Last night's rain had to be the biggest rainfall since probably August or July. It rained a whole lot, heavy, and all night long. The temp is 48. Cannot see the High Country snow-making area, up on top, due to heavy clouds, plus the rain continues to fall but not so heavy now.

Will Watervlle Valley skiing open tomorrow, Dec 4, as announced, or will it get moved back again? As always, only time will tell?

The ground up at 3000' to 4000' elevation may not be frozen, or this rain could have thawed it out. Probably, the ground has to be frozen first for skiable snow to be groomed and skied.

The WV snow phone 603-236-4144 still says that opening day will be November 21 so draw your own conclusion?
