WinterWxLuvr Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I doubt seriously that liability is different in 2019 than it was 25 years ago. Backbones are another issue entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nw baltimore wx Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 PWCS get the mandated 180 days of school in every year and probably create their yearly calendar knowing that rural roads will make for a lot of snow days. They start relatively early, well before Labor Day, and have a short spring break. I don’t care when they close for snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backbones are another issue entirely. My wife works for PWCS administration. It’s part the increased premiums for general liability for the school system and part fear of the people running the show to make the wrong decision. They budgeted 13 days this year to the mandated 180. They are use or lose. Now using them this early in the season is folly but whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 It was so nice to see friends and family on my short trip home with my wife. We had a great time. Hopefully a little snow in the morning before we leave later in the afternoon. Feels good to be back east . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldie 22 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Once you figure out that many of the long range guys on here are only big game hunting and days like today or a 2-4" means very little to them it's easier to digest their analysis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually lots of busts and roller coasters in the rockies. Many warning events that I woke up to partly cloudy and 1-2". Took a couple years before figuring out the right setups for the area I lived in. The biggest storm cycles were jet/orographic driven and not synoptic. Those big 4 corners lows that pummel the front range usually suck west of the divide. What's happening now with moist pac jet on W-NW flow is prime for the northern half of the state. Breckenridge has had almost 3 feet in the last 48 hrs. That's a very big storm and not very common. I am here now BC! It is pretty awesome. Drove up from Denver (enough snow on the ground to call it white) and started the climb up yesterday on 70. Got stopped just before the Bakerfield exit for 'snow mitigation', firing the avalanche cannons. Currently it is 4 degrees with a solid 2 feet on the ground here in Dillon with the son, who said the past 3 days were 'epic' in his words. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resorts are killing it early season. Always nice to see even when my yard is mud and slush. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he is listening to Seger, Petty, 38 Special and such, so I think I did OK. Headed out, he is headed for Arap to see if he can get on the east wall after dropping me off at Peru Creek trailhead off Montezuma Rd, gonna go up the backside up towards Chihauhau trail to do some 'shoeing.

Laters all! Chihauhau! Been all over above Montezuma area. Cadillac chute is one of the biggest descents in Summit Co. All day affair tho... Easy access via snowshoes or trekking gear on an old mining road. Nothing dangerous on the way up. Just stay out of the steep areas. Peru creek is extremely peaceful without leg/heart killing inclines. Have a blast dude. Brings back memories. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even mood flakes put me in a good mood. So though I might not post much on something that is smaller and nearer in time doesn't mean I am not interested. It just means that I don't feel the need to post something that has already been said a dozen, 2 dozen times and/or I have nothing to add to the conversation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
