C5 Golfer Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I am so tired of this June winter... We are expecting 1 foot of snow or more today in WA state. and this is Jun 9th! Wish the ski resorts would open again since Golf and Bike riding and Hiking sucks right now. This Global Warming stuff is a bunch of crap -- we almost had frost the other night. This 40° F weather is a little cold this time of year and needing snow tires and or chains to go over the pass in June. :barf: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I wish I had your problems... Our golf course is soaking wet. It's normally pretty wet, even on the dry days, so now it's like treking through a swamp. Oh, what I wouldn't do to go snowboarding right now...

Mike T Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I'm just pissed that Mt. Bachelor has been closed for 3 weeks. They storms have missed to the north, but the snow would be just fine right now with regular grooming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allee Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 The weather in Calgary sucks. It's rain, rain and more rain. And it's not supposed to stop until this weekend, when apparently the sun might come out. No camping again for the fourth week in a row - it will be a swamp. I had to cancel my mountain bike ride in Kananaskis last weekend because it was snowing! It's cold too. It went down to 3degC last night, and I had to turn the damn heaters back on. Come on already, it's June!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 We are flirting with the biggest flood since 1964 here. more snow in the mountains down to 4000 ft. and raining like the great flood here now. the rivers are just under flood stage and have been for six weeks. a serious warm snap now would float us for sure.

queequeg Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I just drenched myself, biking home from Times Square to Queens in our humid 97 degree Manhattan heat. Actually, it was awesome but I'd sure like to be in the PNW right now riding on Mt.Hood as often as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I just heard on the radio this morning that vail is planning on opening again for another couple of days. Said they still have up to 3 feet on the upper mountain. Anyway, I forget the details, but it was something like 7 runs and a couple lifts, or maybe it was 7 lifts.. I don't know, I took a nap in between now and then so I forgot most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr D Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 This is a full on winter storm. It is snowing hard and is sticking:eek: probably an inch on unfrozen ground. This Global warming is really something :rolleyes: I heard 2 inches in missoula already. Its supposed to snow at least two feet on the mountain today getting worse as the day goes on. I am at 3200 feet and the snowline was predicted above 4500 or so.:D Welcome to montana:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utahcarver Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 It's supposed to snow above 9000' late tonight here in northern Utah. Last Friday, Snowbird picked up 10" new snow. AAAANNNNNDDDD, it's supposed to be 88 (f) by Friday. Making a trip to Snowbird next weekend for sure. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoffV Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 90 degrees in New England and a foot in the cascades?

BlueB Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Rined like crazy in Van yesterday. Frazer River is really high. However, today, with beter visibility just East of the city, I can see fresh snow in the hills. Radio reported snow line just above 1500ft. It's really cold, like 7C, I started heating in the house again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike T Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Bachelor wasn't supposed to get any snow - but check this out: This is from a few minutes ago. This morning, there was a lot of brown in the immediate area of the turnstiles. I'd have to guess that the base depth away from the base area, where they plow it down to make sure the lodge stairs stay above the snow, is about 6 or 7 feet.

Dr D Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 IT has been snowing steady and hard since 7am this morning. It is now 4pm Even with the snow year we had it never snowed more than a couple hours down at this elevation. The summer folk and my tomatoes are pissed but it sure is fun to see:eplus2: over 8 inches already above 4000 ft in some areas. Somebody call Al Gore and have him explain this cause I am confused:eplus2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know we're opening next week for bicycling, tho? anwyays, back to the topic, you know, its been awfully cold up here when I work on the mountains (32 degrees to 40 degrees). Today.... ahh, FINALLY, summer has arrived. I was told it was 35 degrees up there, yesterday on my day off. Jeez. ENOUGH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave ESPI Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Bastards ! Cooking at the Country Club, Sweating my ass off in 131 degree kitchen and Jonsing for snow......... Guess I just have to sit and watch you guys enjoy it... But I'm out on the jetski, so its all good. Will be railing on the wake board soon too.... My shoulder is at full strength again (a year later), and I definately need to go out and try throwing some air under my feet again... Hopefully flips will hurt a lot less on the water when you land upside down. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebu Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 My bad, Aspen, not vail. What can I say, I'm only from Michigan and don't get out west to go boardin much. I'm probably gonna be tubing (down a river with a beer in my hand, not behind a boat) the weekend after this one. And then again for sure the weekend after that.
