15 degrees early this morning.

You win.

3.8% is enough to melt all the snow on the ground.

HA! I am, I despise being in the the sun

That's great - same here, 5th grade! It's the storm that got me hooked.

Will be a struggle to get it up this far. But speed that southern vort a tad more, and things would look better.

Chuck: The CPC agrees with you. The PDO is a significant contributing issue to the pattern. They issued the latest 3 - 4 week outlook yesterday for Feb. 28 - Mar. 13. This predicts warmer than normal and drier than normal for eastern portions of our region with normal precip. for western portions.

We're one day short of a new moon on Sunday night (only 3.8% illuminated.) Let's see what you can do with that wise guy.

I think I have about 15-20 flakes that landed on my patio table this morning. I am not buying the GFS either considering it's track record this year. Doesn't look like the local mets are buying it as well. Still banking on the storms next week to hamper my travel plans. Fantasy land has March coming in like a lion.

The trend for over a year now since the drought pattern started has been for the models to show a lot of QPF at range only to drop it significantly as we get closer in time. The overall dryness since September, 2024 has been staggering, we’ve left the 2001-02 drought in the dust, it’s not even close

As we get into next week, if things keep trending colder, maybe "Hub" will do another thread, he is on a roll lately! 26F/light clouds

Why is there that amount of disparity amongst models in the year 2026 lol

Moon angle. The moon reflects the sun's light.

I still had snow otg from the 6” I got the weekend before, 1/17-18, so getting close to a full month here. It’s been a very picturesque wintery month. eta dogs and small children are still able to walk on top of the snow without falling in as well for the most part.

It happens at night lol

Ensembles show us getting a lot more active but until it happens the dryness will continue. I don't even care if it snows again, we just need precip asap.

Mount Snow was excellent yesterday! It looked and felt busy but most lifts were ski on. They got about 8” of new snow the previous couple days and it really helped conditions. Natural snow trails and woods skied very well. I managed a nice loop around the hill hitting both on map and off spots from all lifts until I had to jet to go get my youngest at school. Great day overall! I’ve been so busy lately I haven’t really been able to go anywhere else besides what I can access around here but I will say it’s been excellent. Hope we can get another storm or two in February and avoid any big warmups and or rain. .

Swwwwww lovely hiking weather. I'd love to be up there Tahoe for this entire week. Those accumulation look nice and slow. On the Tug they'd get all that snow in about 5 hours and then the sun would be out. Next day.. it's does it again lol.

Surprisingly made it down to 21.0. Just like every rainfall for the last 6 months, the expected amount has trended down all week. Hopefully, I can pull out a half inch of rain. We need it!

A similar experience for me as we must be around the same age, I was in 5th grade. We lived in Fishkill at the time and I wasn't sure it was ever going to reach up there, it finally did in the evening. Woke up to around 18" the next morning and thought it was the greatest thing ever. And I vividly remember getting the combo sun/wind burn while playing outside in the following days. I also remember getting a headache because it was so bright outside.

Outside of the 12k nam the mesos have zero interest in this event. Thats a red flag that leans against a snow event imho. Not sure i trust the globals at this range.

Doesn't look great rest-of-the-month. Hopefully, we can have one more forum-wide storm to track before spring. I'm enjoying the winter break for sure, but not ready to say goodbye entirely.

Because I’m not a vampire

Imagine being in a nice cabin in Tahoe this week. Dailylurker would hike in this Washington's Birthday Snow. High near 33. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Monday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 16. Southwest wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible. Tuesday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 26. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 9 to 13 inches possible. Tuesday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Cloudy, with a low around 12. Wednesday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 26.

Why?
