Precipitation in several forms

It is noon hour Saturday and things are happening outside! Right now it is snowing fairly hard and should continue doing so for another couple of hours. After that the forecast calls for freezing rain, followed by rain, with temperature rising overnight, then dropping again tomorrow.
There may be an hour or two this afternoon when we have decent ski conditions. After the rain and warmth have passed through, we'll see what is left.

Still Waiting

We got about 1 cm of snow yesterday, and another 1 cm of new snow overnight. That brings our total on the ground to about 3 cm; still not enough to ski on.
There is a storm predicted for Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately it looks like it is going to bring us more rain than snow.

The Ground is White

We have 1 cm of snow on the ground; a few more cm required before we can start skiing.

On the Right Track

It is -9 outside and snowing lightly. We've had some flurries since yesterday and there is now a white covering on the ground. Not enough to ski on, but at least we're heading in the right direction. The forecast calls for more flurries today, with possible accumulations of 4 cm. so, with any luck we might be able to ski soon.

No Skiing Yet

It's been a week since my last post, and things have only gone from bad to worse. We have lost 99% of our snow and the temperature outside right now is +3. Colder weather is supposed to return tomorrow, but the only snow in the forecast is "flurries". That will not likely provide us with enough snow to ski on for as least a few more days.
When we do have adequate snow cover, I'll let you know.

Looks like a Wet Christmas

If the weather forecast proves to be correct, we are in for some very mild, wet weather over the next few days. The little bit of snow we now have on the trails will likely disappear.
I will not make any further posts until I have some good news to report.

Saturday December 20 - Needed: More Snow

We've had a trace of new snow since Thursday, but not enough to make the trails skiable.
