Conditions for Keski
Looks very good so far. I skied the upper end of the park on Sunday, and
conditions were perfect. From the Gatineau Park website at 8:30 this morning: Air temp -3C Snow temp -2C Humidity 85% Conditions very good to excellent. http://www.capcan.ca/gatineau/outdoo...nditions_e.asp The long range forecast doesn't go to Sunday yet, but looks good through Friday - flurries for Wednesday throug Friday, lows around -12C to -16C, highs from -8C to -2C. http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/forecast/city_e.html?yow The weather office website should be used as just a guideline, since the weather is slightly different in the park than for the city. People who are training are of course a better source. Good luck to everyone competing!

Looks very good so far. I skied the upper end of the park on Sunday, and conditions were perfect. Now for the weather. Yes, it is still a little far off to be reliable, but a major cold front is expect to push through and drop temps from a high of -8°C Saturday to -30°something Sunday and Monday.... Everyone remember what they wore last year? http://www.weathernetwork.ca/weather/cities/can/pages/CAON0512.htm [death to urban sprawl] |

People who are training are of course a better source. It's strange but the long-range forecasts seem to call for super-cold weather for Sunday. Is it possible to drop so much so suddenly? Like MétéoMédia has a high(!) of -25C on Sunday. http://www.meteomedia.ca/Meteo/Ville...s/CAQC0177.htm And Weather Underground claims -29F/-34C Saturday night!! http://www.wunderground.com/cgi-bin/...awa%2C+ontario I'm worried.

MeteoMedia is now showing a high temperature of -11C / +12F for Sunday.
Let's see what Environment Canada says tomorrow when their five-day forecast reaches out to Sunday. John Forrest Tomlinson wrote Is it possible to drop so much so suddenly? I guess so, when "it" is a "chaotic" mathematical model running from a set of inputs it wasn't calibrated for. I know, I also saw that strange -25C number in their forecast earlier today. But the U.S. National Weather Service for Watertown NY showed a more likely range, which they have since revised colder to 5F / -15C to 10F / -12C. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/data/forecas...ncounty=NYC045 Ken |

When I skied Keski the race was postponed an hour or so to allow for time to
"warm up". I really think that the officials used a match or lighter or other heat sourse to get the temp reading up to 0 F. Could be a good day to classical the FS race. That's what I did, and I save a lot of energy doing it that way. Seems that the race is held usually in either very cold or very warm condtions. 20-28 F maybe is not common for a midwinter temp there. Have fun. It's a great event. Bring your ice skates. I think I'll be there next year. Gary Jacobson Rosendale, NY "Ken Roberts" wrote in message news MeteoMedia is now showing a high temperature of -11C / +12F for Sunday.

I still don't understand these weather forecasts.
Environment Canada is saying a high of -9C for Sunday, whereas MétéoMédia is saying says -17. That's a big difference. I don't use either of these info sources often -- is it possible the Environment Canada high temp is for midnight Saturday, and the MétéoMédia is for early afternoon Sunday, with temps falling all day?

I'd assume Env. Can. is more accurate, and the others are just using
an out-of-date one from Env. Can. That's the optimistic point of view anyway, and that's the way it always works around here in S. Ont. I think all the other people who put out forecasts get them from Env. Can., and often don't update too often. Best, Peter |
