dendrite Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 How could they be reporting snow with mid level temps of nearly 10C? It would have to be -SG under the inversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceanStWx Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It's been snowing near the border in VT. KFSO is ovc now, but -SN obs since 3 PM. Have to watch out for some of those AWOS sites, they love to over-report snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Man stowe may ice up for a fun filled sunday. Pfreak many people stayin in town this weekend or the wx scare them off slopes. (I guess i mean prior bookings on this date) Everyone is staying in town this weekend...places are sold out from this weekend through New Years essentially. See the thing is, rates are so high during these holiday periods, and ALL hotels require pre-paid in full deposits (to make sure they still get the money even if people don't come), so 99% of the people show up even if the weather sucks. If you paid $500 per night for a week here, you are coming whether it is pouring rain or -30F. You've already paid for it (and huge bucks too for this time period), so you've got nothing to lose by coming. If you don't come, your out a couple grand and the hotel will probably fill that room with another party within 15 minutes of you canceling. People just do not back out of reservations during the holiday time period...the hotels pretty much force you to come by charging highly inflated room rates (due to high demand) and then make you pay in full at the time of booking. While this is weather is bad, to be honest, its no worse than -15 to -30F temperatures. The general public would almost rather ski in soft rainy conditions than -20F with -50F wind chills. That gets overlooked a lot on here because we like cold/snow, but deep cold is just as bad for business as rain. As odd as that sounds. The city folk get scared off by below zero temperatures (or at least the ones we see), especially once Wind Chill Advisories are posted and the news folks are all hyping deep cold that'll kill you within minutes, haha. That's just as bad for ski businesses as Flood Watches in a lot of respects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan11 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Lacolle, just over the border along 89 also saying -SN, but I have no idea if that's an awos or what.

Digityman Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 It will be close, but I think they'll probably remain just below criteria. Coastal Cumberland tends to stay really cold just north of Portland. I've seen 8 degree differences in 15 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 seems as if temps are going to be just above the critical freezing range level for most posters in this thread. possible a 1/4 inch of ice or less. I got socked with a 1/4 inch of ice with temps around 24 to 28F 2 weeks ago and it was ugly. Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
