Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[sibhusky]

All I know is the mountain is supposed to get another one to two feet by Sunday. Woohoo!!!

[Ride Delaware ?]

My utilities are more than some peoples mortgages. I'm staring down the hallway at lights on in every room. Some months the air conditioning is on upstairs and the heat is on downstairs.

Living with multiple women...

This is how you keep your customers updated. JFBB should take queues from MRG's front page...

 

While the latest forecasts are a bit sketchy to say the least it would appear that we might be seeing a glimmer of light at the end of our proverbial weather tunnel. It seems as though that this tunnel has been about as long as Andy Dufresne's tunnel to freedom in the Shawshank Redemeption. You know that one that he "crawled through a river of $h!* and came out clean on the other side". Hopefully we will emerge from this latest stretch of weather smelling like a rose too. The latest weather forecasts from the Single Chair Weather Blog isn't pretty in the short term but he says; "In spite of what will happen over the next 4-5 days I like how the back end of January looks." Lets really hope that Josh Fox is right this time so we can enjoy the balance of the winter as much as Andy and Red enjoyed their lives in Zihuatanejo. We certainly hope to re-open the main mountain just as soon as we possibly can. We know the current state of affairs is a bummer but please don't lose heart MRG skiers. Rest assured it will snow again, we will have powder days and we'll all be ripping up our legendary terrain soon enough. Thanks for your patience and, now more than ever,

[Shadows]

[Kyle]

Park stuff should be fine and snowmaking trails. Just not gonna be much natural snow and definitely no trees.

I'm not riding tomorrow anyway just don't want to deal with all the bullshit on the drive up

Check highways, 87, 4, and whatever road that is through Whitehall should be fine. Parts of 100 will be shit and 107 maybe blown out.

Whitehall/Fort Ann is 149. I will be driving that and up 100 come Monday AM. I'll let you know how the section is from K-Mart to the Bush.

Tomorrow's plans consist of driving and long trail so the traffic worry is kind of out of the way at this point.

Thanks man. They're supposed to get snow showers today so hopefully that freshens things up a bit. And I'm working on getting out west, I have a buddy that works at the canyons so I might be heading out that way over spring break.

Pretty far our but the wife just messaged me that there is a chance for a large storm the 8-10th. Any of our resident weather buffs seeing anything about this?

That one shows up on the Euro as an Apps runner, most of the snow would be south of pa. Maybe 4-8" but that is so far out it's 90% fantasy. It could end up being nothing or a 12footer and everything in between.

 

Feb 4-6 there is 1.17" of water on the models......looks like warming issues, though models say 50's along the coast which is the kind of setup where central/northern PA get big snows.

 

Both of these are way to far out to say much of anything and with the NAO going positive the odds are not great. NWS is getting on board with a 4-6th storm, so far this week it's gone from a 10% to a 50% probability which is looking good.

 

EDIT: Lately PA north of Philly has been in the snow dome, you take a unicorn and a panda and make them fuck, you shave the resulting creature and get the yeti, jersey devil and bigfoot to knit you a literal dome. It is the rarest strongest material on earth apparently because for the last two years we can't really get any storms to break it.

Nice. I'll be in vt/Maine the 6-9th so I'm hoping for a big dump for the northeast.

There's some hope for things to start turning around the 4th, still too many "ifs" but that's better than nothing or warmup up with rains.

[moe ghoul]

Atlanta shut down for days over 2 inches of snow. people are acting like its the apocolypse (sp). sleeping in CVS and Carl's Jr.

Yeah, they have little ability or skillz to handle this. Solid entertainment to watch it on the news.

[indiggio]

What's worse is when we get a lousy 2" here and people drive like 10 MPH with their hazard lights on!!

 

At least those down in Atlanta have an excuse.

[Johnny Law]

Feb 4-6th ain't looking like it's going to work.

 

Euro blew up this morning on Feb 8-10th, showing 20-30" of snow.....WOW....still really far out.

What's the consensus on the 4th-6th? What changed?

Too warm for large sections of PA, maybe from Scranton north they will see all snow...maybe.....looks more like north of Albany will hold on snow and we will get some rain. I'm honestly hoping it comes in way too far east and misses us completely.

 

The Feb 8-10 possibility is really interesting.......

[Barb]

Winter Park got 2 feet in 2 days, going up after school lets out!

I'm heading to VT on Tuesday, storm track going into wednesday looks promising so far. 8-16" is sounding pretty tasty if it pans out. 3-4 inches in the past 24 hours at Smuggs and it its snowing there right now.
