Re: Weather 2/15
Is it a mirage? is there actually snow in the forecast? I figured it's been so long, it deserves it's own thread.

On and off snow showers for the past few days unfortunately amounted to a dusting or so... Originally Posted by Benski

Honestly, what do we need to do to get it to snow HERE???

My proposed solution considering forecast models are now giving us a the potential for a major event coming up this week:
Especially since:
Begging for it hasn't worked
Snow dancing has been less than effective
optimism has come back to bite us
and the powers that be have clear intention on not giving us what we want this season
I think we should try a good ol' pessimistic reverse psychology. So when snow comes up in conversation this week, just say you've written off this winter and am really looking forward to a warm spring and fishing. Actually, I'm pretty sick of the cold weather.. or something like that. Maybe we'll get "spited"

Shady- Keep the current forecast coming the next few days. I have relatives up this week and hoping the mountain cooperates for them. I heard Friday was a bear of a day!
Right now I am planning on mid week should or could be epic!north lynx 14

Today couldn't have been a nicer day on the hill... temps in the 30s at mid mountain and the sun was out. The snow was soft and a lot of fun and the holiday crowds are behind us... that means very nice midweek ski-right-on-the-lift conditions. Now looking to what's ahead, I've checked Accuweather and they are saying 2-3 feet possible, between Tuesday and the time it wraps up sometime Saturday. However the WIND word is mentioned several times, but temps are forecasted to be in the 30s. So we may be looking at a "wetter" snow, but snow nevertheless. And a plus for me... a wetter snow won't blow into the woods as much (I'm a trail-rider, not so much the woods), and it'll stick to my ramps even better. Of course the downside is that it makes shoveling more difficult. But you never know what will happen. I'm remaining very optimistic that we get "something substantial".
I have sacrificed one thing in the name of snow... my VOICE. Perhaps it was all those times I said "Two and a Single", or all the great people I've talked to in the past week. I hope the next time I talk to many of you, we'll all be enjoying the bounties of a late Feb storm.
Until then, I'll do my best on weather reporting and continue my snow dancing... just no snow singing!

Sorry, Boss, but I am still ignoring the forecast. I will not have my hopes dashed yet again, so turning my back (ok, maybe peeking around my shoulder ever so slightly.....) Originally Posted by win
