Blanket of Clouds
So that is what they mean by a blanket of clouds. Clouds do act as a blanket and keep things warm underneath. That was no more evident than last night. Snowmakers were on call and waiting for temps to drop..............It never happened until about 5:45 am this morning. The clouds hung around all night and so did the warm temps. When the clouds broke at 5:30, the temps began to fall. In that hour of clear skies between 5:30 and 6:30 the temp went from 29 to 21 degrees. As a result, we got an hour of snowmaking instead of 10 hours of snowmaking.
The culprit was those darn clouds. It was even more evident just north of here where temps dropped as much as 25 degrees in a 3 hour period after the clouds lifted. When you are here all night making snow, the clouds often times are not a friend at all.

Well i'm deffinately glad you guys got to make some more snow....i'm pumped to come there wednesday on a early out to snowboard all night. About 52 of us or so are coming there for the whole day to just hit up the slopes and have a good time so i'm looking forward to it. I see you guys finally got a pretty good base now on the hills but it's always good no matter what it is. Just keep pumping that snow like none other and i'll keep throwing down some of my grabs
