[SkiDog]

I know there have been a 100000000 threads related to the weather lately, and MANY MANY RANTS....., and I know its totally depressing, but I have to ask.

Whats everyones take on this weekends upcoming "storm"...definatley looks like its going to be rain again. What is this going to do to the already meager offerings on the East Coast.

I'll just wait and see. If I ran my life on everyone's forecasts (including NWS and weather babes), I'd never get out. Going back out next Wednesday.

The FGR is so hardpacked that I don't think it will degrade the base. It will put more ice atop, cats will crunch it up, you'll have more FGR. Loon made snow again last night. Resorts are still piling $$ into snomaking this early in the season, so at least it will give us a base.

Should make for some great paddling. Should put a hurting on the thin snow pack we have, but it looks like lingering snow showers after the fact so who knows.

More Seasonable

"MORE SEASONABLE TEMPERATURES" are near and dear to my heart

I agree...even if the reports are correct, at this point, waiting for better weather is just going to make my ski season shorter...

I plan on going out on Sunday unless it's pouring NCP. I'm sure there will be something white to slide around on.

All it means is that I might get wet skiing this weekend.

And the meager offerings will get wet too.

I am breaking out the rain gear and on the positive side it shouldn't be all that crowded either..

Are you staying local? I think I'll be heading to Pats...they're up to 17 trails now.

Rain is not stopping me this weekend, I look at it as a way to soften up the hardpack. My only dilema is where.
