I go by Bolton Valley every day. They've been hammering the bottom of the hill and of yesterday it was holding up. The problem is all of the snow has melted out of the valleys. Even the ice from the springs has fallen off or melted.

Heading up there tomorrow to ski Fri, Sat and Sun tho I may head up to Jay one day. Have been checking their webcams today and doesn't seem they got hammered by as much rain as originally forecasted - hopefully some snow tonight

Some people confuse climate and weather. We've been stuck with some bad weather patterns the last few years it will bounce back at some point. Climate change plays a part but its not like some people seem to think that we're never going to see another snowy winter

I havent heard anyone say it will never snow again. Climate change is raising the average temperature and potentially also the variance. And that is going to mean more of your storms/precipitation events will be snow rather than rain.

Honestly that kind of snow can be a pain in the ass and shuts everything down for days often.

I am worried with up to 3 feet hitting utah let alone 12'

 

[kingslug]

3 feet not so bad..I got 6 feet in a week in jan at PC...winds were a bit of a problem...
LCC had some issues as they got more of course..

Several Maine ski mountains announce Thursday closures

Some popular ski resorts cited a dramatic temperature shift as the reason for deciding to keep their doors closed.

Soft bumps and goggle tan. At least it's not the 80 degree Prez week from 2015 (?) That was a total meltdown.

 

[kingslug]

Once it corns up its great. Maybe a mid March storm???
That would be nice.

 

[tumbler]

Right now, the ring of fire, the volcanoes around the Pacific are playing havoc with the weather. You'd have to fly thousands of 747s around the earth for a thousand years to top the heat and moisture that was pumped out last year alone.

Keep me postal.
