It (they) doesn’t need moderation as much as it (they) needs a clean up.I understand. I really wish the moderators would do *much* more to "moderate." But they don't. This is the only place I have access to your information and, as valuable as it is, I'm just worn out from the constant attempts at oneupsmanship, let alone the gratuitously nasty comments that go back and forth.
Very slushy in Killington yesterday.Phil looking pretty accurate based at the upcoming forecast. I am so glad I went skiing in Vermont last week. This is my normal week and would have sucked.
Phil's accuracy rate is just 39%. Sucks for a forecast % but would be a HOF in the MLB.Phil looking pretty accurate based at the upcoming forecast. I am so glad I went skiing in Vermont last week. This is my normal week and would have sucked.
Just enjoy the warmth and lower heating bills!Why people? Why? 🙄
Was there first week of February and very good snow for the most partVery slushy in Killington yesterday.
Skiers want temps in the 20’s as much as possibleWhy people? Why? 🙄
I think e5fdny was lamenting why are people resurrecting this old weather thread but I could be wrong.Skiers want temps in the 20’s as much as possible
The season is so short anyway, and this year March looks to be a lost month
Phil is no legend like some are when it comes to predictionsPhil's accuracy rate is just 39%. Sucks for a forecast % but would be a HOF in the MLB.
As of this year the rodent has called for 108 continued winters and only 21 early springs. However, he nailed it this year!

At least Phil doesn't falsely pat himself on the back every day for meager results, like someone we all know on this board! 🙄 Legendary fail.Phil is no legend like some are when it comes to predictions

At least Superstar has 25-30' of snow. I think it lasted until Father's Day last year. Enjoy it!Very slushy in Killington yesterday.
I prefer to ski when it's under 20. 10-20 is optimal for snow conditions. Anything above 27 starts to get spring like. Was in Okemo last week and it was great.Skiers want temps in the 20’s as much as possible

It's my fault due to laziness. I didn't feel like starting a new one but agree with e5fdny that old threads should die after the event. I will try to be better next time. 🤷♂️I think e5fdny was lamenting why are people resurrecting this old weather thread but I could be wrong.

Meager ?? Historic more like it !!At least Phil doesn't falsely pat himself on the back every day for meager results, like someone we all know on this board! 🙄 Legendary fail.
My brother lives in Killington, VT. Skis all week. Get the reports from him. Not looking forward to the coming rain and warm temps.At least Superstar has 25-30' of snow. I think it lasted until Father's Day last year. Enjoy it!
Another poor prediction!Meager ?? Historic more like it !!
Years from now , they will be reenacting these posts just like Washington crossing !

I am jealous. Killington is my favorite east coast ski resort. My goal is to eventually be a ski ambassador during my retirement there.My brother lives in Killington, VT. Skis all week. Get the reports from him. Not looking forward to the coming rain and warm temps.
One of my employees and her family is at Heavenly right now. Expected to get 6-8' in the next few days. Hopefully that makes it to you as well.Ordinarily this is where I'd tell you to head west and not look back. But looking pretty questionable at the moment.
Check back in half an hour 🙃
Groundhog more accurate
I'll go with modern numerical weather prediction over a rodent. Hopefully nobody here takes these forecasts seriously, as Phil has been right about 39% of the time since 1887; during that time, he saw his shadow 107 times, and saw no shadow 20 times, meaning he forecasts extended winter way too often. That's worse than even guessing, which should be right about 50% of the time and way worse than how long range forecasters would do (about 60%). And with the coming likely pattern change this year it's looking pretty likely the little varmint will be wrong in predicting an early spring.

Yeah, was just chatting with a friend who lives right at Lake Tahoe and they are gearing up for a ginormous snowstorm lasting days for the Sierras, as per below. And the mountains for much of the western US will also get major snowfalls although not as much as the Sierras. Had some of my fondest snow/skiing memories at Lake Tahoe, where we got nearly 5' of snow our first two nights there back in the late 80s - first time I ever truly skied real powder and it was just amazing.One of my employees and her family is at Heavenly right now. Expected to get 6-8' in the next few days. Hopefully that makes it to you as well.
Only for temps, not for snow. Snow verified and then some as NB got 16" of snow in the period I said would likely be snowier than normal and that's hugely beyond snowier than normal.Pattern fail
Don't blame me, lol - there's actually even a thread specifically for Phil's predictions, so as I've said more than a few times, even if there are separate threads for every event, it just won't matter - people will sometimes just post in the "wrong" thread and to be honest, does it really matter?And there it is…🙄
Thanks guys. Thanks a lot.😵💫
Just imagine if we had a "general winter weather thread" that was generally on the first page - that would be the perfect place to talk about snow in the Sierras or New England or the warmth we're having now...It's my fault due to laziness.

It was great meeting you at the Maryland game Numbers - although the outcome certainly wasn’t ideal!Just imagine if we had a "general winter weather thread" that was generally on the first page - that would be the perfect place to talk about snow in the Sierras or New England or the warmth we're having now...

Yes, I kept meaning to post something on the hoops board saying the same, but I just haven't been into posting there after the last three terrible losses - when we're doing badly I tend to stay away from the board...It was great meeting you at the Maryland game Numbers - although the outcome certainly wasn’t ideal!
I do the same, and that certainly was a brutal loss!Yes, I kept meaning to post something on the hoops board saying the same, but I just haven't been into posting there after the last three terrible losses - when we're doing badly I tend to stay away from the board...
Are we starting a new thread in an old thread??As per the tweet, it's a big deal when the NWS has a nearly 100% probability of extreme impacts over the next 3 days from a storm, as they do for the entire Sierra Nevada range.
