The Lake Effect Thread

Just got back from the hill. Still dumping. It's getting really good. A few of the boys were there earlier and got harassed by the local media. There's some footage of the skiing

If you get tired of waiting for snow, you could always head to Boler Mountain, near London, Ontario. The area just got whacked with over 100 cm of snow in the last 48 hours and more is on the way (that's more than three feet if you don't think metric). With only 115 feet of vert, you'd hardly be out of breath skinning to the top.

Oh really, Mr.Multiglisse
Have fun at Jay. If I didn't have to pay car insurance in January, I'd consider skipping work and heading up too.
Hell, maybe I'll still do it.
Then again, I still need bindings for my new skis.

No worries, tBatt. Believe it or not, even though I live in Ontario, it would be about the same driving time to Boler Mtn as it it is to Jay. So, I'm passing on the Boler pow and heading to Jay this Monday. Hopefully there is still some snow.

By the time I got my driveway done at 11 last night I had another couple inches. Was coming done at an inch and a 1/2 an hour

and
Today: Snow showers. High near 21. West wind between 14 and 17 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.

Tonight: Snow showers. Low around 13. West wind between 8 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible.

Thursday: Snow showers likely, mainly before 8am. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 21. West wind between 8 and 11 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.
