Winter Weather 2015-2016

Just looked at the 15 day forecast for Vernon, NJ.  In the 60's for 4 days near the end of it.  Six flags opens March 23rd.  Unfortunately, it looks like I'll be there.  No way Mountain Creek lasts past 3/13.

Golf in LP in March?

If it's dry enough..Yes...

If you can't handle the truth, don't read Josh fox single chair weather blog....

i have no clue how to embed a vid

Golf on Christmas and Easter in LP certainly qualifies for worst ski season ever

me either

From NWS BTV:

kind of what I said..

all seem reasonable predictions..

Looks like some snowmaking temps at least at night for Hunter toward the end of this week.  They have the Grand Marnier festival this weekend, so they might light up the guns one last time.  From what I heard last year, that event brings a ton of money to the mountain.  Wednesday night is only 8 degrees and Thursday is high of 21 degrees.

Mountain Creek hasn't packed away their snowmaking equipment either.

So it looks like the first storm without it's own thread might actually accumulate:

In a normal season this would be nothing to jump up and down about. But this year it may give us another week.

Hey man we are base building.

Hey I'm not getting the respect I deserve!!!!!!!! Darin is calling for blow torch warmth and no one is raking  him over the coals..  
Just bust'n balls..

Up after our next act...the Fat Lady will be performing next week...

peace and love

Jason you are like a model, you have to be "read."  

I have TOTAL RESPECT.

The peace and love thing has changed the world too.

Get some while you can.  Looks like the fat lady is singing up here tonight too. ....and then, well looks like the ride of the Valkyries will be the death knell of Ullr's lacklustre party..

NWS has not backed off, but powderfreak is calling bust. And that is for NoVT.

Midweek is time to head to Belleyare for bumps and barbie:

Latest forecast that I saw has mostly rain for all of New England, bust indeed. I have a vacation scheduled for next week and I am looking forward to A+++ spring skiing. It is going to be like mid to late April during the first full week of March. If I can't get the powder, at least I can get the corn... while it lasts.

Just some sleet overnight

With the temps forecast next week the end is near
