When is the Snow Gonna Fly in Deep Creek? -> Karma Contest!

[AssMan]

Damn, if you are where I think you are, you are between Richmond and I-81. That is one hell of a hike from where you used to live. On the upside, I could only use 2 major highways to get there, if I want to visit you in America.

Yep, pretty far from the 'neck. Come on down!

Not yet. It's been warmer than hades til last week...

 

[DadOSix]

Is there even any snowmaking at the Wisp?

Cmon Snow!

The Winter Snowstorm That Wasn't

As usual the weather forecasts got it wrong. As of 1:00 PM today we have about 1". The sun is shining so I don't think we'll be getting to 3" before this snow event moves on out...

They've had the snow machines running full tilt at the WISP since Saturday. The temps will remain sub-freezing till about Wednesday. After that the daytime temps will get to the mid 40's for the rest of the week...

Very neat karma!

January 5th

15% chance of snow late tonight over there.

C'mon low pressure!

I saw you locked in Jan 5...

If the wind blows just right maybe some of the snow the WISP is making will fall on my deck... But, maybe not...

So near, yet so far...

Wow

this has been a long wait.

Next guess - umm

January 21, 2016 for the win.

Actually since I drove by on Friday afternoon, when it had dropped to 28 degrees. It was plenty cold Friday, Saturday and Sunday but doesn't sound like it will last long enough to salvage the season.

This warm fall and early winter have been tough for the WISP and local economy. The skiers generate a lot of revenue for our businesses.

I do not know what all the conditions need to be for making snow, but I do know the temp has to be below freezing. Hopefully they've built enough base over the past few days to get running. Even when the temps rise during the day they can often blow enough snow overnight to keep the mountain open - if it's cold enough.

He's working mother nature to be in his favor... He wants her on HIS side...

Others here will tell you that I'm a .22lr MAGNET.

I don't think brass and lead are magnetic though.

No no nooooooo, I learned my lesson.

I have some steel case Tula ammo. It's magnetic. I could set some outside if you guys think it will attract 3" of snow overnight...

 

[DC-W]

That's the point. I'm so magnetic, lead cannot resist
