There is NO snow in town or anywhere besides what is left on the slopes. At least we don't have avalanches. A friend in Utah HAD been going up to Snowbird for the afternoon ..... but not after this:

I saw that Tremblant reported 18 cm last night, but looking at webcam pics I don't see that much snow. Tremblant used to be very good at accurately reporting conditions - now I'm wondering. Do you know for sure how much they got? It was SO good last week - I was there Tuesday and Wednesday and snow in the trees on the lower Edge was a dream.

Nothing but rain here at Whiteface Saturday, and a little drizzle this morning with blustery winds. Heard the gondola was on wind hold. Some snow flurries amounting to nothing this afternoon. If it’s not too windy tomorrow I will see how bad the boiler plate is! Come on Mother Nature...take your Prozac! We need snow!

This winter sucks, so far. When we skied in November, I though maybe, finally, this year, we'd get break out of the teens and get 20 days in before the season ended. Now it feels like we'll be lucky to ski around here again at all. Glad I made our plane reservations for Taos and Denver or I’d really be in a funk.

Where are you Jenny? Michigan? I grew up in Metro Detroit.

Yep, other side of the state though, near Grand Rapids.

So sad.
I hope they are right about maybe some snow towards the end of the week.

Wow! We left Utah yesterday. Predictions were for several feet of snow in the mountains. We're in Glenwood Springs and the snow is hammering. Will probably ski Snowmass tomorrow.
Saturday was fantastic at Cannon as well. The upper mountain was on wind hold all day, but everything that was open on the lower mountain was a ton of fun! No rain until after the lifts closed.
It was so good we were even planning to brave the rain on Sunday, but the winds and temps were more than the mountain could handle, and they didn't even open on Sunday...

We were lucky with the wind, there was some but it was mild enough not to affect lift operations. It was also a strangely warm wind, which is so unusual to feel skiing down.. much nicer than cold wind haha! And now the race to recover is on! I found it amusing that it was almost 70 degrees at home in MA yesterday and yet my drive into Cambridge this morning was in the 30s and there were some little snow flurries happening. What crazy weather!

A lot of time. They lost A LOT of snowpack over the weekend. The consistent rain seemed to have missed the mountain, but the dense fog really killed the snowpack. Entire left side of Sunset (from North Peak) is down to grass. We spent the afternoon dodging dirt patches all day yesterday. I started a thread for conditions at Loon - I'll go update it.

I want to whine as well, although being in Europe.....
This winter is the first in my 42 years (I've checked the statistics) where we haven't had one frosty day yet (and of course, no snow). Actually, the temperature is 45 degrees at the moment, and no sign of it going much lower in a near future.
We're not a "snow-country" in that sense, but we usually have some snow and frost from november till march. And the worst part is, that our go-to destination in Sweden isn't much better, weather-wise. A bit colder since it's more north, but not enough to make snow.
This requires 3 or more frosty days in a row and since december there has only been a few nights where it hit the frost mark for a few hours and then back up again.
Of course we can go further north, but I have a limit saying not more than 8 hours by car. This should not be necessary in the winter!
Current weather at the ski resort - I fear that this could actually be the first season the don't open for skiing (the have mountainbiking in the summer and has actually re-opened for bike-renting last week......:
