OSUmetstud Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 it's been holding at 58 degrees for the last couple hours due to the cloud cover. I'm concerned that the clearing ahead of the cold front will cause temps to rise again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danstorm Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Then you don't care about winter and the calander says its still winter here, Because unlike NYC we have much better retention for one and with our lat we will still have a snowpack come april, Its also for recreational purposes up here It's nothing personal... I understand the recreational opportunities that snowpack enables as well as the economic implications up there. But how nice can it be to x-country ski/snowmobile on a snow-cone? And yes, I love winter as much as anyone here... I just don't find melting snowpack, especially one that is old and crusty, to be a tragedy. Fresh, deep snow is magical but 60 and sunshine feels pretty nice, too. Good luck with the rest of the winter up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with the rest of the winter up there. Thanks, Not taken personal, I just don't care to have May temps in Feb as well as rainy weekends in the summer thats all, Its not great having a snowcone, But we can't do anything about it, The one good factor is that it sets up to make a great base so when we get pedestrian events we are back in business, If we would receive 3-4" with no base you are not going to Ski, Snowmobile or anything else for that matter so we don't quite look at it as some do to have to have a currier & ives scene after a snowstorm, Enjoy your winter as well, You guys have done well the last couple of years down there.

weatherMA Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Just a few hours left of the torch. 58.5F, warmer then yesterday by a degree. 15" snow pack on average, only bare spots are around the trunks of trees but most exposed areas still have about 6-10" and protected areas have anywhere from 12-20".
