bigdaddyk Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 Article on PennDot getting ready for winter http://www.danvillenews.net/site/news.cfm?..._id=96584&rfi=6 I hope they are correct in predicting that it could be one of the worst winters and old fashioned
Granola Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 they say this almost every year though i will believe when i see it
Schif Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 This is good news. When we get a huge dump of snow, it will be easy to drive to the mountain to take advantage of it!
Papasteeze Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 I hope they run out of salt by thanks giving
VTmark Posted November 4, 2005 Report Posted November 4, 2005 I hope they run out of salt by thanks giving Amen to that.

I have every intention of skiing on my birthday (the day following thanksgiving)... I better be able to get from the Jersey shore, into the mountains before they run out.

lastduchess113 Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 What's your Jersey Shore location? Seaside. Well actually on the mainland and two towns south, but they went to my high school, so it's close enough
romemadman Posted November 5, 2005 Report Posted November 5, 2005 hey i live like 45 min from u and i knoww some kids that go down there in the summer that live around me yea hoppefully we get waht every one is predicting
lastduchess113 Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 45 minutes which direction... and we better get snow... i'm itching for this season so badly i think i'm driving everyone i know a lot crazy.
Captain Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 I hope they run out of salt by thanks giving yeah man. They always ruin all my fun. With all the plowing and what not. I'd much prefer them to leave a good 3 feet on the roads!
capt'n morgan ski Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 yeah man. They always ruin all my fun. With all the plowing and what not. I'd much prefer them to leave a good 3 feet on the roads! Definitly more fun to drive... but I def had a close call going to CB last winter... I was on I80 just before PA (exit 4ish) while traveling with lastdutchess, with about 7-8 inches on the road... I definitly hit a patch of ice or something spun 180 almost hit 3 cars then ended up backward right up next to the median. This could have been much worse, but between luck, the ski gods, and my driving skills we were able to make it to the mountain on time. Still scary though... as soon as I got out of my car to see the damage, my first thought was if I'd still be able to make it to CB to ski for the day... Then my second thought was to see if lastdutchess was ok, then the ski's and finally... my car. I guess that's how it goes... ------ ... got a lil captain in you?
poconoceancity Posted November 6, 2005 Report Posted November 6, 2005 yeah man. They always ruin all my fun. With all the plowing and what not. I'd much prefer them to leave a good 3 feet on the roads! Clear the roads...it gets you to the mountain quicker. I've spent 6 hours in the car trying to get to the Poconos during a storm. Totally worth it, the next day were some of the best conditions at CB.
Glenn Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 Clear the roads...it gets you to the mountain quicker. ... and let all the weekend warriors ruin the atmosphere and conditions?
lastduchess113 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 my first thought was if I'd still be able to make it to CB to ski for the day... Then my second thought was to see if lastdutchess was ok, then the ski's and finally... my car. I guess that's how it goes... I should be offended that I was your second thought, but I won't lie, my first thought was get this car out of this mess so I can get out on the slopes... I vote for partially clearing the roads... it'll stop the people who are afraid to be out there, but it won't stop us.
VTmark Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 im buying chains for this year. so that doesn't happen to me :shakes head aprovelingly::
VTmark Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 its more to keep my gf's dad thinking that im a responsable driver. and that im perpered so i can take her with me to the mt. on pow days.
poconoceancity Posted November 7, 2005 Report Posted November 7, 2005 its more to keep my gf's dad thinking that im a responsable driver. and that im perpered so i can take her with me to the mt. on pow days. What make/model car are you putting chains on?
skidude Posted November 8, 2005 Report Posted November 8, 2005 I would freak too...Then jump out my window with some rock skis on!
VTmark Posted November 8, 2005 Report Posted November 8, 2005 What make/model car are you putting chains on? ford taurs wagon 96 I hope we get dumped on so much and spring never comes. I recently read a weather book at the Allentown library and I read about the winter of 1816. Due to a massive volcano eruption not as much of the suns rays hit the north east and 1816 was called the year without a summer in the northeast. Snowfall in Massachusettes in July, wells freezing up in PA in mid summer. It's no urban legend. I would love that to happen again. Non-skiers would freak if they woke up to a foot of snow in June. It would be bliss.
