Seriously, WTF is with this Weather?

[toast21602]

I won't be surprised if there's a ban on non emergency vehicles and if that's the case blue won't be open tomorrow.

 

That would be a downer.

[RootDKJ]

Yeah that's possible but I don't really want to car camp don't think I'll fall asleep.

SUJOPO?

I was thinking the same thing...

 

That would be a downer.

 

This is my biggest concern at this point.  I saw Mountain Creek isn't going to open on Tuesday.

Just get one of these things and fly to blue

 

I have a friend who likes to launch his parasail from the upper lot at Blue in warmer weather.

Hopefully Blue will post something on their FB page.

 

I'd hate to start out and fight to get up there, only to find out they're closed.

Root would just be my luck if I got caught jerking off in my car. At least it wouldn't be in a high school parking lot.

Hopefully Blue will post something on their FB page.

That would be like national lampoons vacation.

"Thanks to everybody who shared their fun photos from Friday's snow! We're anticipating over a foot of snow on Tuesday, and WILL be open for it! Come get your blizzard on at PA's highest vertical! #BlueMyMind"

 

their latest post from yesterday.

Well they were open during the blizzard right?? I wasn't here then. The later the start the better the drive up will be. If it starts snowing at 1am could be almost a foot by 7am. I'm more concerned about blowing, drifting and whiteout conditions for the drive.

I don't recall the timing of that one (it might have started later in the morning), plus it wasn't expected to produce as much as it did.

This looks more intense than the blizzard.

Holy shit.

Appears as though we're in the bulls-eye...

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

They're calling it a pocono NEPA special on tha cheesehead forums which I should get off of if I wanna get my work done. I'm thinking we might be shutdown Wednesday as well if we get the humdinger that's forecasted.

Trend has been west a bit, some mixing issues for Philly but it puts LV in the smell rain discussion which is probably awesome. Snow is always heaviest closet to the line and blue looks to be within 100miles. 12kNam shows 36" for LV, REGM 24" REGM is colder. There isn't much else to say the models have agreed pretty much for a week. The computer baring something unprecedented can't tell us much more.

 

Weather is gambling but as far as gambling goes this is a real good bet,if you can't commit to this one what can you commit to. Could it run off the coast ? Sure but odds are Blue is getting pasted and I for one am going to be there.

 

Camping out for sure, echo base rules, stove and provisions.......I'll have the touring rig so if they don't open I'll make sure to center punch challenge and pee my name in the snow.

[toast21602]

Fuck I need to be there.

[Shadows]

worst case for me i just show up at like 4 am to beat the morning snow.

[RootDKJ]

Echo Base.... nice, I'm totally stealing that.

Based on Facebook, you already did. STRIKE 2.

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Wow Law earning turns. Unfortunately blue is private property.

Six giant dings coming your way Root. Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding

I'll bring my XC gear in case I need to ski home.

Just an out-of-order penalty.  I'll go delete a bunch of posts to make up for the infraction.

[toast21602]

brining touring gear is a great idea. I'll do the same.

[Shadows]

im bringing a jeep.

If nobodies there who's gonna enforce it.

 

Come out, a person if sufficiently motivated could boot behind somebody on a rig and not suffer too terribly.

 

I'll gladly take a trespassing charge to rip challenge with a foot.

[tarponhead]

Blue was open for last year's blizzard and A-town airport scored >30". Blue will be open! You guys will kill it. Any jersey peeps get out tonight and find digs as close to blue as possible. Christie will be lead bitch again and close all roads to non-emergency vehicles. Dat fat fuk

[AtomicSkier]

I'm concerned about getting there with how fast the rates are gonna be. I'm glad I got my pow fix in Friday so don't have the powder panic as bad. Honestly I'm more excited to just see a huge snowstorm then get a few pow runs and if it's crazy deep and crazy winds you don't move much at blue unless it's super light and dry.

 

Will be a game time decision tomorrow morning I just don't wanna get stuck behind cars facing sideways on the way there.

Excuses are like assholes. Everyone has one.

Excuses are like assholes. Everyone has one.

Opinions and now blizzard warnings issued and they are saying we could have a few hours of 2-4" per hour snowfall rates.
