Well, it's that time of year again...DH racing in a state that receives more rainfall than the average South American rain forest...Thusly, I thought it appropriate that we get a handle on exactly what to expect this weekend...

Can't wait :)


Btw, I also love how all the major weather services (i.e. weather channel, wunderground, & intellicast) are calling for serious rain events pretty much all weekend, meanwhile the Snowshoe "forecast" listed on their website throws out an intentionally vague "partly cloudy with lows around 60* and highs around 80*"...I guess 'partly cloudy' covers a lot of ground :rofl:

Hehehe.."resort" weather is never bad.

Also if you look closely at Weather.com Snowshoe forecast it says "As reported from Elkins, WV." Elkin's is 50 miles to the north and in a valley, the weather there is nowhere close to Snowshoe's. Heck, I've seen three different kinds of weather just at different elevations of the mountain. The NOAA website offers the most accurate picture of the weather there.

You just have to add up the percentages.
If the weather says that Snowshoe has a 30% chance of rain on Friday, a 30% chance of rain on Saturday, and a 40% chance of rain on Sunday then it means that:
There is 100% chance that it is gonna monsoon on your azz all weekend. Giddy up.

It's been crazy dry here lately. Last week snowshoe was actually dusty.

If the weather holds, we're in for a mud-free race.
