ColoradoHigh Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 This weather is pissing the eff off. Its FIFTY FRIGGIN DEGREES OUT SIDE AND RAINING. WHERE IS THE COLD?! WHERE IS THE SNOW?! WHERE IS THE COLD DECEMBER? This is going to be a long, warm, rainy winter. I'm about to move to California for some snow. Fu(k this. This weather sucks, and I'm getting pissed off at all of the 'weather men' from Accucrap, and Wussies.com (weather.com)...They can't predict the weather from when their dog will take a crap. Who agrees with me? Quote
Johnny Law Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) What's happening is that some features have set up that force storms to stay west of the apps and push warm air up ahead of them then once they pass, the cold air sloshes back in behind them. Three times since october this has happened, hopefully the system will change and we can get a more regular season. Edited December 10, 2008 by Johnny Law Quote
toast21602 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 not me, but please, move to Cali. Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Posted December 10, 2008 not me, but please, move to Cali. I would LOVE to move to Cali if that means a decent winter. This ain't happening in the East this year. Hopefully I'm wrong. Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Posted December 10, 2008 It's only one day of warmth and rain..then back to winter..It's hard for me to remember an entire winter month where it didn't get warm and rain at least once..some seasons we get rain everyday..the manmade snow will hold up well to todays weather but up in Vermont the natural snow trails and glades will be hurting for certain and they'll most likely lose most of their natural snowpack.. 63 degrees in Philadelphia 57 degrees here in the A 52 degrees at Mount Pocono 41 degrees at Stowe.. Chippy quit being such a pessimist..I skied Nosedive at Stowe last week on all natural snow and the 6-pack and Challenge open at Blue on Friday..and after this warm day..it's supposed to get...cold and snowy.. Monday will be back into the 50's. I'm not gonna be expecting any sort of big snow fall, cause if I do, and it never happens, i'll be further let down. Quote
ColoradoHigh Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Posted December 10, 2008 Well if it's in the 50s on Monday it will be nice spring conditions..be happy it's ski season.. I don't want to see see/ski spring condition in the middle of December. C'mon. Spring conditions in the MIDDLE OF DECEMBER? How the he|| can I be happy about that? Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 its just mother natures little way of saying "winter hasnt begun yet". winter actually begins sunday december 21st. be happy about the weather we have had, and the fact theres plenty of man made on the ground in december. i too am not a fan of this warm rain, but, theres not much i can do about it, so i dont get to uptight about it.

ColoradoHigh Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) quit bitching. it's making you look stupid. we have all had the opportunity to ski since November. There have been plenty of threads in seasons prior of people bitching about the weather being so shitastic. Why does this thread make me look stupid? Stop singling me out. Its getting on my fu(king nerves. Edited December 10, 2008 by Chippy Quote
toast21602 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 its making you look stupid because it is the first day all season that it has been 50+ and rainy. Its not even winter yet, 11 more days and it will be. Stop being so negative and be happy that you even have the opportunity to ski so far this year. you are getting on all of our nerves by stomping around like a hot head and cursing up a storm about one freakin' rainy day and the weather men who are never right. get over it.

Robert2 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 It rarely snows enough in December to keep a ski resort open so we get real lucky to have such great snow making at JFBB. We NEVER rely on natural snow for the base and then the pile of man made snow is really nothing more than snow cone solid ice.... 4 feet deep of hardpack. This needs cord grooming to keep an edge riding. IF THE LIFTS ARE RUNNING I'm THERE riding. 5 degrees or 50 degrees... dress for it. Last year the only day I remember that they shut down the lifts once the season started was during a THUNDERSTORM. Quit your bitching and go ride a hill in the rain. A rain suit costs $25 now at Kmart so you can ride all day and still be dry. Why complain about warm or wet skiing? I guess you've never been to a wet T shirt contest. Quote
JFskiDan Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 i do a little snowplowing for myself....trust me when i say snow in december is truly a gift. i would actually say snow in december is not the norm. does anyone remember when it hit 70 degrees (in philly) for several days in december like maybe 5 years ago? now that was one sucky december.

toast21602 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Because spring conditions rule..if they can't blow snow..why not enjoy soft snow.. are you going up today? it looks like there might be a nice break in 2 or so hours and i'm thinking of heading up then... Quote
moe ghoul Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 I can't think of a single December in recent memory where we didn't have a December warm spell with rain. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 I'm going up afterwork..I checked the website to make sure Blue didn't do a Camelback but they're operating as usual. If it's pouring like this I'll probably just ski for several runs and bounce but maybe it will be light rain or even clear..I won't know unless I go.. what time will you be up there? Quote
Johnny Law Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 what a weird storm......me thinks someone at NOAA is drunk. Quote
Justin Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Quit bitching. I have 7 days before christmas, thats the most I ever had. Plus Boulder blew all that snow for this very reason. They expected a thaw and now they have a really good base to wait it out with. Quote
moe ghoul Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Stopped raining in Philly a few hours ago. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 i'll be heading up to Blue in about 30 minutes. hopefully this band of rain hitting us now will be over by then. Quote
AngryHugo Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 I should be up around 4 - 4:30. I'll look for you guys in the hero snow. Quote
toast21602 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 I should be up around 4 - 4:30. I'll look for you guys in the hero snow. did i see you in the ticket office yesterday morning? or was that somebody else with blue pants.... Quote
AngryHugo Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 did i see you in the ticket office yesterday morning? or was that somebody else with blue pants.... might've been. My last day there was Saturday. you rock helmet with a visor, right? Quote
toast21602 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 sure do. anyway... i'll be up today. Quote
Schif Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 45 here and the rain stopped early in the morning. The mountains have snow and they all are set to weather the warm spells. Might as well enjoy going to class and not freezing for a day! Quote
AngryHugo Posted December 10, 2008 Report Posted December 10, 2008 Just saw this on Blue's website. I guess I'll just see everyone Sunday. High of 54, periods of rain today. CLOSING AT 4PM TODAY WEDNESDAY 12/10, REOPENING AT 8:30AM THURSDAY. Quote
