I think I picked a good time of year to remodel my kitchen.

3rd week in Jan will for sure will be one of the snowiest ever --- I too am going to Florida

FKNA!    Camp, you and Jason are martyrs... Your willingness to throw yourselves onto the grenade for the team is truly an act of selflessness and courage.

It might be working..
There is a glimmer of HOPE...For 2 runs in a row...The tea leaves are showing a cold and snowy few days...Like earlier mentioned,On or around the 18th or so a low will move up the coast. This is in the 288/300 hr period...ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN this far out..But there is HOPE...

Peace and Love

U guys are welcome

I'm actually looking forward to it as this will make only my second time to FL.

False Hope..
There will be a brief return to normal temps on or about 18/19th. Then we warm back up...As of now meaningful cold will not return until 26 ish..Maybe...

peace and love

No snowmaking temps for Hunter all next week.

Not sure about anyone else but I am expecting The Snoloco Report to be posted on 12/26, grading all the major northeastern resorts on their Christmas terrain performance.  Will there be a curve?

He will be reporting on the East while he's in Steamboat...

Nah - he is going to be too busy cutting it up un Streamboat.

Went for a nice mtb ride last night.  3/4 jersey and shorts.  Man, I wish Kingdom Trails were open

Is snoloco going to steamboat? I hadn't heard.  

How the ground up there Chris, pretty dry?

It's dry in Wilton and Qbury, not sure about your neck of the woods.  Soil is in primo condition down here

Overall the west isn't as good as the media hype is trying to make it sound. It's good up in the north west and that's about it. It's going to shift. Historically El Nino years don't really get going here in the SW until late December January some time. Even down in SA this past summer their season didn't get good until what would be our late January.

 I posted up a bunch of insider local tips for the kid and no mention of a thank you or anything. These kids these days.

Winds out of the Southeast will bring another good weekend East of the crest.  Next week looks to be more of the same.  We will probably exceed our accumulation total from last year at Mission, by next weekend.

Read his steamboat thread in the conditions section

This is simple..
Warm this week..Seasonably cold Fri/Sat/Sun...
Possible record breaking warmth from 22 thru 26ish...Then more warmth after...

The following is a email for my buddy..Who happens to be a professional Meteorologist.
Granted it's a down state forecast but it kind a works for the Northeast

Dude…. If you look out and see some guy waving a white towel…. That’s me… this month is just about shot and probably the winter too!! 12 days before xmas and here’s an easy forecast…
