-5 yesterday, 15 today, 30 tomorrow, and 47 Monday with rain is the forecast.

That's an insane difference for 4 days.

High today in central PA was 40. High tomorrow is suppose to be 8..... Sadly my parents are moving from NC to Colorado in a few months so this my last winter to run and visit them for half decent weather.

29f / -2c here in Auburn, AL and the humidity is 62%.

My passenger door on my truck was froze shut yesterday morning.

idk what any of this means, but I know when I step outside I don't like it at all.

That's not too bad...the mountain I instruct at is only 1500' higher than Sugarloaf. But its one of the shorter mountains in our area.

Never been to sugarloaf in the winter, obviously not a fan of winter outdoor. it's great in the summer though!

Well, its -15F here with wind chills pushing -50F when the wind gusts, and its all about covering up. Winter coats, ski hats, mittens or gloves, and a scarf, facemask, or your coat collars pulled up high around your face. If you are going to be outside more than a minute or two you end up dressed like Khan on Ceti Alpha V.

Very pretty. I guess I should have specified the East in general as apparently I picked on the one place with a few mountains =)

Regardless, you are going to lose in an argument saying the eastern side of the states has bigger mountains and better riding than the west. That was my point.


Nice shot of McKinley

Hele-skiing Alaska is on my to do list in the next 5 years.

I didn't think that was the argument anyone was having. The argument was that we have "no mountains to enjoy all that winter". That's very much false, skiing is huge in parts of NH/VT and even maine on the Green/white mountains.

I didn't provide a picture of McKinley btw, those are all of Washington/the presidential range in NH.

An interesting side conversation is discussing how "big" mountains are. Of course the mountains on the east have a typically lower elevation than those of the rockies due to the east being closer to sea level (also a fascinating topic if you're ever interested in figuring out exactly how that is determined) however Mt. Washington's Prominance is still the 59th highest in the US, and sans Hawaii/Alaska it is the 25th most prominent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._United_States

That said, on a global scale McKinley is the only one that is really significant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._by_prominence

Hurray for both winter and mountains, a few of my favorite things!

Edit: Added US Prominance ranking for only the continental US because I got curious and thought you may be too [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
