Itstrainingtime

I've been following Mammoth's weather almost daily since my visit a few years ago. They desperately needed this storm, it hasn't snowed of much significance since right around New Year's. That's the thing about out there though - all it takes is a good week or so and they can pile it quickly. Despite the weeks without snow, this storm will put them over 200" for the season. Far short of normal but it's a start. They need to build up the water table now, otherwise fire season later this year might be grim.

I was! I have meetings all week on 2nd shift and drove home in the snow last night at 11pm. I measured .1" here at home at 1:30am. When I left work there was already more than that on top of Turkey Hill. Oh, I received .34" of QPF.

Yeah, sort of lost over the past several weeks of bitter cold and snow cover has been the real lack of precip. We really need things to turn around soon or we're going to have issues.

I was thinking the same thing; however, most of the models that were showing snow had it falling largely to our east, and that's what's happened so far.

Philly thread is full of posters currently reporting snow all the way to the Delaware River.

First sprinkles here at work. Temp is 42.6 to be precise.

Yes, that's been my fear. Last couple of days I thought the writing was on the wall.

Not overly surprising in a progressive flow.

52.2 here. Feels like 65. As much as I love cold weather, today is a stellar day.

My apologies! I intended to like your post and just realized that I did not. Sorry about that!!!

Today your first day this week without one?

It's actually 2/10s of a mile south of me.

Tight rope is a good term for this. Very much so. Or the proverbial thread the needle.

Absolutely! And that's why I am hopeful if not a bit skeptical. We can pull this off for sure. We just need a little more than we have needed for a while.

I'm sure I'll be frowned upon. We don't have a good air mass. It's not like a March day when it's 55 but there's a NW wind cranking a fresh supply of colder air. What we have is stale. We can make stale work and night will help some but we need dynamics. GFS was a red flag to me. Less QPF is not our friend right now.
