in CNY in the next 15 days it looks like there will indeed only be about 3 days when they can blow any snow to speak of... but saying this winter blows already isnt exactly true, especially if you look back on the last 3 seasons. i can't tell you the last time we've had a majority of our ski area open (including the park) and even had a couple powder days before christmas. so i'm gonna have to disagree with that one, so far this season has definitely exceeded my expectations. and it isn't going to be anywhere near 50 around here anytime soon, i'm pretty happy with it so far.
