Waiting for mo sno, later this week, maybe

Sunshine and more sunshine, at least through Tuesday, is the call, as our
knees grow calloused from all of our praying for snow. But the snow gods
seem preoccupied, worried about things other than the 26-inch base on Aspen
Mountain and the grass poking through on Slalom Hill. Heard that dedicated
snow searchers did fine in the Northwoods on Sunday and that there are still
good pockets of skiing for those in the know. But there are also tales of
gravely transition areas as the cold air and sunshine do their eternal work
on the snowpack. Wednesday could bring a 40 percent chance of snow and
Wednesday night and Thursday a 50 percent chance of snow. So, say on your
knees and prostrate yourself to the god of flakes...
