talking to PC who is on the turnpike dodging fallen trees. roads mighty slick too.

1 pm update. Beer can measuring device is almost covered. hopefully the power doesnt go out, but trees are starting to bend a little. venturing out for a sandwich.

snowing at a pretty decent clip in Albrightsville. not sticking to the roads yet, temp at 30.9 degrees.

Yeah, that snow bullshit must really suck.

agree. hoping for anything earlier than that is just setting yourself up for dissapointment seeing how that really doesnt happen that often. 11/11/11 is really being optimistic. would be nice.....but......i would bet some beers it wont happen.

i honestly had no idea what the OP was talking about. nice.....lunch specials at Frost. shows you how much i pay attention to the lodge.

its Newark, NJ, just without the airport, and the houses are further apart. and i mean no disrespect to anyone who loves Newark.

pocono country place was built specifically for commuters out of new york. they sold homes to people for 170K that where really worth 120K. unfortunatly people didnt catch on to it until years later when they got tired of commuting and gas prices went up, and when they decided to sell. real estate agents would tell them what a lovely home they have, and they should have no problem getting 120k for it. there are a ton of foreclosures in that development. that place was just bad from the get go.

how am i supposed to eat soup if i dont have an envolope?

they rent it, and use it when its not rented. so for me to use it i kind of feel like i would possibly take rent away from them, i just dont have the place at my disposal. its not my place, its theirs. if i go with them, its kind of a last minute thing, and i'm skiing alone. i'd rather ski with my buddies.

my parents have a place off Sachem trail. havent been there in years, like before Jackson Gore.

crystal ball says......to early to tell. i always kick around the idea of a trip to vermont early season, but then i quickly come to my senses about driving 12 hrs back and forth to enjoy "early season" conditions. it could just be me, but i dont see how spending all that dough is worthwhile unless the mountain is damn near 100%.

very nice this morning.

Yawn.....and the never ending debate continues.....

maybe?? no. snow in the glades at frost is kind of a given. They dont look at them as an after thought, they listen to thier patrons.

Beat me to it.

We expect North America and the Pacific Northwest region to experience a very severe winter, the Cascades snowpack is likely to blahbidy blah blah blah blah increased levels due to the negative (cold) phase of PDO. Our weather models are also showing an increased likelihood for major snow events in Northeastern and Midwestern parts of the US throughout December 2011 and January 2012, that could see severe blizzard conditions hit New York City and Chicago. i never really put too much faith in these long range forecasts. fun to look at, but dont want to set myself up for a huge disapointment. i thought most people said Philly would get like 20" of snow last year, but that got blown out the window, and we got like 12" in december in one shot. i've also heard this winter will be kinda cold,temperatures going above and below normal, with some snow, the threat of a lot of snow that turns into a big flurry event, maybe some ice, and a few uncalled for wet days.

as much as i like your optimism, i think you are setting yourself up for disapointment.

i was sort of over in that area on an exploration mission last year. at the time there was marginal snow coverage and put it im my head that i needed to get back there when conditions were better, and someone was with me. unfortuanatley it was kinda late in the season and never got a chance to get back there. definetly planning on going back to check things out this year, provided we get decent coverage.

nice. thinning out some trees on the left side of that picture would make for a nice run. cant wait. risk it gets alot of snow in it.

i'm with you. this weather is bull shit.

i miss skiing.

this is good stuff Jordan. 2 1/2 hour hike.....holy shit.

good stuff. off to install an air conditioner.

see TTC6. didnt he have season passes? or was that to sesame place?
