I'm sitting here patiently waiting for the eastern PA weather to get consistently cold and I browsed over the revised accuweather winter forcast...it wasn't encouraging...

"The AccuWeather.com long-range center continues to drive home the point that a very warm winter is on the way for much of the nation, especially east of the Rockies"
"warmer temperatures dominating what is climatologically the coldest part of the season."

And the most disturbing sentence:
"Unlike last winter, when the AccuWeather.com forecast indicated that the warmth of December and early January would turn on a dime, when the warmth returns this December it may last all of the way through February."

I hope they are wrong. The forcast for me is 40's and 50's for the near future, which means my hill wont be opening. Today it was flippin 60 degrees.

Well i live in Ohio and we had a high of like 65 yesterday.... But i was talking to my enviromental science teacher and he said he doesnt really beleive in those long range weatehr forcasts. He thinks it may be warm at first but it will end up being cold again, its been like that since he has lived in Cincinnati (55 years). But if it doest stay warm the entire winter, we have more critcal problems to worry about then skiing.

but look at it this way many ski resorts on the east have opened way earlier this year. I know my home mountain attitash opened nearly a month earlier this season so as of now, I can't complain

this is somewhat off topic but i'm a little worried that other resorts will start following RCRs example and remove their jumps. i sure hope not

Actually Baker is totally melted. There's no snow here, we hiked the other day and we were jibbing rocks all day. There's absolutely nothing good worth coming here for for you non-locals.
