This stretch does make me excited to see what a good or even normal winter is like here. I can say I have seen the basement, hopefully. Nowhere to go from here but up.
Yep, I've already given up on getting anywhere near average. Would just like to hit 100" and have a nice stretch where it is solidly cold with a couple solid upslope events. Maybe after this next cutter... LOL
You said it. The total wipeout anomaly from that "event" caused the record to skip and we still haven't gotten back in the groove. Easy to forget it wiped out 3ft+ of fresh pack in spots that are now basically bare or close to it. If that storm hadn't happened, we would be viewing this period as the reload time versus feeling urgency to scrape and claw to save some scrap of winter right now.
Any cold would be nice. Mid-20s and dry for weeks followed by 35 and rain followed by mid-20s and dry is no way to run a winter. That's barely any different than I get in northern MD.
Bring on some -35s to at least shake things up and freeze the lakes/ponds.
Anyway, I will stop complaining. Hopefully this weekend thing is more snow than rain. Ugh...
I am praying that this is just some hedging of bets with all the rain talk. Even a little rain book-ended by some snow is fine. I may lose it if we have another cutter that wipes out the fragile pack. I will yell at a cloud for sure.
Seems like a really tall order under the current weather regime. Need a total pattern flip. My temp has only been single digits a couple times this winter... really abnormal based on the past data I looked at.
We've come to really love Cannon. The self-contained Tuckerbrook area is so good for the small kids. They can loop over and over on those blues and always get back to the same lift to meet up.
Yes, I was and continue to be swarmed. Masons, excavators, carpenters... sometimes electricians. Plumbers are impossible to find. There appears to only be one plumber in Coos County and he is retired.
A lot of the bread ‘n butter guys are barely keeping it together. Trying to cope with beauty shots of the same rotten old man-made snow on the mountains every day. LOL
