ski MRG Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 how could i convince you to build a YURT out there just outside savoy state park....somewere near 2200' or so. and then there will be 3 out there. i just need a king size bed....restroom....computer....and place to park my car. will commute over an hour for work if need be. what's a reasonable payment LOL, I can draft up a contract for you. I know a good realtor with listings all along the spine so I'm sure we could find a piece of land for you. Power could be a problem as most available parcels won't have power nearby. We could explore windpower. Solar isn't really a viable option as it's cloudy and snowing here much of the time. We could start with a budget of $350,000 - $500,000 for site preparation and take it from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahk_webstah Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I need a KU right now. I hear you bro....after the Eagles lost I was so glad to have a storm to focus on. Shocking loss....had the Pats winning this easily. Turn this next storm into a KU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ski MRG Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 for a yurt? i'll go north in the upslope side of greens FTW.....underhill around 1200' No, the yurt will be extra. Actually, you could do it on a shoestring budget but there are some unavoidable expenses to truly build. Septic, power are at the top of the list. You can't just build a cabin anymore.

cheetah440 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Looks like a good shot at a 4-8" , 6-10" snowfall here with the mid-week system. Then another more important storm may be in the offiing. MPM please take note. From ALY long term disco. Always good to have the King on your side. THE WEATHER FOR FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND BECOMES A BIT MORE COMPLICATED. PREVIOUS RUNS OF THE MODELS HAD SHOWN ANOTHER COASTAL STORM DEVELOPING FOR THE LATE WEEK PERIOD. TODAY/S 12 UTC RUN OF THE GFS AND GGEM HAVE A STORM WELL OFFSHORE FOR FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY...WHILE THE ECMWF HAS A WEAK STORM GOING OFFSHORE FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD...BUT DEVELOPS ANOTHER MUCH MORE IMPRESSIVE STORM FOR SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY...WHICH COMES RIGHT UP THE EASTERN SEABOARD AND SPREADS A DECENT AMOUNT OF QPF TOWARDS OUR AREA. THE 12 UTC GEFS PLUMES HINT THAT A FEW MEMBERS SHOW SOME PRECIP ACROSS OUR AREA AS WELL. WHILE THE DETAILS ARE STILL FAR FROM CERTAIN...MODEL TRENDS THE PAST FEW DAYS HAVE INDICATED AT THE LEAST THE POTENTIAL FOR A STORM TO AFFECT OUR AREA AT SOME POINT FOR THE WEEKEND. FOR NOW...WILL HOLD POPS AT LOW CHC FOR SAT NIGHT INTO SUNDAY AND CONTINUE TO MONITOR. IN ADDITION...THE MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW VERY COLD AIR ACROSS EAST CENTRAL CANADA /850 HPA TEMPS NEARING -30 DEGREES C/ ...AND A PIECE OF THIS AIR COULD BE SENT DOWN INTO OUR AREA FOR LATE IN THE WEEKEND/EARLY NEXT WEEK...ESPECIALLY IN THE WAKE OF A STORM. WILL HOLD TEMPS BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE WEEKEND...WITH GENERALLY TEENS TO LOW 20S FOR HIGHS...AND SINGLE DIGITS AT NIGHT...WITH BELOW ZERO READINGS ACROSS THE HIGH TERRAIN. This is the type of system the Berkshires needs right now. The trails have snow, but too dry and no base. Groomers just can't get this stuff to set up. Even Savoy with 40 inches packs to nothing quickly. A sloppy 3-8 will do wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baroclinic Zone Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sup fellas? Looks like a nasty mess for Wednesday. Haven't looked at too much guidance but it looks like a classic SWFE. Could be some pretty good icing in the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codfishsnowman Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Still have an average of 14 -16 inches on the ground here in east forest park spfd...lost at least 7 inches total depth...still pretty good. my dream is to get a thrity inch depth but i do not think that is really possible in this area, the snowfall depth map that was posted in this thread clearly shows how much of ct really got hammered with the past storm. We did great with at least 18 inches but that map cleraly illustrates how most of northern and central ct was two foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked out in Springfield in the 90's there were three great winters, 96 had snow depth at least 30 inches, the lot next to our office had cars that were buried and I remember walking in snow up to my waist doing inspections.
