The last time I was this fixated on the weather was before my first marathon, when I obsessively checked the race-day forecast in Nashville, hoping that by hitting “refresh” one more time, I would reach a screen announcing: “Weather will be optimal and performance-boosting for marathon runners, especially Amy.”
I’ve been doing the same thing with the weather forecast for Mercersburg, Penn., where below-freezing temps at night mean snow-makers can create more of a base for our little ski resort. Of course, the more snow they can make, the quicker Whitetail can open. And the quicker they open, the quicker I can get into the remainder of my ski-patrol training. And the quicker I can do that, the quicker you can stop listen to me blathering about it.
Tonight’s 36-degree forecast and tomorrow’s forecasted rain are kind of a kick in the pants … but doesn’t the snow look pretty in this webcam shot from this morning?

Hubz has also been talking about skiing lately, I’m gonna have to drag him up to Whitetail this year. Can’t wait til I can break out the snowshoes!
Let me know when you guys would like to come up! I’ll trade you a voucher for some snowshoe lessons!
WHAT?! Rain is in the forecast? We’re so geographically-challenged….
Oooh, I want to come too! Thom learned how to ski last winter…!
Pretty picture! I am scared to death of skiing. . .
I hope you are skiing soon!
