Winter Weather 22/23

NNJ and it is 42F at 9:25am. Its like we moved to Raleigh, NC.
It was -21F in SVT on Saturday morning. When we got back to NJ on Sunday afternoon, it was 53F. The high was in the 54F on Monday and 43F yesterday. These are usually some of the coldest winter days. The ground is not frozen.

Just brutal for skiers.
Brutal for our ecosystems as well.
 
Grab some Genny's and a garbage plate, that should ease your pain.
Haha. I'd love a garbage plate! But that's about 5 days worth of calories for me :)

Anyway in true fashion of this crap winter I recorded 0.9" of rain yesterday, overperforming the 0.5" forecast. Ugh!
 
Hard to express how bad of a year this has been for the southern areas.

Mountain Creek has still not opened several key trails. Straightaway, Khyber Pass, Independence Pass, Grand Prix, Southern Sojourn, Red Tail, Al's Alley, Wacky Way, and Halley's Comet have not seen any snowmaking.

My last year as a passholder there was 15-16, and if I remember correctly, they opened everything except Independence Pass and Red Tail, even if only for a short time. The Sojourn trail and lift that connects the two sides was open by mid-January that year. It doesn't look like it will open at all this year. Until now, there has never been a year when it didn't open. Bear Peak opened for a few days in December, then melted and remained closed until last weekend. They don't skimp on snowmaking there. The weather has just been that bad.
 
I guess this will add insult to injury..
i wouldn't be surprised next week ,if the NY metro area flirts with the upper 60's..
then some rain and you what? another arctic blast..
 
Time to change the title here to
"Spring Weather". After all weathermans' spring is only 18 days away. Saw on the NYS Mesonet site at Whiteface that it hit 51 degrees after midnight and they reported .8" of precip, I'd guess mostly liquid.
