skier150 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Has anyone in the Poconos observed any snow being made yet? Not at Blue yet, I am looking at it right now. I will post as soon as they turn the guns on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librider Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 any word on when cb and shawnee are fireing up tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTmark Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I'm super surprised that Camelback is waiting until tomorrow night to start snowmaking. Do you think it's because it's windy. It should be below freezing here in Allentown by 8:00PM and stay below freezing until mid-late morning tomorrow. Friday night looks to be even colder. snowmaking is not about the accual tempeture of the the air its about wet bulb temp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poconoceancity Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 snowmaking is not about the accual tempeture of the the air its about wet bulb temp. I never really understood the "wet bulb" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTmark Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 The wet bulb temperature (WBT) relates relative humidity to the ambient air or dry bulb temperature. When moisture evaporates, it absorbs heat energy from its environment in order to change phase (via latent heat of vapourisation), thus reducing the temperature slightly. The WBT will vary with relative humidity. If the relative humidity is low and the temperature is high, moisture will evaporate very quickly so its cooling effect will be more significant than if the relative humidity was already high, in which case the evaporation rate would be much lower. The difference between the wet bulb and dry bulb temperature therefore gives a measure of atmospheric humidity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski Posted November 22, 2005 Report Share Posted November 22, 2005 It changed to snow around here (about 12 miles north of Rt. 84) around 1pm. Tough to even see it because the wind's blowing so hard: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
