Bad News it doesn't look like WF will open on Black Friday from a weather stand point :cry:

Accuweather is calling for temps in the 20's in the day and teens at night from the 25th on so hopefully it happens.

This weather forecast has several good points.

1. Cold at night. Whiteface should be blowing hard all night.

2. This forecast gives the temperatures for Wilmington Town. Should be chillier up on the mountain leading to longer blowing times. Are there any sites that will give base, mid, and summit forecast temps for whiteface?

I looked around and had no luck it would be helpful if there was a site for that.

General rule of 3 degrees per 1000 feet, all else being equal (no inversion for example) works well as a ballpark.

the new webcam is quite active right now. I'm in line to check out upper valley now too:)

[nyspnypd]

It is snowing from the webcam it looks like the guns are going up to the mid station the gun on lower valley right in front of the mid station wasn't going. Hopefully they get the guns on the lower mt. soon. I am just excited it is snowing :D

I couldn't see anything but black.

Regardless, if HPD says it's all good then that's money in the bank.

Thanks for the reports, I REALLY needed that!!!

I couldn't see anything but black.

I couldn't see much and in the screen capture is hard to see anything... but in motion it did look like a runnin gun, or a massive dump.

Either way right is ok right:
