ouch !

and i wonder how many hardgoods shops bite the dust this season.  it's gotta be tough on the niche and independent retailers.

I bet rock gear sales will get a head start

Powder is divine, but so is bomber high pressure midwinter with a mature snowpack.

Either way, we win.

Don't Poop on my head and tell me its a hat! All jokes aside, down here on Hood, the snow levels have been going up and down ever since the storms returned. I'm not ready for more high pressure.

Check the 30, 60, and 90 day outlooks...

Right-o.  Been doing that since October, and there has been absolutely no change in the 30 and 90 day outlooks - consistently, the 'forecast' has been for colder and wetter than normal, yet when those periods come closer in, the reality has been otherwise.  Just goes to show the state of long term forecasting and the chaotic nature of weather (sticklers for accuracy should have some fun with the use of 'chaotic' here..).

There, I've said it - and you may now expect cold smoke for the rest of the season, beginning later next month - you're welcome..   

Oh-oh..   maybe not - sorry..
