Pretty much the title says it all. It is fucking shitty weather here in northern ontario canada right now. Were are coming on the end of november, and we are getting +8 C. This is fucking bullshit, i hate this weather. Anybody else in the same situation?

Tell me about it. Western New York here. Buffalo. It's been getting close to the teens at night, but then during the day it's hitting mid-50s.

It was colder in October than November.

Cold next weekend (forecasted). But it's going to be 2 weeks before anywhere opens because they've got no snow on the ground.

But I can't even put faith in that because they said it would be snowing this weekend, last weekend.

Yea but remember that Winter doesn't officially start till December 21. Everyone is complaining that we don't have snow now, but I can remember times where he haven't seen snow until after x-mas.

Eh, only thing is, Holiday Valley,(local hill nearby) nearly always opens the day after thanksgiving.

Not even close this year.And it's really looking like it will be 2 more weeks at minimum before they do.

That is a HORRIBLE start to a season. Nearly 14 days off the average seasons pace.

I was skiing over-the-shoulder powder on this day last year, but right now all we have for snow is about a 12-18" slab of ice on the mountains.  But there's a chance of heavy snowfall over the next few days, so that could change.

Yea its gettin fuckin aggrevating. I've had jibs set up since the first week in October and we where gettin highs of zero and 1 so i was all pumped that winter was coming, then all of a sudden the last two weeks it went to like plus 12 and rain and now its droped to highs of 7 and 8 some nights not even goin below zero. So now here where are at the end of October and I have less jibs up then I did 2 weeks ago and Im gettin snow from the rink down the street 2ice as much.
