of which year. If it's not this one, it'll be next one or the one after that. Just like it WILL snow most years in the flat lands too.
So while I'm somewhat sympathetic of the mountains luck, I also feel like saying "you know it's coming, deal with it".

Skiing seemed to be above average right up until 12-24. Hope some of you were able to enjoy it. The resorts will bounce back as this happens every season. Most people don't even consider skiing before January anyway.

Most places appeared to hold up pretty well all things considered. Just a couple more days and it looks like we're in the clear!

Had a Christmas mid-afternoon dinner today over in Kingfield area, then a hike and eventually...a spin up around the mountain. Their temps didn't rise that drastically....think some of the rain/freezing rain hung onto the trees over on Brackett...closed for a day or few, but conditions didn't look like it changed that much....
