Itstrainingtime

To the tune of "The Candyman": Who can bring the rainfall? Sprinkle it with winds? Cover it with warmth until it feels like spring, The Canderson can, The Canderson can The Canderson can cause he mixes those things to make it feel like spring...

Someone posted this from their home this morning in Mammoth Lakes - new Blizzard moves in around noon today with 3-4' of additional snowfall by tomorrow:

Probably spot on with that assessment.

I just checked with Elliott - he's calling for a chance of an isolated shower. He also added this: As meteorological winter comes to a close, here are some astounding climatological stats from @millersvilleu. For the 2nd time in 4 years, no measurable snow fell at MU in Feb. Both #january2023 and #February2023 will be the 2nd-warmest on record but #1, in aggregate.

Hmm. Tomorrow night has NOT been on my radar - CTP has me at a 20% chance of a scattered shower.

You knew who else is one of the head snow hounds? Ji. He's really...optimistic.

Friday's storm - I'm a kid sitting in the back of the family sedan in the early 70s uninhibited with no seat belt. Next week's opportunity - fast forward to today when I'm in the car with the buckle is latched and I'm fully secured.

36 with drizzle - .62" of rain has fallen.

Wishing you all the best.

Rain and 34. Just reached a half inch.

Heavy mixed precip - guessing it's about a 75/25 rain/sleet mix. Temp is 34.1

Heavy snow/sleet/rain mix earlier- vehicles solidly covered and even some slush on the driveway.

I'll don my cape if it happens!

(clears throat) At least I'm not alone!

MU short term: Showers are currently overspreading south-central PA, and a few sleet pellets may mix in at times. There may be a lull in the activity from 4-6 PM before steadier precip arrives this evening. I expect a general 0.3-0.6” of beneficial rain to fall by daybreak Tuesday.

He is very bullish on mid March.

My train crossed the continental divide in 11 weeks. (and that's for real)

Sounds like it's me against the thread - what could go wrong for me? LOL Snow's comin'!

That's been my window - I never liked this upcoming weekend. Pattern looks to ruffle and shuffle to a more favorable look that finally combats the SER...I guess it's easy to think what's been happening will continue to persist but I can't shake my feeling that it's going to get favorable for us in the middle of March.

Yep...

It's amazing - I don't know what they're going to do with all of the snow in town. They've been trucking it out for weeks as the town is clogged, and that was before 10 feet of new snow that they're in the middle of receiving now. There is already over 50 inches of water content in the snowpack on the mountain. (base is 200-268" and growing) Think about that. Hopefully the Sierra has a slow melt later this spring or it's going to get ugly in the valleys.

Welcome back friend! Completely agree about the weekend though I might be even more bearish than you. Mammoth is under a Blizzard Warning. 5 feet of new snow, 4-5 feet more expected by Wednesday. In town they'll be over 500" and well over 600" on the hill. Did we pick a great year to head west! They expect to be skiing into August now.

I was scratching my leg a few days ago and it dawned on me after the fact that it was mosquito bite. On like February 21st. Ridiculous.

It really is. Next few weeks could be a lot of fun. You got your seatbelt ready to latch?

Would you say that this time frame is a little early in the pattern? I was thinking the following week or two might be a better chance as the pattern starts to break down. Next weekend still seems precarious to me as it will take perfect timing to avoid either suppression or a cutter.
