ctsnowstorm628 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Yeah... the warmth though completely depends on dew points for snow melt. If its 50/17 then surprisingly little damage gets done. If its 50/40 then you are hemorrhaging snow. I haven't looked too closely but nights look relatively chilly for how warm the days get, so it should be a somewhat dry heat. If the afternoons are seeing 30% RH (or even less in the mountain valleys), then the snow will stick around for a bit... especially if nights are getting well down below freezing. True. BTW- still mod. snow. 2.6" lol I don't really care about snow pack at this point. It looks nice for a few days but I'm fine with it getting warm. Yeah I'm ready for spring myself.

Just hoping for March 93You will be sunburned to a crisp at SR $423 for 5 days ski and stay, staying an extra day to catch the Dumont Cup finals on Sat, no skiing. Probably will do Wildcat, Cannon too as higher els do better in torch. Hopefully by the 18 th we get colder. SR making snow this week in preparation, there will be plenty left.

Ginx snewx Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 We were there when they built the quarter pipe for the record, you can not believe how high that was. We saw the Cup last year.

Oh dude there'll be plenty of snow left... no worries on the mountains at least until early April. Sure if it torches for over 2 weeks straight maybe some bare spots on south facing spots, but man-made snow lasts forever. I bet that's not even a concern at this point at most ski resorts north of Rutland-Conway line. Even the natural snow trails have like a four foot snowpack. 80" settled depth at 3,700ft here. The pattern looks dry though and that's good because warm temps melt snow, but rain and high humidity really melts snow. Rain opens it up and percolates through causing more melting. I still think if its just warm temperatures, the whole "New England will be completely snow-free in 10-14 days" tune of some posters is going to be a bit of a stretch. The ME and NH crowd will especially be able to hang on for quite some time as they climatologically do in the spring time. Plus, I do think we've got at least one more solid event coming. Might be in April though, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Rain Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 I know, it's funny to read. Well it definitely doesn't look like an epic March. Sometimes NNE can rock in March while SNE melts but not this year. Looks torch-like which means a meltdown. Certainly won't be adding real snow to the pack any time soon.

Yep it gets warm but I have been there with 60 and heavy rain and the next day it was superb. My glade days are over so not even close to being worried.

Logan11 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Doesn't really matter as long as it gets cold and snows again the last week of March and/or April. Except maybe to the fruit farmers that could lose their crop if the blossoms come out.....only to be nailed when things flip to cold again. Dear Lord..I just saw the Euro ens mean days 11-15..

Mr Torchey Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 As I expected OKX has now bumped up temps to 55 for wed here, even today, it was in the low 40s but the sun is so much stronger, it just feels awesome and a sense of renewal is upon us.

Logan11 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 You probably remember May 9, 1977 70F the day before then 5.5" of snow and more in some places. Snow day in May for me in sixth grade. 18ZGFS has that anafrontal snow now that the Euro had yesterday. Yep it gets warm but I have been there with 60 and heavy rain and the next day it was superb.

It doesn't look like an epic March for the ski areas that's all I was saying. May be painful toward the end of the month but things will be fine next 2 weeks with a gradual meltdown. That said there are some areas that are still struggling with mediocre depths. Jay, Stowe, etc are fine... but Killington on south doesn't have much to spare.

weathafella Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 March is a weird month. Sometimes the torches become truncated and all of a sudden there a threat. At this point, I want wall to wall warmth. I'm tired of this miserable winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 What I got most out of this thread is the newfound respect for skiMrg. I love the lifestyle and the story of the teachings at the Waldorf school parlaying into a great living is fabulous. Pete.....come to the next gtg as I want to have some time to talk. OT but I had long hair and a ponytail for a while in the late 1990s. High profile job now and judgement suggests to me to forget that idea for now... Thanks Jerry, that means a lot coming from such an esteemed member of the SNE gang. I look forward to the next gtg and that chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
