[mookie]

indeed.. it's almost 40 degrees at the summit of mt. washington this morning.

that was the deciding factor.. what was going to come out of this storm today. doesn't look pretty.

well at least you can just go skiing/snowboarding.
oh no, wait. looks like we cant.

..........time to move to Mongolia

..........time to move to Mongolia

or just time to take a trip out west.......probably less expensive.

 

[leaf]

but way less interesting than mongolia!

i searched flights from boston to mongolia on travelocity and it gave me fares to las vegas. huh.

thanks for link, skiguy

seriously, this winter better go into june to make up for this lame start.

I like to be the positivist...Going forward this event could be good for the Ice as it certainly will have things drooling again...and if and only if we can get back to some consistent night time COLD! I would certainly be hesitant to climb until things do firm up again. I have personally had more than one experience with being to eager and getting into a pressure daming situation...not to mention dinner platesThen again it might be a good time to go practice some dry tooling!

yea... I am getting the itch to get out there and swing and kick... kind of not feeling the hikin thing lately to be honest...

hard part is controlling the urge when you look for that possible opp...but deep down, you know its not to be... sounds like there is potential for a nice lock up, but hard to say what gets toasted today.. are we starting from scratch again..or did some of the snowfields survive??...and if they did, maybe by sat/sun, they are in nice shape for some snow/ice climbing...

but deep down - I know this isn't the case....

It is starting slow. But then again it still is only Dec 3. I'm not sweating it, it'll get here.

The beauty of being a generalist. When it snows, ski. When it rains, run/mtb/hike/catch a movie. When its cold, ice climb. Sunny, take your pick.
Plenty of options right now.

This morning's picture of the ravines http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/cam/ravines/ravines.jpg (Fri, Dec 02 10:45 2009) shows nice white gullies with bare rock in between. Might be some ice in there...

I don't know if these webcam pictures are archived anywhere, so I guess you will have to look soon if you want to see them yourself.

thanks dougpaul - yep, i checked them this morning and indeed there's some snow. going to bag the ice idea in tucks (even though there seems to be some, but doubt it's climbable) and do a snow climb in huntingtons. yale and diagonal look good from a distance. and i'm bringing rock pro also.

they should move the camera over so you can see all of tucks. wtf.

The rain and freeze probably hardened the snow a good bit, so it might at least be icy snow...

Yeah--looks to me like someone bumped and tilted the camera.

It looks like better views into Tucks and Hunts may be available, but you have to be a member of the Mt Wash Observatory to see them. http://www.mountwashington.org/weather/cam/ravines/
