But the real question remains: Will there be another warm up in a week?

You can steal their girlfriends (except 'Dude's), dent their cars (except Jeff's), call their mommas fat (except MC's), but they sure are touchy if they think you're mocking their snowmaking efforts.

I work there. Plus check out the accuweather 15 day forecast for Tannersville.

They probably wont be making during the day but night time snowmaking should start real soon.

Alot of people on here work at Camelback, so that's irrelevant

 

 

BTW, Weather.com says something completely different in terms of temperatures

[AtomicSkier]

Wiw Camelback should open before Blue is year...especially because it's colder, higher, and farther north..

 

If only they had the snowmaking power of Blue, and the vertical and the 6pack, and the steezy new remodeled bathrooms...

Don't even start this here...you blue slut

Whoring in my forum is gonna get your ass called out

It's rellevant to the question that was asked. I talk to snow makers everyday at work and the projected night time start date is monday weather permitting of course. Rest assure if the temperature permits it will happen.

 

As far as weather.com vs accuweather.... I don't know what to think i hope accuweather is more accurate in this situation. Either way weather.com shows lows of 31 everday except fri-sun it jumps to 37 and drops back to 31 monday in their 10 day forecast. 31 degrees at night add a little elevation and windchill and hopfully it will be cold enough to keep making.

 

Anyways this thread was intended to share some information and keep our spirits up that the season in NEPA will start soon at Camelback.

Not to burst your bubble, cause I want to ski soon in PA as well, but 31 with some elevation with our average humidity isnt cold enough to blow snow. And "windchill" is irrelevant in snowmaking. Snowmaking only depends on 1 variable, wet bulb. 31 degrees is the dry bulb temp, not taking into account humidity. With our humidity around here, you have to be around 28 to get snowmaking started. Anything higher requires pretty low humidity, much lower then we usually see around here in the winter time in 30 degree temperatures.

 

I hope the snowmakers you're talking to know all this, or else they'll be some nice mudslides come monday night at CB

 

Here's a good link to look at....

Yes the snowmakers know of the wet bulb thing although I personally am not to knowledgeable about it. Thanks for the link. We'll all I can say is lets hope that the forecast is incorrect like it often is but this time for our benefit.

 

*****Oh man comparing that wet bulb chart to weather.com's forecast puts us just on the brink of fair snowmaking conditions everyday with the exception of fri-sun with the max humidity being forecasted at max 71% and lower all the other days. The border line between fair snowmaking and no snowmaking is sooo close!! We'll just have to see what happens. If accuweather forecast stands more true to weather.com I think our chances are still good.

Use this forecast for overnight lows.

That forecast its almost like accuweathers they both rock weather.com's so thats 2 to 1! BRING ON THE COLD NIGHTS!

[bigdaddyk]

 

 

Blue December 1st, BB December 2nd, JF December 9th...

 

 

 

At leat flip flop BB and JF. JF usually opens before BB.

Looking at the weather, alot of resorts may be cranking up the guns. Blue even has atleast 1 night to do so.

[Margaritaville Skier]

Big weather story down here is an offshore low developing Monday or Tuesday bringing us high winds and rain before it moves up the coast. Could be a N'oreaster heading your way.
