A flatlander storm Wednesday?

[jimmywilson69]

We need it here in PA too. This should open my home hill. Even without the storm temps would allow snowmaking for an opening. That is of course if our corporate overloads in CO will allow it

This is a ski forum we like to tell people not to jinx the storm. Get over it.

And do you also believe that magical fairies and unicorns make the rainbows?

This forum used to have fantastic weather discussion. Then posts like yours regularly appeared and that changed. It’s too bad.

Changed to Wed, Thurs..gotta work Friday
But i'll stay at the wonderful Sunview Motel. A lot of places are fully booked including The Kaatskill club. Will be interesting to see how many make the drive Thursday morning if it hits as expected. Hopefully they don't groom down every inch of it.

What are you looking at for totals? Gonna have to be a big one to make it worth it. Bell had two trails open from the top this weekend and everything else is bare dirt.

Depending on which model you look at, it could be anywhere from a dusting to a foot

Many prediction are for up to a foot. Hunter has 3 long trails open so far and the North side looks ready. To me its worth it as I don't want to drive 2 hours in a storm and the Sunview is 100 bucks. I do this all the time and its worth it. Bell does not have much of anything open yet. Last year when the bifg storm hit I was at Bell when everything was closed..but that stopped no one from poaching everything. One of the better days that year..snow up to your knees..and weeds.
I'll hit Bell when they get at least 5 runs open. Have to see what happen at Platt.

Its all tounge it cheek. I love weather discussion. I love snow and we haven't had a storm like this in southern PA in quite some time. so yeah I don't want to jinx it. And yes who doesn't believe in rainbows and unicorns. You should try it.

 

[cdskier]

Eastern PA resorts and NJ should do well from this. The Catskills are right on the border though...there's a decent chance they could end up with only a few inches there. Or they could end up with closer to 12...

I reserved Wed and Thurs at Jack Frost even though I have zero faith in any weather forecast.

Rainbows and unicorns..got it

As an attempt at a joke, it failed spectacularly!

People are getting to tunnel vision these days. This board includes people from all the way in Maine to West Virginia! There's no chance of any "jinx" of rain for those north of Massachusetts! The only different outcome for the majority of north country is either a nice natural storm or many days of good snow making weather. So your "tongue in cheek" fell as flat as the land this storm will fall on.

Hint: a winky would have helped massively, if you really want to persist on trying to be an internet jester.

Looking good for you Poconos guys. Beautiful mount airy lodge.

Wow, some people really need to get over themselves.

I agree. Why get upset when someone says “don’t jinx it”? That’s fucked up. Must be fun to hang with.

The issue for me is what I said earlier. There used to be some phenomenal weather and storm discussion on this board. Then it became trendy for people to swoop in and criticize any discussion of a storm more than a day or two out. So the people who had really good expertise to share got fed up and left.

 

[kingslug]

Where's this guy when you need him...
oh...yeah...oh well

 

[dblskifanatic]

Nice to see some snow in the low country... Butternut and B. East need a jump start.

Well looks like two in a row for Southern NE. After all the R*** this will help those areas. Just not going north enough!

I never really thought of it in that way, but I think you are correct. This site used to be vibrant and full of discussions, particularly weather related. Now its dead, absolutely dead. I recall a few years back the constant admonishments from the host or others about not discussing a storm more than 7 days out or some silliness like that and then you had to do so only in the correct forum. Oh well, you reap what you sow. RIP.

Only it gets worse. This wasn't 7 days out. It's less than 5 days.

Personally, I learnt from the weather discussion on this board when it WAS discussed way back. Those learning applies to more than just skiing. But either others didn't learn, or don't want to learn. Now there's no one left who could offer meaningful discussion any more.

(I suspect even if there ARE people knowledgeable on the subject, they won't bother posting as they anticipate the hostile reception)

 

[kingslug]

The way the world is right now..Humor is at a low point. I was thinking about this the other day. Hard to be vibrant in the middle of all this misery.
so I go skiing and forget about it for a while.
