Johnny Law Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 Go Here - http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/teleconnections.shtml Now click on ensemble mean outlooks for AO and NAO, then rejoice!!! By the middle of this month the cold air will be here for real and we will finally will have a decent chance for some real snow. 1 Quote
Justo8484 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Posted January 5, 2012 it's about time, but realistically, how long is it going to take to turn things around out west and make stuff skiable/safe? utah is pretty obviously gonna slide like crazy as soon as they get any decent snow, and tahoe still doesn't even have a base down.

Ride Delaware ?

I know bunches of PASRs take trips out west, but I'll be just as happy when natural starts falling here in the NE... This is excellent news!!! Quote

This really only applies for the EC, western weather is far more dependent on the PNA and jet stream stuff. I don't know enough about that to speak with any intelligence, though I can tell you the Cali, UT and CO resorts have already cut way back. Staff has been cut, lodges and lifts closed and this isn't something you could reverse in a week. What that tells me is they are for some reason convinced this winter isn't going to take off, I don't know how anyone knows that but I got a couple of friends who have just lost there jobs and the CEO of Mammoth was just talking about this too. Taos is having a rocking season, Whistler is doing well and Jackson ain't half bad. Baker either gets 10" of snow or 2" of rain every night so that may work.......With two weeks of the right weather everywhere could be shangri la but the chance of that is pretty small. Quote
sibhusky Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 Lower mountain today... The back side and upper mountain have plenty of snow, but temps have been so marginal that altitude has become a huge factor. Quote
sibhusky Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 is that concrete underneath? That's the edge of a bridge and it appeared to be wood, but I don't know for sure. Quote
Kyle Posted January 6, 2012 Report Posted January 6, 2012 i was just wondering. it looks like concrete. regardless, you shouldnt be able to see it in january. especially out there. Quote
