method9455 Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 I looked at a few forecasts for the area today. Snowmaking looks possible sunday monday and tuesday nights this week, but very marginal and for a very short amount of time. It will warm up wednesday and thursday to about 50. Thanksgiving weekend looks like some snowmaking hours for sure. Not 24/7 but at least a few hours at night. Unforately blue looks like it has warmer weather coming than MC and JFBB for the next week, so not sure if they will make the first week in december. How many hours does Blue need to get the first few trails open? Mountain Creek has their tentative date set for Dec 9th but I hope Blue and the rest of the poconos beats that because they usually do.

Takes them about 4 days to get a REALLY (several feet) solid base on mainstreet, but I'm talking near 24/7 snowmaking temps. If they started on a Sunday night and it dropped down to 25 each night, they would be open on Friday I'd say. But remember, blue mtn can't just open one trail like Belleayre does. They've got open both those greens, midway, and all of mainstreet which takes alot of snow, and tuts lane...but it won't be much longer. Quote
NiftySHIFTY Posted November 15, 2006 Report Posted November 15, 2006 Lets just hope that changes. If you were to print a copy of that forecast and check off ever day that they predicted right, after the 15 days is up you would probably have less than 10 check marks. So hopefully the highs are barely 40 and the lows get around 20. Quote
method9455 Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Posted November 15, 2006 where do you get longer than 14 days? now that herb stevens is gone I don't know where the long range stuff is. Quote
jordan Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 where do you get longer than 14 days? now that herb stevens is gone I don't know where the long range stuff is. the GFS goes out to 16 days, but really any model predictions out more than 4 days or so generally don't verify for anything more than a very general pattern.

Dan- Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 where do you get longer than 14 days? now that herb stevens is gone I don't know where the long range stuff is. I wouldn't really look at long range.. They don't say anything, there are too many variables to predict weather accuratly that far away. If anything i'd look at the yearly averages if you can find them. Quote

It's simply too early to fire up the guns in PA, as the possibility for it to warm up is very high Quote
