Look what was out my window this fine morning! Nothing like Buffalo, which got two feet, but then again, it's flat as a pancake there.

Sorry about the double post. Something funky happened. Maybe it was the excitement of seeing snow!

Yep.
It sure looked nice from East Warren this morning at 6:45.
Too bad the camera batteries were dead.

Ha ha! Mine weren't! :lol:

Thanx for the warning, John! This is what I get at South... And the ground at the bottom was already hard!

that shot of mt ellen is gorgeous. may i suggest moving the chamber of commerce camera to that location, pronto? its seems neutral enough to me since most of the chamber member's are located somewhere, just out of view of the shot. thats more than what you can say about the current location.

if my whining does work, i'll be forced to sponsor a cam from lostone's house. :roll:

I thought I saw some white up on Camel's Hump on the way to school tomorrow but wrote it off just to be some strangely-whitish frost...

WOO!!!!

WE'RE ALMOST THERE FOLKS! 35 DAYS TILL NORTH IS OPEN!

EDIT: SRO, do you have that pic in full-res? Definitely want it as the wallpaper but it gets stretched at that resolution on my widescreen laptop...

But... I live in a condo, and they won't let me put up a camera. :cry:


It would be ok, if they did, tho. This shot is off my deck:

there it is, the challenge is on. all susan needs is a view, power and a dsl connection to move that chamber web cam. so who can step up to the plate? :D

lostone, that view from your deck is pretty darn good. i think you need to talk to your condo board. perhaps this camera of susan's is small. perhaps we could hide that camera in a hollowed out pumpkin. :lol:

Just to clarify- the cam is not a fancy one. The shot you saw last year of Lincoln Peak was from a private property on the Access Rd- and the mtn looked quite far away- better shot of moving clouds than anything. The Mt Ellen shot is westerly, meaning that as the afternoon wears on, the sun is apt to make a bright white line across the screen as we stare into the setting sun's rays. I don't think the cam would do the view justice. Maybe we should let s_r_o and lostone feed us with nice pics and you use the cam to look at road conditions and snowbank height, and live falling snow.... and what color shoes I am wearing to work.

But I am game to entertain other options. I just have to work with Vickeryhill.com, the cam owner.

New snow on the hill from last night, it might be still snowing. I am heading out the door to cruise to NH so I am depending on Lostone to post some pics! :D

Well... there might be a little new snow, (I actually saw some coming down, just before dark.) but there is less than the other day, as we lost a little, yesterday.

Still, if there is anything worthwhile, when I get out, you know I'll snap it. :roll: :wink:

Here is a larger version of the Mt Ellen/Bragg Hill barn shot. It very compressed so I hope it looks OK. I tried uploading a Tiff and a Gif version, not so compressed better quality but I guess the file was too big to work. I can always email you a uncompressed higher quality version.

Not to bug you relentlessly, but the new one appears to be considerably smaller than the first post... first was 1024x612, new one is 800x529... or maybe I'm just missing something...

Everytime I try to upload a large file, about 3000x2000, the AZ Gallery resizes it to the smaller size. I tried to upload a GIF file, info says it accepts this format, it comes back with an error statement.

Strat, you can PM me with your email and I can email you, or anyone else, a larger file.

Great work! Great timing.

A prediction: I suspect after hearing the weather for next week that some resort will try to open something by Thursday. My bet is not Kmart. (even though in past years it would most definetly been them.) Who will it be?

Well, Cannon sure made out well with the publicity of the early opening, last year. They opened for the October blast and had someone on the Zone board to answer questions.

Can't see anyone local doing it. Wonder if Jay is being dumped?

Yup, the hills got some new snow the other night. I was wondering if I would have to deal with it as I was headed over the gap yesterday morning but the road was fine with a couple of inches on the ground. Might get some more tonight so I will probably take some pics tomorrow.

Went up to mu usual perch this morning to see that the ski area's do not have alot of snow at the moment. Possibly skiable on the summit of Mt Ellen. The slightly warmer, wet weather has taken it's toll. The real goods will be here soon enough.

Of course, in the unlikely event of something going wrong and the opening being delayed, or even advanced, you'd catch it from the "fans"... as well as everyone else. :roll: :wink:
