Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[Ride Delaware ?]

Go ahead, lets hear it... Its only November 16th and the real winter season hasn't started yet... Well I don't want to fucking hear it anymore... This up and down weather is cramping my style... If it would even stick to the long term averages then we would be skiing and riding at several mountains by now... Its cold a couple days, then warm a week... I am obviously going through some serious snowboarding withdraw right now... There is hope in the ten day forecast... If it holds then maybe some PA mountains will be open the first weekend in December... Maybe... Why does Northeast weather suck so bad right now!!!

 

Rant Done... Think Cold... Pray Snow...

It always seems that when it gets cold early you get a nasty January thaw, rather now than in the heart of winter.

[Ride Delaware ?]

I feel like we will get shafted in January either way... But if it is less pronounced, I'll take that I guess...

Quit your bitching. You had your chance to go to Killington, but you had too much "on your plate". Get over it. Turn the page. We've just been lucky to be skiing at JFBB before Thanksgiving the last 3 years. It's not normal.

 

Don't mean to be a dick but you've had chances to ski...it's not the weather's fault...it's yours.

yeah, I know... 17 hours driving for 6 trails, 1 lift, and 15 minute lift lines plus the money just wasn't worth it... I mean, I'm definitely jonesing pretty hard, but I've got to be rational about the trade off... That would have fueled the fire more than wallowing in my misery... 3 more weeks and we will be ok... I'll start Xing off the days on my calendar...

 

And my plate is getting clearer every day... I could go hunting to pass the time and fill the plate back up... But I don't think thats a substitute...

 

Maybe I need a less flexible job with less free time... Then I won't have any time to think about this... Much less bitch and moan about it... And edit my post twice... In 5 minutes...

Sweet blog. I wish i had free time.

[Ride Delaware ?]

If I had something interesting to blog about, I would... Unfortunately I am a much less entertaining person than Doug, so I'm pretty sure that would be a waste of my time and yours lol

[Justo8484]

welcome to riding in PA.

[Ride Delaware ?]

Its better than riding in Delaware... I would be bitching all year... Unless it was a cold year like last year... I would only bitch until the middle of February...

[OutCold]

I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon and say you're a whiner. Can't you find something to do? Get me a job putting some solar panels on some of your company's buildings... that'll keep you busy

[Ride Delaware ?]

Yes, I am whining... And yes, I did find something to keep me busy... Its just incredibly boring... And no, we aren't going green yet... But if we ever plan on it, you'll be the first one I call...

This definitely isn't the place to come for emotional uplifting or building self confidence lol

I'm sure I spend more than my groceries too... However, my travel expenses even for small mountains are way more expensive than most people's... I have a significant lodging and gas bill by the time I'm done lol... I usually don't care what I spend, but I'm hoping to get out more this year than in previous years, so I need to save the money or I'll run out by the time the real season kicks in... Damn, that actually sounds rational and logical...

Do you have a car ? Do you have a sleeping bag ?

 

Then I have a easy way for you to save 1/3 of your budget. Unless your driving a smart car there is plenty of room and it can be pretty comfortable. The best part is you're always right at the hill. I car camped for years and it was a great way to spread money out, now I don't got to VT every weekend and have some more money.

I have respect for anyone who actually sleeps in their car. That is hardcore.

 

For me, however, life is too short to spend it sleeping in a car. And, my side bolsters are too pronounced to allow for any movement while sleeping

Back seat... I have slept in my back seat a few times while being to drunk to drive, it's not that bad.

I have been strongly considering making a plywood cutout for the back of my jeep to make a bed if I want to go solo... I should holla at some people to get some ideas on which places are most receptive to people camping out... I'm sure that a bunch of them don't like people doing it lol

I've never had a problem, if your smart no one will even know you are there.

[Ride Delaware ?]

Don't they check for abandoned cars at night? Or at least I would lol

[Sensi]

been pretty nice up here in VT lately. still havent got a chance to go ski yet though.

[AtomicSkier]

the reason you go to college and get a job is so you don't have to sleep in a car..

[Ride Delaware ?]

Thats true... Or I could move up there next year... New plan 2011-2012... Move to New England...

[moe ghoul]

I'm stoked to use my memory foam pad this season!
