A buddy of mine asked me to compile a list of last season's daily wet-bulb temps between two competing resorts to see if there is a meaningful difference between snow making opportunities. The areas are close to each other. One had a great season, another had a disasterous. The one with the disasterous season blamed it on the weather. My buddy wants to prove the disasterous season was the result of mismanagement.

If you live in Ct. you probably know what I'm talking about.

I've been poking around stats, couldn't find anything close. But before I despared, I figured if anyone knew where i could score than info (if in fact I could), it would be the good kind folk at AZ.

You might be able to find that kind of info for a close enough area using the Personal Weather Station info available through Weather Underground. They don't have wetbulb temps, but you should be able to calculate the info you need from what they do provide.

Check NOAA's historical data. There are probably stations close to both mountains (often at the peak). Depending on the station, they'll have a wide variety of data available.
