Getting pissed off here

[ski220]

It could be worse

It could be worse. It looks like Vt. will be able to escape total destruction. A few inches of mixed is preferable to 50 degree rain. With some backside snow on top we may survive to ski another day. It could be an interesting month. Just have to pick your days from here on in. After all - I still have my free Stratton10K coupon to redeem.

Rainin in Waterbury, 10 miles south of Stowe and 15 miles north of Sugarbush. Though it is supposed to change over tonight and they're saying 4-7" of wet snow. The riding was great yesterday though I did see a couple bare spots - nothing too significant, but nothing a good 1-2 foot + dump wouldn't fix. After all March is the snowiest month and I'm optomistic, if not a little wet from headin' to the store. If it does drop below freezing tonight like they say it will, the roads are gonna be skating rinks - there's quite a bit of puddles out there, and the snowpack in my backyard is still 1-2 feet deep.

I just went out to the market and it's 60F in town and it's 57.9F here at home. Lots of rain came through, but no serious flooding is to be found locally anyway.

Still some high piles of snow in the market parking lot.

Here we are a short 20 minutes later and the temp just jumped 11 degrees. :blink: WTF? The winds are bookin' out of the SSW now too. That's not a good mix for the base. Sundown temps are still in the high 30's at the moment.

Thats your friendly neighborhood warm front coming through. The air here feels tropically sticky, almost like summer.

We're having thunderstorms in the NYC area. According to the Whiteface site the temp there during the afternoon was 22 degrees.
I looked at the Whiteface webcams; it wasn't raining but not clearly snowing either; socked in by cloud, quite foggy.

Temps have shot up here (Southern RI) as well. Our thermometer says 58. Pouring and very windy. Really a powerful storm. Too bad it didn't track further East. Hoping the ski areas further South can survive this one.

Pouring rain in Stowe.

Pouring rain in Stowe.

Crap!

 

[loafer89]

The rain has stopped altogether and the temperature is slowly settling back down and is at 54.7F. We still have yet to reach 60F this year which makes me happy.

Poured at belleayre today...Shut lifts for about 1/2 hr due to thunder storms in area.

On our side of the Green Mountains in the Champlain Valley we have been fluctuating between 20-28 degrees and it has been sleeting/freezing rain all day. We have a couple inches of something - sleet I guess on the ground. The roads are atrocious. According to the radar, it looks like it's raining on the other side of the gap - if anyone in the MRV wants to chime in.........

We got to a high of about 55*F, it's now slowly falling. Down to 52.3*F. Still windy, but not as roaring as before. I think the worst is over.

I love it when it snows like that, nice!


Seriously, my pow vibes are sent. It has worked twice this winter so don't fear. season is far from over for all.

FWIW I was walking in my yard in southern NH this afternoon and the snow was knee deep. It's not that warm though it is raining hard. It is March and I don't think we'll lose our base. I anticipate good spring skiing. We kinda lucked out in Jan & Feb. Some of those storms could have been this crap. The key at this point is to try to maintain an adequately flexible schedule to pick the best days.

 

[bobbutts]

This was our last washout rain storm for awhile I believe. One week of boring weather to come.. 2nd half of March is going to feature lots of natural snow.

Poured in Northfield all day today, just east of MRG. Prolly got an inch plus of rain.

Rained all day here in C-VT near Stowe/Sugarbush. Read that SB had to close SBX and Upper Mountain lifts due to icing...and that Burlington had really bad icing today. The Winter Warnings have been replaced with Flood Watches :angry: :x
