Jeff, you couldn't have described both the conditions and the forecast HERE in Central New York any better if you lived here. Still waiting to hear from Clara whether the Tug Hill Try-It races for this Saturday will be on or off. Normally they have way more snow up there than we do here but at the moment we seem to be about the same. -Mitch On Wed, 12 Jan 2005 wrote: We have about 6 inches in the woods around here in Mid-Mich that's been holding strong for a few days of near-freezing. Right now it's 35F and rainy, but today it's supposed to spike near 50F today with rain, even a thunderstorm. Tomorrow, again with the 50F and rain...but then in the afternoon it'll drop to 20F!!! Crazy! Then at night it drops to 1F! Uber-crazy! Can our snow hold on til tomorrow night? If we're left with even a crusty base, I'll be bowing and scraping and praising all the powers that be. After that the forecast calls for teens for several days, all with likely snow. If we keep a base...if we keep a base... --JP |

In the Twin Cities, it's some freezing spritzle. After that's done, the
temps go in the cellar...stuff like -17 F overnight and -6 F for highs. All this freezing rain and cold weather means the salting crews are out in full force. Most of my neighbors haven't pulled out a shovel, but they've laid down the Bonneville Salt flats on their sidewalks and driveways. It sure screws up the base training for the cycling season, but the running is going pretty well. Jay (groan and shake your head like Lurch) Wenner |

In the Twin Cities, What about the pond skiing/ lake skiing? How is that holding up? I haven't tried it yet this season, but I've done lots of laps on Jensen lake in past years. It looks like your season pass to Troll Hallow was a good investment, Mr. Diaz. I can honestly say my skis have not touched anything but man-made snow this season. Trollhaugen is all I have skied. |

Ddues, I've skied almost every day since I wasn't puking, long about
Xmas. The less sick I got the harder I skied. Can't help it. It might melt any day! That's my training cycle. I go as hard as I can for as long as the snow lasts. When it melts I rest. Well, I've been going awhile now. I was starting to get tired! Ha, yesterday we got a snow-dump of 3" and I shoveled the long drive then skied an hour. I was stumbling at the end. --Skiing harder every day for 2 weeks since being sick for weeks on end... That's funny! But I can't help it! It might melt! ...Then I snowblowed a parking lot across town. I was tired. It rained/fogged/warmed all day today. I just worked and peered out the window. I feel my legs coming back already. URGENT BULLETIN! I just checked my digi-temp and darn it's 51F outside right now at 11pm. RATS! But it's supposed to be 25F by tomorrow afternoon. Then start snowing a bit again. C'mon, hang on base! I only need 2-3 days off! If the base holds maybe I'll do my first ski-skating of the year on the crusty golf course. Oh yeah! But who wants to do that? I love a crust but only after all the good skiing's gone! : ) I mean what kind of fitness is skating good for? Probably mess up my kick. Crazy, mon. |

Well, that's it. It's gone.
So we had weeks of 25F then 30F and plenty of snow and now we get 24 hrs of 50F which is supposed to be followed by 25F in a few hours, then 0F and snow. Great. Why did that lame spell of 50F have to show up? |

I feel your pain. We are at 54° here right now. It really sucks. All
the snow is gone. Even with the next few days of light snow, I doubt there will be any good skiing around these parts. June wrote in message oups.com... Well, that's it. It's gone.

Has this been posted here before? http://www.nohrsc.nws.gov/interactive/html/map.html It's a interactive zoom-in-able snow depth map of the US. If anyone's been using it for a while now, I'm curious how accurate you've found it to be? -Mitch |

Looks pretty good for NE based on what I have seen recently.
But no snow above the Canadian border? Why do so many weather maps persist in pretending that there is no weather in Canada. Drives me nuts!

Agreed, that's the sucky part. Living near the border, which probably describes the majority of skiers in both countries, it would be nice to have it all on a single map. So, northern neighbors, is there a snow-depth map of Canada online anywhere? -Mitch On Thu, 13 Jan 2005, Rob Bradlee wrote: Looks pretty good for NE based on what I have seen recently.
