the snow generally comes in spurts. we will have usually 2-3 big storms, courtesy of erie himself, but it will mostly be gone in 2 weeks. then comes the 3 days of rain...

I think anyone who lived in Upstate New Yorks snowbelts can agree that the winter of 06-07 was absolutely awesome once it began. Sure it sucked not skiing until the second week of January, but the multiple feet of powder that fell in a weeks time was so worth it.

I hope you guys have a good winter this year though. Long range forecasts based of the European model are hinting at normal temps with above average snowfall for the great lakes areas.

http://www.accuweather.com/mt-news-blogs.asp?blog=anderson&partner=accuweather&pgUrl=/mtweb/content/anderson/archives/2008/08/update_on_fall_and_winter_model_outlook_1.asp

They are predicting for a warmer than normal November, with a colder than normal January and February. We all know that means warmer lakes to start with, which means more lake snows.

If it snows as much as it rained this summer i will be so pumped. yeah the begining of the season at bristol was great but then it pretty much sucked until like halfway through January. I also have 2 weeks off for winter break so i hope we have a lot of snow

I hope it continues on into the season....I just realized today that throughout this entire summer, I only turned on the AC in my car twice...and one day was today.  It rained sooo much, we would be up to our armpits in snow if we get that much precip this winter.

My dad grew up skiing at Greek Peak.

My grandma lives near there so I might go there over Christmas Break. Do they have a decent park?

I'm skeptical about all that farmers almanac and long range forecast stuff. Weathermen can't even make the right predictions for a 5 day forecast sometimes. Whatever, if NY has a winter like last year, I'll be content.

People who don't spend 95% of their time in the park, and actually enjoy themselves outside of it. We all know that playing in natures natural terrain is better than any man made park. I should soooo be out west. FUCK!
