weatherbo Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 600 mph at 30,000' on the way to Big Sky yup. How often are you able to go west? I agree there's nothing quite as spectacular as the mountains. Hop in that civic of yours and explore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still stand by cold and dry being better than 34F and wet for being outdoors for any purpose in winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hop in that civic of yours and explore! these days, only one trip a winter. Still figuring it out this year but leaning towards the northern rockies in late march but watching the conditions. Was really was hoping to do the sierras or whistler but nino really isn't delivering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokolow Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 "no mountains or decent climbing within a reasonable drive" is the one thing that drags down the Midbest for me and if I could I'd set up shop in CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Idyllic. Excitement. Minnesota. I still stand by cold and dry being better than 34F and wet for being outdoors for any purpose in winter. Here is my favorite temp range, by month. December 20-29F January 20-29F February 20-25F March 1-15th 20-25F March 15-30th 55-75F Anything between 32-50 is garbage during winter. The sun angle requires a lower temp later in winter, in order to keep the snow powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar Vortex 2014 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The cold is really starting to get to me and to be honest I'd take that 30 day stretch right now starting today please. Where do I sign up? I don't think that thirty day stretch is possible in Buffalo. That would shatter the hottest month on record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 March 15-30th do you move to Tennessee or what? I don't know. I'd probably dig having the trails in good shape till March 31st in all honesty. We can hang around 25-30F from March 15th through April 1st.

Hoosier Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I don't think that thirty day stretch is possible in Buffalo. That would shatter the hottest month on record. You're probably right...Buffalo has never officially hit 100F...ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can hang around 25-30F from March 15th through April 1st. As much as I love snow, I'm ready to let it go by mid March. Once the sun angle starts competing, snow isn't as much fun for me. Exactly why I like front loaded winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Never been past Colorado, Wyoming, and Montanan so not much to compare them too but I'd settle there. If you want a great early summer trip, fly into Calgary, rent a car, head west to Banff and then as far north as you please up the Icefields Parkway. It's incredible.

Talking with my parents out in Oregon alot of the ski resorts are shutdown or very limited. Hardly any snow in the mountains this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a good buddy working a resort up in the Canadian Rockies and i guess they're having a great winter but yeah, CA is brutal. Especially since i had images of buried ski lifts in my mind with all the Nino talk late last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sokolow Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 you read about mount shasta ski park closing due to lack of snow?Get rad. I did but only by way of keeping one eye on how much of CA is gonna burn this summer, or well, "right now". Wheeler Crest between Bishop and Mammoth went up a week or so back and the photies were impressive. Looked even more like f'ing Mordor than is usual.

Powerball Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 keep up the good fight mall-copping the banter and complaint thread Some of the same folks who are off-topic would be up in arms if someone dared made a post or two about summer time weather/sports in any other winter weather thread. Yet, when they do it with winter sports, there shouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
