In his defense he sleeps in the woods, in freezing temps night after night while backpacking through the Adirondacks. Im actually surprised he turned it on lol

Thats badass…my parents had a real fireplace in the house I grew up in and now they have one of those they turn on with a remote control.

Yes but prefer the wood stove. My husband always cuts a lot of wood so why not.

He’s got a lot of warm gear…

Bahahaha good one about the oecker, you’ve got jokes!!!! @RajeevGuptaSucheeta dicks out for Harambe

Thanks, I'll have my peckers out. They enjoy watching the webcams of Blue Mountain Hills Stations.

I cant believe you are still hanging on.

No idea maybe I’ll email Jim Doily and ask him to put a webcam in the ponds.

Paxonpro welcome back to PASR..

IIRC you have to be able to argue your water system is completely separate from the water system of the local regulatory body in order to not comply. It makes sense as otherwise you'd just have everyone digging holes all over the place.

NHN might be coming to an end if predicted temps hold true...

@GrilledSteezeSandwich How are the snowmaking retention ponds looking???

Golf course's that pull water from their own retention pond can be put on water restrictions in a drought emergency, I have seen that happen in the past. But as JL said, the ski resorts could possibly get an exemption, due to the fact that it would have a severe effect on the local economies.

Do you have regular heat?

When do you send your address? I want to attend to hang out with my good friends @GrilledSteezeSandwichand @JFskiDan

And an inch of rain for us , seems awkward cheering for rain. There’s lots of oils from cars imbedded in macadam that could float up with the rain so driving might be interesting at first. I regenerated my neutralizer on my water system at home a week ago and my well level went down quite a bit but recovered. None of my neighbors have had wells run dry so far. Hoping for a dusting at my place so I can ski some fast grass.

As far as i know, nobody has public water for snowmaking, so i cant see how the EPA would be enforcing how someone like Blue uses the water they have on their land. I have a house in the Poconos on a well, and havent gotten any info that says i am under any kind of drought watch, although it would be stupid to be using water all willy nilly and everything, but my water use doesnt really affect anybody else except me. But people around me up there are simply as dumb as they come. it has crossed my mind about Jack Frost though, they pull water out of the lehigh. dont know if they could have some restrictions, or if they could have a problem with where their intake is, like if it is now above the water line. Big Boulder i think could probably empty Boulder lake if they wanted to. Might not be the best idea, but that water isnt used for drinking. i guess some could be filtered into the ground, and trickle into wells, but its not like its the reservoir for drinking water.

Yo yo yo might snow in the high Poconos Friday morning pretty good. Nothing amazing but a good improvement over 80 degrees.

Restless skiers and snowboarders will meet at brown, barren ski resorts to duel it out over who gets to ride the gun testing patch. Roving bands of banditos will ravage western resorts, rustling snow all the way back to PA in a modern twist on boot legging. They will be fine, no matter the drought they will get an exemption.

As we all know PA ski resorts rely heavily on snowmaking. How will the severe drought conditions and water restrictions effect ski resorts ability to make snow? https://wheb.iheart.com/featured/lend-a-helping-can/content/2024-11-06-pocono-mountains-region-under-drought-watch/ Quotes from article above: "The Pocono Mountains have been placed under a Drought Watch by the state's Drought Task Force." "If conditions worsen and the state declares a Drought Emergency, voluntary water restrictions will become mandatory."

I have a feeling my first day of this season will be at belle although $91 for a lift ticket this weekend is kinda crazy. I didn't get a frequent skier card this year. Hoping they open next week mid week

We’ll take whatever we can get.

It’s bad, I’m worried about our well.
