Last night about 5pm Stowe had a good inch or two at the base.

Most of the AZ webcam links are broken. That's the thing about web sites. They move everything once a year, needed or not!

Belleayre got 4 inches of snow yesterday.

Although it looks like it is gonna stay warm for a while, the week of the 22nd is looking good so far with temps in the low teens over night for belleayre.

I'll call them as I see them - "harbingers", not a license to ski!

I see some flakes in various forecasts for later this week. Hopefully we'll get rid of this bad weather soon enough!

Later this week looks better. This weekend, in SoVT...it was 60 on Saturday. Grrrrr!

So how many ski areas will get enough cold wx to open by Thanksgiving? Not many unfortunately... :???:

This weekend bodes well for snowmaking temps for most (especially N VT, N NH, N ME). Whether they choose to make snow or wait for the natural stuff is up to each resort. Those who have had partial openings already should be in good shape to work the guns through the weekend (K, SR...the Loaf will try for this weekend). Temps will be back and forth early next week and then looking for another cold shot trying to work in Thanksgiving weekend.

I'm starting to get anxious. We're all the way until Thanksgiving before the cold starts to arrive.
