RootDKJ Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 It was -10's to -20's all week at K. I'm getting used to it. I have a double header coming up. Sunday the 18th and Monday the 19th. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 i have off thursday-monday.... and its going to be brutal going up for AM sessions. Quote
HouseMuzik Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 i have off thursday-monday.... and its going to be brutal going up for AM sessions. It's going to be cold right through the 20th it looks like.. with a couple snow chances and cold cold temps the amount of new snow on the slopes at the end of this could be pretty ridiculous don't u think?

zaldon Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 this is my last week off before classes start up again, than its all night riding... Quote
bigdaddyk Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 ...the amount of new snow on the slopes at the end of this could be pretty ridiculous don't u think? No. There are only supposed to be a couple moisture starved clippers. Cold air masses like this tend to surpress storms to the south. Like a meteorologist said a few days ago, it's going to be too cold to snow. The atmosphere also gets really dry, so anything that tends to fall will evaporate. It's almost like a kick below the belt. Quote

DiMe Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 They might blow more. MLK weekend is coming up. I think all the resorts in the area are gonna take advantage of the ridiculas cold spell. The colder it is the more snow they can make and with it being below zero it almost forces them to make powder which piles up like crazy. If they can make base snow during the day and the bitter overnight temps make masses of piles and layer it over the course of a week we could be riding into April Quote
HouseMuzik Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 I was thinking the same thing this could be an almost endless winter if mother nature forgets to look at the calender..we need to do anything we can to keep this arctic blast in place..it's really not right to sacrifice a goat but maybe some bras and panties as a sacrifice to the snowgods!!! Ratios with these clippers will be high.. thus it will not take much moisture to make 4" of snow or so.. normally the ratios are 10:1 .. these temps are conducive to 25:1+ ratios. So .1" of precip will give you 2.5" of snow we should get at least several inches of real stuff.. plus tons of blown stuff.. I think if this pans out... it could be a very long season if we're lucky!

VT temps would be in the 30:1 40:1 ratio - http://www.crh.noaa.gov/crh/?n=tm-116 Anything above 10 or 15:1 though and it all can blow away or compact to .25" Quote

Whiteouts anyone? haha nahh not that bad. Either way, this is definitely good news all around. Quote
