While the northeastern US obviously has too much snow (nobody posting here, why not?), some skiing areas in my region had to close again yesterday. Those below 2,100 feet of altitude without artificial snow production had no chance to keep it open with wet, melting snow, and, what's worse, all models predict mild temperatures for the rest of February. So after the total loss of last winter, some areas will have had just 10 days of operation this winter.
