He's talking about my last trip to K Mart, the one time I've been wrong on conditions and had a kind of shitty day probably in the last half decade.

I didn't ski in December this year but I think we all got caught by surprise by the crappiness of El Nino.

And I probably would have been skiing trees unless the ground was bare... unless you haven't picked that up by now ;)

Cold air hanging on longer than modeled from the first live reports in the south = incremental positive news.

Guess you missed the call with the 9"-20" that fell last week in central/northern VT. I didn't, had fresh snow three mornings in a row.

DHS is right, you're 2 for 2 so far with your third coming tomorrow.

What about the system moving in on Friday?

I really don't want to bag my trip at the end of Feb...

I'm in the same boat. Temps will be something that need watching though, it's modeled on the good at the moment, but close, and given this season I'm taking nothing for granted. Could be decent if the mountains help it overperform.

Thanks. Would be great if So VT gets a delay in the move from snow to rain, but still looks like it's gonna happen by 6am. Not a lot of time for accumulation.

Nice for you to have a car right now. I have no idea what you're talking about otherwise.

Well lookey here, the maps are trending like I said it was gonna be. Good times for skiing coming up. I wonder who's gonna be the first to admit "Tuna called it first"..

It is nice to have a car. Really nice. This is why I am shocked that you aren't replacing your car for another few weeks. It is ski season, after all.

Snowing like crazy here in NJ.

Any chance this isn't a complete wash out and we at least lock in with a lot of ice? I'll take the ice if we get a couple more little snow events after this.

Its not ideal, but its better than destroying what base we have.

My wife has a car, my father has a car. I have a few other things to take care of right now besides making an impulse car purchase.
