This had been talked about alot for a while I thought there was a warm air mass over Asia, It has been sitting there a while and was due to come this way. Jan is usually very cold with at least one thaw. I have decided its just going to be comfortable in the high 20's.

I am skiing at Sunday River/Sugarloaf from January 20-23rd, maybe it will only be 0F rather than the usual -25F. :wink:

Not like we haven't known this was going to happen since like October with the seasonal forecasts. At least it was fun while it lasted and was much better than could have possibly been expected or even hoped for.

Even if the warm does come east coast seems to have a nice thick base. It's not like its not going to dump several more times this season.


Everyone has gotten out right?

I'm happy that it's not going to be a week of 60 degree temps and rain..there'll still be skiing to be had after the thaw/freeze..it will just be a little firmer..it will be good for those who like mad steezy speed..After a thaw/freeze..wax is a moot point..

I know that not everybody has gotten out yet. On PASR even some of the regulars haven't skied due to Holiday shizzle and home improvements..crazy..the season is 1.5 months old already// Day 20 for me tomorrow..

Warren and I just checked into the Jordan Grand and there is a rediculous amount of snow here at Sunday River and it's a nice toasty 6F outside.

I am looking forward to some nice groomed in the morning and some tree skiing in the afternoon.8)

Whatever. They said December was going to be above normal and we're dabbling in the trees in Connecticut.... :blink: Not that it's a lot of fun, but still. My season is rockin' and rollin', so far. Some crap later this weekend and then back to cool weather. The Sunday precip will just firm things up. I don't think there will be much base erosion. We're doing fine. More than fine, actually. Get out there folks!

Right, Greg. Up here at least it just looks like a brief warm-up and there's a huge amount of base for this time of the year, so we'll be fine.

Of course we're snow lovers, so we'll whine a little about whatever NCP falls from the sky. As it is, this would be a great February, let alone a December. I'm optimistic about what January has in store.

I hate to be the pessimist, but isn't it always like that in January? At least at some point?
How can something always be above average?


(sorry for being an annoying smartass :razz:)
The kid makes a good point, you have to admit.
I merely meant that there always is a Jan thaw every year. "Above average" or not temps (per the so-called experts), there is always a period when it's warmer for a few days or a week, then it gets cold again. I remember some of these being as warm as the 60s. I'm not saying I like it, just that this doesn't seem like news to me because it always happens.

And to be fair, I'm not the one who claimed the temps would be "above average". I just said that it's not an unusual occurrence. ;)
