Okay, so when's it going to snow? I'm sick of waiting. I don't give a rat's ass if it's only December. When the FUK is it going to snow-- I mean really SNOW-- around here??? I even got the hell out of here and it didn't dump. :nonono2: What do we have to do for an EC storm? :mad:

Winter on the EC has been cancelled until further notice. And you can say fuck on this board no one wil yell at you. :biggrin:
When I went to bed it was snowing. All the local news reports had people panicking. Mob rule was in order at Home Depots across Eagle and Sixer country. I woke up this morning, and I didn't even need to brush off my windsheild. :cussing:
Well, then, on behalf of snowless California, FUCK!
Kirkwood is a little firm, think Boyne Mountain in good conditions… not shit, but not what you expect from “the deepest snowpack in North America™”. The storm door will swing open December 30th and pound the Sierra with an epic New Year’s dump. On January 2nd, Kirkwood will open Chair 10 for the first time in 2005.
Well this morning, central WI got about 1/4 inch of some rimy/graupelly stuff... I guess it was slick because one of my professors was 45 min late for the final I was supposed to take.
Was at Crystal yesterday and I can't believe that they are even open. I talked to the owner and he said that there was more snow in October. It was skiing, it was sloppy and rocky...but this is ridiculous. I would bring the bike back out and put the skis up but for the fact that I just paid my Red Mtn comp entry fee...that should be fun. :( I guess on the bright side, NOBODY is getting snow right now, so we can all whine together.
SNOW DAMN IT! Mid mtn. bases are averaging around 30" here in CO. Looks like we might get a little this week, but nothing huge or even that significant.

I did have a little snow this morning but it was in the wrong place

Yes what the FUCK!!!
I even took extra time off this week told the family that I can't make it up to Portland due to my planed storm chasing this year.
Well it was 58 or so yesteray in Fort Collins got out for a nice bike ride and have almost given up on skiing this X-mas week.
If the storms ever show their face I am ready to hit the road and do some chasing.
I just talked to my boss and told him That I will be at work on Thursday due to lack of snow. :cussing:
I was attempting to be ladylike, but who am I trying to kid? Fuckity fuck fuck FUCK! I want snow...especially now that my new Darksides have arrived (a bittersweet joy b/c I want to ride them now!!).
Any weather bugs out there that can give us some hope? I'm going north in the middle of next week so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Oh, and it was snowing when I left UT...hope they got a nice frosting out there!
:)

Yeah, I'll throw in a "This is Fucking Bullshit" from BC.
Bozeman representing with some icy moguls and flat light. The radness factor is getting really high around here with the lack of snow.
Assholes driving SUV's in Bucks County? No, really :rolleyes:Quote:

I don't think that was snow. I think it was frozen smog :)Quote:

I mean we can't even get all the way down north face yet
Might I point out that at altitude there is a ton of snow! :) and this has been one of the best years for pow yet
Word from Traverse City & Petoskey last week was of blower lake effect.
Ugh. :(
Got out of school this afternoon and for the first time this year it looked like a blizzard outside. We only got three inches but it still felt good to see the snow fallng again. I just hope that some of the storm hit NH. I need a good christmas present.
this is how i have spent a productive Monday, repressing my snow-rage....
comparing this Dec (which sux) to the last 2 (that rocked), going through the last 2 yrs snow fall record going "oh! yeah! i remeber that day, it was epic!"
this yr so far:

last yrs goodness: (Dec was soo sweet: '180 from early Dec-early Jan)

It snowed here yesterday and I work on a ski resort but I can't ski :frown: because I tore a ligament. So frustrating. (There's snow but I can't ski it anyway whining.)
It's okay, Redskea - the lifts were closed for wind anyway.Quote:

We got like 2 inches. Grrrr.
Enough snow this morning to add a half hour to my KMart drive, but just a few inches there. Jezuz lordy it was cold. We bitched about the gondola recently, but it was the only lift you could use without crying for mommy. I even broke down for those Marmot mittens afterwards - my fingers are stinging typing this. And, hahaha, God is cruel, they are talking about 50 degree rain on Thursday.
It sucks in Japan right now too;

White whelks are attacking the camera!

NO SNOW FOR YOU!
Great avatar!
Don't look at the forecast for Thursday.
I got in another good mtn bike ride today. FUCK FUCK FUCK!!! This no snow thing blows hard. :nonono2:
So for christmas I get this in the PNW: No snow forecast, shitty football team, and the prospect of ice skating at Whistler over new years... gee, how swell...
Its dumping in SF....
in fog...
High pressure sucks.
High pressure sucks.
And again: high pressure sucks.
Thank heavens my ski destination is a flippy spinny camp (aka amusement park, basically) not a big mountain camp...
[antijinx]Word on the street is that there may be (unskiable) snow ELSEWHERE for Christmas morning though. :biggrin: :cool: [/antijinx]

Was at Whistler on Sunday.... Hahah hah hahahahah hahah haha. One of the worst days ever. I have newer seen the PNW and friends in such bad shape. It all melted and then froze up... so bad!
It has been confirmed... Sunday was the worst day ever. My roommate was at Baker and had the same opinion.Quote:
