Is it snowing/raining at the mountain this night? weather.com shows nothing at all, so I was kinda optimistic for tomorrow morning...

Correct, weather.com shows nothing but yet theres a winter storm advisory for freezing rain until 10 am.... hopefully when we wake up itll be doing nothing out and we'll make it to the True Mountain safe and sound

I love that of all wknds I can't ski, it's this one. 

Migh show up later tomorrow. Who knows. BAC is up up and away. 

Ayyyyy

Roads dry as a bone down in H-town and radar looks empty as of 4:45am

Freezing fog / drizzle here. The driveway and deck are slick AF. I imagine previously treated surfaces are fine though for those going out this morning. 

[eaf]

Yep, no issues on treated roads but couldn’t make a step on my own driveway. And it’s fooooooggy at Blue.

Not that foggy. I can see the summit.. and yeah driving here was a non event and theres no freezing rain whatsoever

[eaf]

Not too bad actually. Most of the fog was around the top where I started.

I do stick to the chairs. Gotta be careful when disembarking 😂

We had three small snowfalls in the days following our big snowstorm but yeah gonna be everything but the kitchen sink and I see 40s a few days for high temperatures in Allentown with teens and low 20s a few nights so bad bye to the Rocky Mountain snow conditions but it was a nice stretch.

Who thinks that for this showy and coldish winter we should be thankful to Covid?

Yeah, it sucks big time when it happens. Ive taken my goggles off but the wind/perder flakes irritate my eyes.

Enjoralas has Dakine gloves with built in squeegee and felt for wiping goggles. I need a pair asap.

I thought, GSS was joking about heated goggles, but nope, they do exist. Go figure. And not that expensive.

I don’t think pandemics affect the weather.

NMSki has them.

So this little diddy that is moving through this evening and overnight looks to be mostly a misery maker more than anything else. Lots of freezing rain is anticipated, but luckily there will be a bit of a warm up tomorrow to hopefully melt some of it off of trees and roadways. 

What I'm interested in is this next system that is coming through on Thursday. Looks to be trending cooler to start so it could be producing more snow than expected. Since I work Thursday morning, it will likely be a nice little whopper.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

On the bright side the freezing rain could strengthen the snowpack as a base for future snowstorms. At this point I don’t think I’m skiing until Wednesday AM

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

 

Thats a solid amount of snow Thursday woo woo woo

[Benm]

ice storm warning for my county issued at 6:30 am

looking forward to some ol' tyme living most likely... 

likelihood of skiing tomorrow is quickly approaching zero.
