A Memorial Day weekend storm has dropped three feet of snow on a New York ski mountain near the Vermont border.
Whiteface Mountain spokesman Jon Lundin says 36 inches of white powder has blanketed the nearly 5,000-foot tall mountain in the Adirondacks. That has forced the Olympic Regional Development Authority to close Whiteface Veteran’s Memorial Highway on the backside of the mountain. …

Could you imagine how bad it would be if it weren’t for Global Warming! /sarc
Gosh, and I believed the scientists too !
The Sex Poodle effect.
Must be all the damned carbon dioxide.. or Dihyrogen Oxide..
All those damn white trash Vermont boarders had a hand in this!
Has anybody seen any research reports on the impact of increased open water in the Arctic on wind currents, Jet Streams and the like? I know that upper NY experiences very heavy “lake effect” snows. Is open water in the Arctic affecting size of snow falls for example?
It finally stopped snowing in Fairbanks last Sunday.
The lakes have mostly thawed.
The longest winter ever here.
Algore was gambling on the complete opposite to happen.
Imagine if we were in the middle of a few years of unseasonably HIGH temperatures...
My bum hurts just thinking about it.
I’m not familiar with this area at all. Are there towns there?
I only ask because I’m sure the trees have started leafing out and the additional weight of the snow could be devasting.
Well this should slow down Global Warming. :)
Nearest town is Wilmington NY. Elizabethtown is about 35 miles away. Burlington VT is about 65 miles away.
Thanks!
Lake Placid is 20 miles away by car. Lot less than that as the crow flies.
My cousin has lived in Lake Placid for about 35 years. Very nice town, the winter Olympics were held thee in 1980.
If you go you could stay at the Mirror Lake Inn. Gorgeous in the summertime as well.
My family used to take an annual vacation to Hemlock Hall at Blue Mountain lake about an hour to the south in the summer. My Mom and sister still make the trip.
In my opinion, one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
It is VERY nice up there and also across the lake at Burlington and the Green Mountains.
Extemely peaceful and beautiful.
I was sitting next to a Lufthansa pilot at some boondock bar in waitsfield, VT a few years back and he was telling me that he has been everywhere on the planet Earth but when it’s time for vacation he goes to the Green Mountains, the nicest place on the planet.
Well, as they say. “There’s no place like home!” : )
But I can assure you, for me, it beats the snakes at Reelfoot lake TN.
Dude, man it is like May 26th. Summer starts this weekend. You cannot have 3 feet of snow in New York and Ice Melting in the Arctic. The two are incompatible.
I was just checking out Reelfoot lake TN on Google Earth.
I really don’t know what to make of it...
Snakes you say?
.... Geez .... I dunno about you, but I'm getting a little worried ....... If the globe gets any warmer .... we might all freeze to death.
