Default The winter that wouldn't start, the winter that wouldn't end.

The subject say it all.

Yesterday AM started out at Killington with
super mid-winter conditions of easy skiing
eastern packed powder following a couple of
powder days previously.

Temps in the 20's to begin, not enough sun
on previous days to soften up and create
EasternFirm(tm). It did warm up to almost
50 degrees with strong sun yesterday. My
wife said I looked very healthy when I got home.

Today it's snowing. It started about 7AM and
we have 4" on the ground down here in the valley.

We are expecting at least a foot up high.
Tomorrow and Saturday should be stellar.

However, rain is predicted, hot rain, I might
add, for Sunday. At least down here.

It could be the end of winter days and the
beginning of spring skiing, which we haven't
really had for the past few years since we
got washed out near the end of March.

It's April 1, fer cripes sake.


Well, we got 4" to 8" the past 12 hours or so as well. Not enough for
powder skiing, but it'll sure cover up the bare spots nicely. Enjoy it
where you can, sierra-at-tahoe closes at 4-16, and heavenly 4-22. I
know I will.

'later,
IS
