Worst season ever

I know it's early, but, I am now proclaiming this to be the worst season in memory. Rain coming in tomorrow with a flash freeze afterwards that makes driving up to an ice rink very unappealing, and high pressure settling in out west after the only big storm in weeks. I was told by my friends last week that I was "lucky" conditions were so good at Killington last week. sheesh.
If you watch CNBC or Bloomberg, try to avoid salivating at the enormous amount of snow in the background at Davos right now. Wish I was one of the non working 1% who could just jet off to the Alps right now........

Benny i posted this in the weather forum but i'm in total agreement with ya !!!!!

Crap Just what we need another FN ice storm tonite and tomorrow. This will be our  4th ICE storm in 2 weeks . Our walks drives and yards are like hockey rinks now and i 've put over 75 lbs of rocksalt / ice melt down so far

Worst FN winter in my lifetime and i'll be 69 this yr . I'm usually positive as can b , but i'm weary of this crap.

Happy 69th year bro!  

I'm approaching the fence w/ regards to throwing in the towel but a couple good storms and all this is forgotten...

Hey did you hear about the Indain who loved to drink tea?  

A white man introduced him to tea and he loved it!  Could not get enough of it.  So one day he traded all his buffalo robes for tea!  

The next day they found the poor fellow dead in his teepee!!!




humor helps when mother nature wont.....

Shakespear nailed it:  Now is the winter of our discontent.

You really are wicked smart

Except that I misspelled Shakespeare.

didn't notice...  

Geez Camp b damn careful on that crap bro !  I forgot you live on the steeps . Even dangerous for the 2 dogs . The Teefster my 22 lb Siberian Forest Cat has his studded snow tires on ( extra long and sharp claws ) . We didn't trim the bastids so he could handle all this icy  crap but its kinda funny watching him try to "cover " his Bidness" with all the damn ice . LMAO

And I cancelled my annual January golf trip to Florida to stay home so I could ski more!

Of course you did, AFTER he pointed it out

You know, it's funny, but a few years ago, I'd have been bitching and moaning a storm about how much this season sucks! Since then, however, I've experienced quite a few "life-changing" events between myself and some family members which have really helped to put things in perspective for me.

Don't get me wrong, I love skiing and look forward to the start of each season from the day the prior season ends, and this winter has really not delivered, but I haven't lost hope yet. Some prolonged cold weather and one good storm could change everything.
Besides, the Giants are in the Super Bowl!!!

Things can always be worse. Not sure if that's a glass half-full or half-empty way of thinking ... depends on your perspective!

Thanks! Glad to be here!

Figures this was the first year in my life that I got season passes after not skiing for 20 + years! :(

Camp - think of how pissed you would be if you blew your knee out and it was dumping every other day.  If you are gonna do it - seems like this is the season to be out of commission.

I've had my left ACL done twice.  Once with the patella tendon.  That "wore out" after 5 years.  I currently have poor "bob's" ACL in there and it seems to be holding up fine although I have some pain this year.  Its a long road back, but worth it. Especially those painkillers they give you.  Those are NICE.  Hope it all goes well for you
