Winter Weather 21/22

Maybe it's time for everyone , not just skiers, to begin to do something serious. We can get rid of the political deniers who have been calling Climate Change a hoax and make every politician tell us what he or she will do to begin to stop the accelerating changes that will not only bankrupt the ski industry but cause unmitigated pain throughout the world. If they won't do anything than vote them out.

Maybe it's time to demand China to get their shit together
Climate has always been a curve and always will be. MaNatch does what she wants and nothing will change that.

As long as Steamboat keeps getting the snow, I'll be happy. A week out there will fill my need for snow this winter....as it will have to.

The longitudinal effect of this as a function of time over a 78 year life span is simply incredible i have very vivid recollections of major blizzards in the 50's through the 80's . By this time of year in our town snowbanks were often over 6 ft high . In our town those banks were so damn high by January people put RED BALLS on the TOP of their car radio attenas so you could see them if you coming out of your driveway,

Backing ones car into a driveway became a THING .....a survival move to avoid collisons with on coming traffic . My kids built tunnels in those Yooge snowbanks and made forts for awesome snow fight battles with kids in their forts on the other side of the street. You went to the grocery store a couple of blocks away with YOUR SIX FT toboggan , not to be cool but because you had to .Winter was six months long it usually had a major snow fall before my wife's birthday in early november

At one point Being in charge of the college's annual commencement , i saw snow on my birthday a maelstrom On MAY 18 .

This warming phenomena has been slowwly advancing in severity now for almost 5 decades and is now at Warp Speed , its well beyond time for politicians to extract their heads from their posteriors and begin to act in meaningful ways

Yes. Winter started on Halloween and lasted until the first day of trout season. This is the first Dec I can remember not having to plow.

When they raised their price by over 70 per cent this Season on November 1 i fired my lawn and plow service . I have a 9hp 2 stage Ariens but after hip replacement i was laid up so hired these guys and i got lazy .

Not now, the Ariens was serviced has run like a top for the one hr i have used it so far ???i will buy a Riding mower in the spring that will be paid for by the savings . So far in 3 months 690 bucks still in my wallet ?

That isn't the point, as long as we delay confronting global warming the Ski Industry will atrophy.

I believe, that at this moment, there is a chance for snow. I am looking forward to the 4PM update.



I'd tell you guys to get your own thread for climate, but you know in the end I'd lock it right/

NWS ALY longterm, emphasis added

.LONG TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

The New Year is set to start off quite active and volatile as a
major storm system, aided by two merging energies/waves (one from
the northern stream and the other from the southern stream), is
progged to impact a lot of real estate across the central and
eastern U.S. This storm system and merging waves are associated with
an amplified upper trough that will eject from the parent trough
over the western U.S. and shift eastward across the central and
eastern U.S. Potential impacts from all of this includes
accumulating snow/ice over the Midwest, Great Lakes, into the
Appalachians and Northeast U.S., and severe weather across the
southern U.S. New Year`s Weekend. This will be followed by a
major temperature swing New Year`s Weekend into the first week
of January across the eastern 2/3rds of the country as a potent,
modified Arctic cold front sends temperatures plummeting from
warmer than normal levels to colder than normal levels. This
remains the top headline during the extended forecast period.

Beyond New Year`s Weekend, parts of the local area (particularly the
SW Adirondacks, Schoharie, and Mohawk Valleys) could be impacted by
lake effect snow Monday into Tuesday, following the storm system.
There`s also some signals amongst forecast guidances that another
storm system could impact at least parts of the area later in the
week (Thursday-Friday time frame). Overall, the weather pattern will
remain progressive and temperatures are expected to run warmer than
normal levels in a southwest aloft flow regime.

Saturday night into Sunday, precipitation associated with the strong
mid-latitude cyclone, is expected to overspread our local area.
Strong ridging centered off the southeastern coast of the U.S. will
result in a return flow out of the southwest in the mid levels. This
will support increased moisture transport and warm air advection.
Given the setup, temperatures are expected to be warmer than normal
supportive of rain across most of the area (especially the river
valleys). A rain/snow mix eventually changing over to snow is
possible over the SW Adirondacks.

Sunday night into Monday, cold air from a potent Arctic cold front
will advect over the region. This will help in temperature profiles
cooling and snow levels dropping which will result in a change over
to snow over the valleys. However, forecast models are suggesting
that there will be limited moisture available so any snow should be
very light and brief over the valleys. There`s some signal,
primarily amongst the deterministic GFS, that indicates
frontogenesis/cyclogenesis taking place near the mid-Atlantic Coast.
Will have to continue to monitor these trends. For now, have stuck
with the NBM and kept that system removed from impacting the area
there fore keeping things rather dry on Monday across much of the
area.

Behind the storm system, cold westerly wind trajectories off the warm
Lake Ontario waters could result in lake effect snow over the SW
Dacks, possibly into the Mohawk and Schoharie valleys Monday into
Tuesday.

Dry and tranquil conditions over the entire are takes place on
Wednesday. Beyond Wednesday, we`ll have to see if another storm
system impacts the area later in the week.

Temperatures will remain mild during the extended period with
daytime highs in the 30s and 40s outside of Monday (20s/low 30s).
Overnight lows will be mostly in the 20s.

The point is we shouldn't talk about climate change
It will turn political, creating work for Harv. Juss sayin'
Think snow

80s had multiple winters of little snow, memories are a funny thing
