Warm Vermont fall could mean warm winter?

I hope this article doesn't turn out to be true,
But so far it has.

I can only speak anecdotally, but it seems that every year that same article comes up and we still get snow and cold. The last two falls have been mild, but we eventually got snow. It is a pattern issue right now. FWIW we are having a snow shortfall in Utah as well.

Yeah, we had a warm couple weeks and dampens things up but we''ll get slammed...

I'm driving 3000 miles in a couple weeks to a place that is barely skiing at all. It's been a sucky fall for many but yet still very early. I'm not worried and neither should you be.

Check out the post on the Mad River Blog. The Blogger seems to refute that hypothesis, thank god.

I seem to recall that the first part of the 2006/07 season, pretty much NO one was open even into the first weeks of December, and it seemed like things were doomed.

Then we had the Valentines Day Blizzard, the St. Patrick's day storm, and pretty much fantastic conditions late into spring.

The Burlington Free Press is a total rag, pay no mind.

Completely unrelated, my all-time BFP headline is, "Dead Corpse Found Floating In River" (this was about 10 years ago and I still haven't forgotten).

You know, because they had to specify what with all the "live corpes" floating around up there.

DON'T SAY THAT. EVER. I've got way too many vouchers. I may be forced to quit my job and move to SLC.
:roll:

Look at that tram pic you have.Egads! How many sardines can you pack into a bus? This entirely explains why I avoid them.

All I can hear is the rain on the roof tonight!
Can't wait till the weather turns....

Stages of Grief

It appears that the AZ community has transcended the stages of grief

1. Denial: "This can't be..." They are closed?
2. Anger: "This is so unfair..." - the whole forum gets cranky
3. Bargaining: "I'll do anything to bring back - ..." We'll get slammed soon
4. Depression: "I can't bear this sadness..." - It's raining. Again."
5. Acceptance: Not necessarily an easy acceptance...Well, if it's gonna be that way, I guess we'll just talk about shopping and Vonn's divorce.

The tone of this forum appears to be at the acceptance phase.

Psych counselors suggest support groups and professional therapy.

This is Blasphemy! (I'm still at stage 1)

I remember last fall being very warm in NY. The winter was definitely plenty cold and snowy.

 

[hammer]

I'm stuck on stage 3...waiting for winter to arrive. Getting out last Friday helped.

Screw you, Burlington Free Press.

It was 51 degrees just now in Millbury. I am seriously contemplating just packing up my fold out chairs and spending the rest of the day at the beach.

Next weekend cold coming

Next weekend cold coming

Winter is coming. We are just getting started.

In western New Jersey the golf courses are all still open. :-(
