The Official 17-18 "Bitch about the Weather" thread

Well if this holds for Squaw Valley, it's really going to depend on how quickly the freezing level drops...

 

[John Webb]

@dbostedo Tahoe, I presume.

 

[dbostedo]

Oh... yeah... added that. Specifically, Squaw...

We are headed to Utah, so when we come back, we expect snow

Showing snow for DV, had some yesterday, and more on the way.

All the while I head to the Southern Hemisphere today

How bad you guys think Vermont will be this weekend? Looks like a lot of warm rain on Friday. Had plans to hit Killington this weekend but I think it may be an ice rink.

 

[Dwight]

41 and rain on Thursday, then below 0.

Based on the forecast....they're expecting over a foot of new snow after the rain and freeze...I suspect it'll be epic...although it could be a skating rink once it gets plowed of..it if gets plowed off...

I very much like your forecast Scott and will be holding you accountable if it falls short

Opensnow is predicting 2-5" of wintery mix on Saturday for Killington after rain on Thursday and Friday, along with 40-50mph winds on Saturday. Things aren't looking great. I've sat out the last couple of weekends, and was hoping this would be the weekend to get back into the swing of things now that the arctic air is gone. Looks like things swung too far in the other direction

 

[Spelunker]

That Arctic air sounds really good right about now!

Killington was revised down to 0-1" of snow on Saturday after heavy rains. Jay Peak might be a better bet, they are getting less rain and a little more snow.

 

[Jilly]

2 days of rain, expected. Then maybe up to a foot snow on Saturday. Then back down to freezer on Sunday night.

@scott43 said....skating rink under the snow.

 

[Joel]

We are supposed to be getting a couple inches a day and evening for the next couple/few days. Don't know that it will help much. Maybe I'll drag my rock skis out and just go so I can say I got my first day in.

This is my starting point, don't expect it will look much better in a few days.

Absolutely... typical January thaw..and freeze...

See that's going to be a disaster then...

Going to Killington next Friday 19th (through the weekend and Monday). What do you guys think of the condition by then? Is it still going to be ice rink? Thanks.

We were having such a good season... and now it's going to be 59 degrees and rainy tomorrow!

That’s always how it is in the Midwest. Jan. 1 was minus 18 — yesterday it was 50 degrees. Now it is in the teens again.

Well why didn't you stop the 50 degree weather there before it got to me!!!
