Yes! I'm model watching for the first time since last March because I'm genuinely excited to see what happens. Sure, I wish it was going to snow but a big, wrapped up storm still gets me invested. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a yearly tradition to have no early winter skiing anymore. I think Roundtop opened pretty early one of the past few years but quickly had to close right back up until January because they just couldn't sustain a base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting hard to justify buying season passes.. i stopped two years ago. having to thread the needle to get down to Roundtop on days when conditions are half decent gets old.. i'll still get down there at every opportunity, but now I don't feel the pressure to go on crappy nights just to get my moneys worth out of the pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I would not buy a season pass unless I ate there a lot and the discount washed out the loss. I like the 365 days a year place at Liberty. Despite the cold shot that may be coming next week, seems hard to imagine they have a lot of luck opening before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for my involvement, but TCC came in here with good, honest facts directly from the NWS about the accuracy of their ASOS and got met with two nasty responses. I didn’t feel that particular post was any more agenda-driven or irrelevant to this region than Chesco’s daily summaries from southeastern PA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my kids Into skiing last year. They loved it. Went to liberty a couple times. Thinking about planning a weekend trip to wisp in January. Skiing was pretty rough at liberty last year. Hope they have a better season thus year 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WmsptWx Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Here's my thing. Maybe I'm becoming the crotchety "GET OFF MY LAWN" old guy here, or maybe I'm becoming the regionalist, but I don't post in the MA thread, which believe me, I've been tempted to go after some of those babies, and I don't even visit the Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or NE forums because why would I? If YBY doesn't receive EAS alerts from State College, PA, you have about as much business posting to this forum as I have of posting to Penthouse forum.This sub forum, until about two months ago, was a pretty solid community where a core dozen or two of us enjoyed discussing the weather, with other things sprinkled in here and there. And then the douchebags rolled in and lately, I want to poke my eyes with straightened coat hangers every time the weather is slightly above normal. Probably an irrational reception to something I'm looking at on my phone, and I can just as simply put the damned thing down, but why should that have to be the option? I've been a member of this community since the Eastern US WX site, and was on Wunderground before that. I don't feel like I should have to put the phone down just because we don't have a janitor willing to take out the trash. But I feel myself getting more and more wanting to engage in the nonsense. And I promise you idiots, I still have a few flame wars left in me. And I fight fire with nuclear arms.Sent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t feel that particular post was any more agenda-driven or irrelevant to this region than Chesco’s daily summaries from southeastern PA. Tim, I understand. I really do. And I told him as much as well. My "issue" is that some of us in here are weather fans, but the majority are into one thing...snow. The board ebbs and flows with the seasons, and it's the time of the year when snow lovers have returned. So, part of my hang up is the "knowing your audience" thing - a lot of people only are interested in reading/hearing/talking about one thing, and that is how are we going to get snow on our yards. The second, related part of it is - we've talked Steelers, downtown Pittsburgh, snow, soccer, and other things. Depending on the season and other factors, all is okay in my book. However, TCC clearly has a singular agenda. It just so happens that his agenda is counter to what the masses want to hear about. And that dynamic, like it or not, even dare I say fair or not, has caused a lot of tension. I'm really trying not to take sides because a part of me sides with your "team." I balance that with the thought of trying to keep this a fun, comfortable place to hang out and chat. All I can say is this - if I'm told that I'm constantly pissing people off, I'd stop. Right or wrong, I'd stop. And he hasn't, even though he was asked to. That's just my perspective. Again, what I'm really tired with is the constant tension. As Atomix just alluded to, we'd have occasional "spats" (some of which I was a part of) but nothing of this nature. It's concerning. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Working in HR Management, one of the biggest, simplest, and most important life traits that has been lost is that a lot of people no longer care to be invested in talking and acting well around others. I see this play out almost every single day. I'm amazed at how many people today don't care what others think about them. Integrity...once was a backbone of people, has vanished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
