Let's just get the 6z gfs and call it a winter

1” flat here in bed stuy Brooklyn. 24.7” on the season

The Big California Blizzard of 2026 is taking its sweet time getting to the Sierran Resorts this morning but it's still on track. Light snow has started at Mammoth and steady driving snows are accumulating at Palisades Tahoe Resort farther north. The 8200 foot Scope at Tahoe shows high winds blowing a drift on the Scope Platform. As the day wears on temperatures will remain in the low 20s along with strong winds gusting to 60 mph, well over 100 mph at the ridges. Snow will continue and become very heavy with rates increasing to 2-3 inches per hour. Massive amounts of Pacific moisture will be hurled against the Cordillera and forced 11000 feet into the atmosphere resulting in torrential snows that will train for hours and hours and hours. Snow will rapidly pile up and strong 50 to 60 mph winds will blow the snow all over the place, at times resembling a milkshake froth with near zero forward visibility and serious whiteouts that will make it quite possible for travelers to get lost in and then easily freeze to death in very similar to Luke Skywalker on Hoth. Huge brobdingnagian cornices will form on numerous ridges greatly increasing avalanche dangers throughout the Sierras for the next 4 days. I expect both Tahoe and Mammoth will be shut down out of an abundance of caution probably by Tuesday as ridiculous snow rates continue to pile up. Radar shows a huge blob of yellow slamming hard directly against the Sierras. This blob is just undulating and constantly being resupplied by more moisture off the Pacific storm system. The entire region is in for a tremendously overwhelming amount of snow; some communities are forecast to see possibly as much as EIGHT FEET of new snow by early Friday. This is no time to be anywhere in the disaster region.

What about Wednesday and Friday? AI’s are colder for Wednesday

2 inches of new snow here. that is on the existing snow and car tops, pavement far less.

Coating of snow...epic

Anyone care to go swimming?

Warm pattern setting up for the 1st week of March.. strong ensemble signal for long range

Ended up with .5 inch of snow on grass, some on cars. Streets are just wet in Palmyra NJ.

Looks like a really great weather day.

Agree with Don's comment. My problem isn't the facts he is citing, its the things he is leaving out or not aware of. I agree that CO2 is critical for plant growth and that fossil fuel reserves are finite. However, you need to look at all of the effects of CO2 not just the beneficial ones. Crop yield is one of the most well studied areas of human activity. Its just as easy to perform a controlled experiment on temperature, water, seed variety, fertilizer, etc as CO2. There is also a large amount of real world data on crop yield. To say that we only understand CO2 impacts on agriculture and can't quantify non-CO2 impact indicates a lack of knowledge on his part. The same thing can be said about climate science in general, he doesn't seem aware of the large body scientific work on CO2. The beneficial and harmful impacts of CO2 are well known; as is the balance between harmful and beneficial. There is also the tone of the response. He has proved his points with "indisputable science" while my response is "predictable" or "fake climate crisis RELIGION". Doesn't make me look forward to future exchanges.

Close to an inch.

Oddly precip ended up not being an issue - many areas had nearly .25” rain Sunday. I clocked in at .14”.

So. I did more measurements... Backyard walkway: 2" My white GMC: 2.5" My neighbor's blue Ford: 2.25"

At leat the euro has some fantasy thunder

If I look closely I can see it snowed on the exposed grass in the yard that I shoveled from the January snowstorm. On to the next threat of snow.

Looks to be 1” to 1.5” new, will measure soon…

Whoa.. just saw the 6z! Looks like it loops around the cape.

I uncancelled winter

Maps?

Some wild GEFS members the next week

We can only hope.. GFS has a close miss the following weekend

My night shift truck partner sent me this. She was stuck sitting on PA309 over the Blue Mountain. The road was closed for some time due to a wreck and stuck trucks.
