The EC weather sucks

[Godwin-Austin]

prepare the rake, stir the coals, mull the wine, filleth thine goblets, for from yon comes the tempest!

where is this mead hall party you speak of? will there be serving wenches?

Also he recently aquired an exquisite Alpaca dickey that he simply must expose to the elements. Also the Beaugelais are in the wanning days of their ripeness and are always best enjoyed on the wind-blasted, knife edge ridgeline of a high-alpine range with water crackers and fine imported anchovies.

Screw your cloudveil puffy. What you need on those cold VT days is something like this:

This warm-up isn't really that bad. Sure, there's no fresh powder out there, but come on, we still have Feb and March coming folks! Last night I went over to Jiminy for some sweet, soft and deep corn harvesting. I don't know about you, but I think corn is almost as nice as powder!

You're so right on the money Sprite with your "go git sum" attitude. Why is everyone around here so when they could be more like or .

Personally, on rainy days like the one coming, I like to let the boys out for a swim...see, here they come now...

Dust on crust so hot right now.

Speaking of Regal Music...

Tryin' to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pourin',
Fallin' on my ears.
And I wonder, Still I wonder
Who'll stop the rain.
Whoooooooo'llllll stop the rain?

I'm looking forward to a weekend of sleeping in a little, consuming enormous amounts of funfetti, chilling out to MoTown hits, CCR, Wang Chung, and other quality cassettes in Betty's collection, and testing out the new Gore-Tex.

What a bunch of pussys.

Real men ski glare ice and softball size death cookies.

Not if you don't suck at skiing the east coast. I'll be skiing waist deep untracked shots through the trees all day tomorrow at Thunder Ridge.

So are they just really big liars at Plattekill? How can it be pushing 50 at MRG and these jokers are calling for snow?

Greetings from Plattekill Mountain --

Despite the wrath of good ol' mother nature and a very warm, unseasonable past
week (with record breaking high temps no less)...we're not letting that stop us
at Plattekill Mountain...and we sure hope that doesn't stop you either!

In fact, we are open today and skiing and riding from 8:45am-4:15 with some real
nice spring conditions...and winter is going to be back tomorrow as we are
expecting snow on Saturday and snow showers throughout the day on Sunday.

Today we're skiing/riding with 10 trails open and 2 lifts and we plan to open
the double chair and up the trail count for the weekend once the snow gets firm
again - hopefully for Saturday. Today we're reporting machine groomed loose
granular and spring conditions on a 8-24" base.

Well, technically they're not lying. It will likely switch over to light snow in the Catskills just before midnight on Saturday with some on and off snow showers Sunday. Maybe an 1" of dust on crust.

And for those of you exhorting us to see the bright side of the current weather, feel free to engage in rain-drenched self-flagellation on mnth old manmade crap. Just don't expect the rest of us to come along for the ride. This is not exactly what makes my spine tingle when I see the first issues of Powder et.al. arrive in the mail in August. It gets old quickly. Beats the hell out of Bed, Bath and Beyond though.

Does she have the soundtrack to the Big Chill?

I don't know, but she has quite a Readers Digest collection in the bathroom.

The new landlady's name is Betty? I hope she's less weird than the old Betty. Who was about as normal as someone living in Barton, VT can be.

[diskoskeegrl]

Pardon my my goblet for being half full. I just can't help it with so much of Biggins' mulled wine hanging around.

I think it's Beverly.

Dude, reading Powder here on the East Coast is like being a double amputee reading Penthouse. Why torture yourself like that???

[KBL Ed]

Maybe I'm just feeling grateful that I get to enjoy a weekend of life,

I have to work this weekend. Else, yeah, I would just go and enjoy whatever they have to slide on anyway.

[snowsprite]

oh crap, Sprite, I know you are just trying to make us all feel better - sorry for setting off that thermo-nuclear warhead on your head.

I'm sorry for pooping in the thread. I am having a bad day!

I would love to wear that skiing!

On my way back from lunch, there was a lady walking down the street in a long green statue of liberty outfit with a red satin sash draped across it that said something. She's one of the regular "street posse" that mills around downtown.

I wonder where she got the outfit, and what her sash said. Last time I saw her walking around she looked really bad...in a "too much meth" kind of way. Today, she looked rested and like she had gained weight. But anyway, what is the deal with the statue of liberty outfit? I am intrigued!

Oh, I wasn't implying they can't get mad play...it's just that going solo on a magazine seems a bit difficult.
