Killington Making Snow Tonight!

[Joshua]

A source that I trust has given me indications Killington will blow out the "mice" either tonight or tomorrow night.

There are some wind concerns tonight (although definately cold enough)

Tomorrow night will be calmer but not be as cool.

Either way....we all know Killington has a history of firing up the guns for the first frost.

Any official confirmations?

 

[Joshua]

i have scowered their site, no, but usually they dont rave about it till after they do it, usually just in case something doesnt go right!

im sure the pics will be up first thing in the morning if they do....

Any official confirmations?

They usually take a pic and put it up on there web site when blowing out the mice.

:beer:

the only make it on cascade and it usually melts by 9am.

weatherundergroud has Killington VT with a temp of 52 and a dew point of 36

For those of you who dont know, temp can't go below the dew point, so right now it would be a low of 36, but the air is still drying out from today...

Anyone live up there have a better reading? The report from weatherunderground is probably way down in the valley

Cound also be a bit outdated report. It's down to 47 at my house and the dew point is already under the magical number. I'd think Killington is colder. If it isn't, I'm buying a fricken snow gun right now, sticking a rope tow on the hill, and open up.

 

[Joshua]

where is your house?

are you in a valley?

 

[Joshua]

clouds and some showers up there may be messing up our chances....however if it clears up temps can drop fast and they usually blow the snow around 6am when its coldest, so still time

im sure they have a few mountain men hanging around ready to go....

they only need a few

 

[Joshua]

down to 48 degrees....can easily make it to freezing, lost 4 degrees in the past hour as winds calm down and sky's clear...

will we see that picture of fall colors and a white patch of man made K-Mart snow????

where is your house?

No, it's actually at one of the highest points east of the CT River. 1,024' above sea level. Some places in the area get up 1,300' with Wachusett being the highest point at 2,006'. It's usually 5-10 degrees colder here than most other parts of the state, but I'd think K would be colder by now.

You just made my day! :beer:

hey vermont people, any temp reports? dont think the ones on the net are very accurate, im sure its colder than 48, its that cold down here in CT!

Why can't a temperature get below the dewpoint? That just means there will be 100% humidity...

 

[Joshua]

once tempature meets dew point, equilibrium is reached, thats the simplest explanation.

 

[riverc0il]

isn't it suppose to be that a dew point can't get higher than the temp? i never heard of temps not being able to go below the dew point. or can dew points go negative cause tempature sure can!

 

[Joshua]

they can both be below zero, but the temp cant be below the dew point because it would be more than 100% humidity, and that not possible

 

[Joshua]

p.s saying the temp cant be below the dewpoint and the dewpoint cant be above the temp are the same thing...

just wanted to point that out

 

[ALLSKIING]

Can they be the same number?
