Snow dog

Agree. People 'writing off' winter in mid-December are crazy! The weather is going to do what its going to do, and if you are hoping for wall-to-wall cold weather, you picked the wrong region to live in. I'd love to see snow, but if its not going to, give me mid-60s all day long!

That's good to hear, and again, I am rooting for them! Its easy to criticize from afar, but good grief, they bought the resort over a year ago, and I would have thought that the lifts would have been serviced a long time ago. Anyway, I'm glad that it appears close to opening! ALso glad they are opening the back side of the mountain!

A bit off topic, but somewhat weather related....Does anyone know much about the new management at Wolf Laurel Ski resort (now Hatley Point)? I really want to try them out and hope they succeed, but I'm already seeing things that I dont like. From what i can see online, they have done an excellent job with rennovations to the lodge, and have added what looks like a nice high-end restaurant. However, they still havent opened their slopes! And as i check web cams, I see that they are the ONLY resort that is NOT running their snow guns...WHY? Surely the new management knows that winter in this area is not wall to wall cold, and they MUST take advantage of cold times to build up bases. Anyway, does anyone know when they might open? Before Christmas? I just fear that there isnt much of a philosophy change from the old owners..

Man-sorry you guys have missed the rain. Us update SC folks have been hammered lately. Lake Hartwell currently 2' over full lake level, after being down almost 8' in early December..

Here is a novel idea….if you don’t want to read/hear about, stay off the board. Good grief, the guy is just discussing what he sees, and what the models might be showing. This whole nonsense of ‘rooting for cold weather’ is utterly ridiculous. Guess what, the weather is going to do what it’s going to do, regardless of what we ‘root’ for.

I’m headed to Whistler for some skiing in 2 weeks. It’s been bad there most of the season, until now! At least I’ll see snow this year, just hate I have to go to Canada to see it.

We NEVER do well in upslope events. I've lived in Greenville all my 53 years, and the snow from those type setups always seem to stop at the Cashiers/Highlands area. Moisture cant ever make it over those mountains..

Highlands? That's in NC, although there is the very thin strip of Mts in Greenville, Pickens, and Oconee counties...

Here’s how bad it’s been for the SC folks… https://wyff4.com/article/south-carolina-only-state-no-snow/46860399

We're late in the 4th quarter by then, at least in the upstate of SC...

Just keep it out of the Southeast as long as we can! Its hot enough here now..

Sweet! Ready to get my boat out on the water! Gotta find the good in every season!

Charlotte with the sweet spot lol..

Not for the NE Georgia folks...

Agreed. Thinking back to the pre-Christmas threat, when GFS and others were showing action in the SE, but the Euro never caved, and proved to be right. So thinking/hoping its gonna lead the way this time..
