is that the same way they measure there vertical drop? :dunce:


Hahaha, it's funny I give K-mart a lot of crap, but in reality I like it, it's a short drive away from where I live. However there "bigger" "more" mantra makes it easy to pick on them. Especially when their vertical is laughable, there snow tally's are pretty amusing from time to time, they are not the largest mountain in the east, etc, etc!

The one thing they do seemingly get crap for that they don't deserve is crowds........i rarely wait in line and most waits are under 5 minutes.

your 'name' is quite appropriate :stirpot:

lots of members here like to stir up Killingtonshtsrms ;)

OkOkOk! We get it guys, we're geeks.

Now let's get back to the point, aka, the likelihood for a bad snow year. :-D

While we all know that the numbers he was looking at where intentionally placed by agencies working to cover up clandestine operations for Killington to ruin HS's life... Wait, got sidetracked there....

Aaaannyhooooooo, I read at one of the weather sites earlier this year that, when tracked over some number of years, El Ninyo, La Ninya, etc did have a graphable impact on snowfall amounts in some areas of the northeast. Anyone got a link to this? I looked via google and couldn't find it.

That is close, but somewhere I was reading data which plotted the same information, but had also showed it on a map by region.

I think I found the source of what I was talking about here

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/view.php?id=21664

specifically, the following:

NASA said:
In the Northeast, in a line that extends up the Appalachian Mountains from central Virginia through Maryland and New Jersey to western Vermont, most snowfall changes occur in mid-winter. The region receives less snow during a La Niña winter than in "neutral winter," that is, one without an El Niño or La Niña. Conversely, more snow falls in this region during an El Niño year.

The Ohio Valley receives less snow in early and mid-winter during both El Niño and La Niña, than in the winters without them. The Midwest (southern Wisconsin, southern Minnesota, Iowa, and northern Illinois, Indiana) shows the same trend but only during mid-winter.
