I'd put in a couple mile Jebwakk in that. I'd probably even do a night nighttime Jebwalk in that. During LES on the Tug the wind is ripping along the edges of the snowband, whipping up vertices of blinding ground blizzards across the Tug. It looks like they are dancing along the edge of the storm. The arctic blue sky is right overhead, contrasting against a wall of black, to an almost a brownish colored, fast moving clouds. Once the band starts to slide over you the blue sky disappears and the wind whipped snowflakes start to appear. The intensity doubles with every wind gust until your jaw drops in amazement at the extreme display of mother nature. Suddenly you're in the heart of the beast. It goes completely calm. The intensity of the snow takes over all of your senses. The faint sound of a bird chirping in an world dominated by the snowflakes is surreal.

I know It's been awesome. It's been back to our regular humid, mild, couldy weather, but with a snowpack acting like it's susposed to be here until flowers come up.

I'm starting to think this glacier in my backyard could be an issue this summer. It's been through a beating of snow eating fog, rain, nuking sun angle and still holding strong.

I'm already warning my buddy in SNJ that I'm coming up with my shovel and a good attitude

Yeah. I agree but lately it's getting bad. I'll just block the trolls.

I wish mods would nuke these troll accounts.

I was just thinking that exact thought. This might be a legit threat.

Yup! I can buy a 3 bedroom house on 100 acres of land for 200k lol

I know the Tahoe area gets some beast storms, Jebman. Do you know where the heaviest hourly rates on earth are recorded? There's a little town on the Tug called Copenhagen. It's on the upper Tug near Montague where I'm moving. They recorded an hourly snowfall rate of 12" per hour. When i was there in early January I experienced 6-8" per hour rates several times for extended periods of time. You can come stay with me for free.

Same here wtf lol

I've always found it odd how models don't seem to understand climo. They always produce these rare events beyond day 3. I've probably had 100" of digital snow in the past 6 weeks. Odd for a place that averages like 10" a year lol.

I can't believe the staying power of this pack. The rain hardly put a dent in the shaded areas.

Radar looks better then my forecast of .50. I'd estimate I've already gotten .20 and radar is stacked.

Where are these trolls coming from? What's funny about our entire Chesapeake Bay watershed being destroyed? The word poop, maybe. I guess poop is funny when your super low IQ and don't understand anything beyond the funny word, poop.

Yup. It's one of the highest points. I like that spot when there's not enough time to be climbing the peaks around Cunningham Falls. You can park and take a short hike to Salamander Rock. There's a cool old historic building up there. I caught a couple elevation events up there over the past couple of years. I was hoping to get up there today but it doesn't look like it's going to make much difference.

Welp. Not sure headed to Salamander Rock is going to help today. Even our local mountains can't even score. 10 years ago it would of been 31 and snow up there. Now 33 and rain lol

All I care about is that little jack over the Catoctins. That seems to keep showing up on models. Hopefully the peaks can catch a little event. Snowy high elevation forest are always fun!

Never! Lol I'm on my third great winter (for my climo) No complaints here. I've had a blast this winter.

I know everyone here loves snow and if you're like me, you wonder what super snowy places are like in person. I've been mentioning the Tug Hill a lot lately and probably annoying to some lol. While we wait on a cool down i figure I'll share some pics from my 2026 Tug Hill vacation/chase. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to hike at night on a snowmobile trail, on 6' of snow, on the Tug during a full moon? I took this picture at 1am. I was standing on at least 5 feet of packed snow. Earlier that day we received 30" of fresh. The groomers keep the trails perfect.

I'm moving to a place that will benefit from a couple degree warmer climo. Warmer lake, bigger snows. You'll have to come up. We'll sit outside in the snow and discuss the shitty climo down here lol

I went outside expecting spring birds chirping and mild south wind. Nope. Thankfully still winter lol

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.

You're hearing the truth! I'm definitely looking for a property with a guest house or finished basement. Something like that. It's going to have huge flood lights for nighttime snow, snowmobile trails, snow removal toys, snowmobiles, wood stoves, and my snowman figurine collection on display lol. I'm definitely not settling for anything outside the climo jack zone on the upper Tug. Anyone who truly loves snow is welcome.

It's shocking how well they maintain every road, parking lot, ect. It's not like around here where we get snowed in. One day I was there It snowed from 7am to about 1pm. We got about 30" in that time period. By 1:30 the sun was out and roads were fine. The Airbnb was plowed several times. I drove down the Tug to the town of Pulaski and hit the cannabis dispensary and Arby's for lunch. I could of drove a Camry. I didn't even need to put my truck in 4×4.

It is a bright sunny one. It's colder than I expected this morning. It looks like I'll make 3 weeks without seeing the grass imby. Thanks! It's sounds like you have some great spots in mind. You might like Davis out in WV. It's not far but pretty wintery for a local spot. It's beautiful out there.
