Ride Delaware ? Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Started watching this one as soon as the last one left... In typical fashion, this storm will have a midwest storm and a southeast storm associated with it... Unfortunately, the Southeast storm will not mix with this storm until it reaches the coast of Maine, so this storm will mostly rely on the moisture it is bringing with it across the nation's heartland... Luckily for us (or you), it has more moisture than the last couple storms did (which did meet up with the Southeast Storm), and it should yield a decent amount of snow... As Moe stated in another thread, it looks to be 3-6 inches now, but if more moisture creeps in, it could be a little more... With temps in the low 20's, this should be an all snow event, even for you goobers down there at "Blue the True." Since I will be at K-Mart (again ) next week, and also have a late family X-Mas in Jersey this weekend (sickness related), I expect some of you to get out there and get the pow for me... With my luck I'll get some good groomers at the K, but probably no fresh pow... Happy Hunting PA!!! Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 I'm looking west towards Blue Knob, may head out tomorrow afternoon and crash in the Pilot Moetel. For tomorrow nite: Snow likely. Low 17F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 90%. Significant snow accumulation possible. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) ton of trails are still closed at the knob. not good. Not sure if that's just for today and they reopen by Friday? Edited January 19, 2011 by moeghoul Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 ton of trails are still closed at the knob. not good. Not sure if that's just for today and they reopen by Friday? Just goto Blue Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 Due to wife's diagnosis/prognosis, I'm restricting distance/time away until confidence levels rise that she can handle things solo while I'm away. Even Europe is a 50/50 right now. Seems like Murphy's Law applies. Seriously bummin out here. Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 19, 2011 Report Posted January 19, 2011 I'm guessing Blue Knob barely haz any natural snow on the ground as central PA haz missed alot of the recent storms. Anybody know what % of runs the knob blows on. I'd definitely like to shred the knob sometime no homo. probably 70%, the runs that are currently closed are the glades and the steep shit off the traverse. None of which I think they blow on....extrovert has guns I think but I can't think of a time they have actually blown there. The east traverse glades are boney as all hell so I can't see how 6" is going to make that difference but who knows. Quote
n0xidee Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Skied the knob a bunch while I was at IUP for a year. Glades never opened once and I thought it was a decent year for snowfall They do blow on Extrovert but not nearly as much as they should. Was always an icy death for me. With some natural snow though they have some nice runs. Slow lifts but still a fun hill and even when we got 10 inches of fresh stuff, still never any crowds. No major roads go into it so no one ever goes. Everyone out there loves Seven Springs. Unless you ride park, I never understood it. Long drive from the eastern side and I would say it isn't worth it unless they get hammered. Quote
Johnny Law Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 two events in the mix for next week, Tuesday and maybe a bomb in the fri to sat time frame. Quote
moe ghoul Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Weather alerts popping up for NEPA. Still calling for 7.6 to 12.7......................cm. Quote
Kyle Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 3-5 inches is kind of weak but I could go for 14cms and a liter a Cola hey farva, whats that resturaunt you like again with all the goofy shit on the walls? 1 Quote
OutCold Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Unfortunately I won't be able to make it up to the pokes until Saturday.....hopefully there'll be a little bit of leftovers for me Quote
OutCold Posted January 20, 2011 Report Posted January 20, 2011 Shennanigans is a good spot...near JF/BB Outcold there won't be leftovers at 930AM believe dat. Yeah I wasn't really expecting anything.... I'm holding out for the 'dacks next weekend. Quote
Kyle Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I've got about 6 inches of nothing here Quote
bluemt1988 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 I wish we could upload mobile pics from a smart phone onto the forum! Back yard observations right Grilledsteezesandwhich?? Haha. Just got to the gym and it started dumping here by the walmart in Allentown! Stoked! Quote
Ride Delaware ? Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 We are just supposed to get a dusting here in Delaware... I can complain all I want, but it looks like a substantial storm could be developing at the beginning of next week, and I will be keeping an eye on it... It could go straight out to sea, or it could potentially be a blizzard... It may be K-Mart, but I'll take pow anywhere... Wouldn't mind me some powder... I guess I'll start a thread for that storm as soon as this one passes!!! Quote
JFskiDan Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 next week right now looks big - but there may be some temperature issues.....4 or so days away. Quote
PASKIINGSUCKS Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 total on the truck this morning seemed to be about 5 inches or so of light fluff. I get a ton of weird drifting in the yard though, I could probably find a spot or two where it's 12 haha. Right down the street from bear creek. Quote
toast21602 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 What was it like when you left? Quote
AtomicSkier Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 What was it like when you left? Mostly brutally groomed...I left around 9:30am, and I already heard scraping. Quote
