Well next 3 weeks, looks like everything will be cold and snowy there. Tetons are about to get hammered next few days. Then 6-10 days the Sierras and Cascades. Then after that I am saying CO

And its gonna rain out here the whole time.

It's only October though hahaha. Most of the east doesn't see snow until the end of November.

Chill dude. I promise that It will snow here. You will be stoked. You'll have a sick season. Just give it some time (:

Why are some of you east coasters so fair weathered? Pissed as fuck cause the east sucks and bitch about how the west gets snow, but then it snowed a shit ton last year and it was the best place to be. Figure it out already.

November is even worse. Not warm anymore but not usually cold enough to go skiing yet. Sucks. The struggle is real.

Sounds like you're all just 12 and are noticing weather patterns for the first time.


You get some cold nights even in september, then you get some consistent cold weather, at least at night. Then you get a really warm patch, etc.

That's every year. Nothing to see here folks.

Winter will be here soon enough. Go build a tree fort or something until then.

At least the north east weather makes some sense. Where I was last summer really had no fucking idea what the hell was going on.

I think the weather forecasters drank heavily. Idk how else they could have done their job. Even the good lord Jebus had no idea what the hell was going on. Instead of a 10 day you were lucky to have success with a 10 hour.

I never look at the weather anyway though. I just ask several people and go with the one that sounds the best.

85 sunny
90 sunny
20 and snow

Okay I'll go with the snow guy. Even if it's june.

I'm pretty sure that's how this all works.

Define 100% dry? It's been sleet/snowing for the last 24 hours it just wasn't cold enough to stick. Pretty par for the course in October.

These season-long "forecasts" aren't reliable at all and shouldn't be taken seriously. It's all just probabilities based on previous years' data, with huge margin of error taking into account the length of the forecast.

Understand that completely, but for myself living in Michigan, snow has been a lot slower in the beginning of the season, then ramps up towards mid February.

Alright guys let's not forget about how we were saying the same things about the weather in December and the first half of January because we barely got any snow. Then the last half of January+ all of February brought record amounts of snow. Let's not get boners about the west yet, it's only November 1st

Holy shit... based on those numbers my home hills do pretty damn good on snow... Last season I believe we had 180" of snowfall. For two tiny hills in WNY thats pretty impressive compared to a few of those mountains..

My hill cranked out a whopping 19 inches. Most of that was November and march which didn't last. Snow depth never got over 3 inches at one time, that was after the biggest storm of the winter... 2012 was worse. Hopefully this year will be okay

Yeah, I'm just praying it gets cold enough that we can get the snow machines running. Last year was shitty and weird as fuck. Get 8 inches of lake effect and below zero temps, then the next day it's 50 degrees. Oh well. I like being able to see my reflection on the mountain anyways
