    Average high in Austin is now 73. However, I am still up for and I am definitely ALL IN for BIG crippling Sierra snows!

    I NEVER get enough. Not even in a killer ice age.

    Like James Bond said, The World Is Not Enough. Hoth is a fictional world but if it were real, Hoth would not be enough. I NEVER ever get enough snow, ice and vodka Siberian COLD and 190 mph Sierran wind gusts blowing that snow right off the lodge roof! And savoring all the ski patrol crews getting completely punked out from digging snow!

    I love that you love seeing it dump in the Sierras. I'm going to Tahoe the first week of May for work and plan to spend a day or two spring skiing at Palisades... looks like they'll be running well into late May at least! I've never been out there so really looking forward to it. Unbelievable

    Speakin of Tahoe and Mammoth, they are getting 5 to 7 FEET of fresh snow Thursday thru at least Saturday!

    Repeat this after me:

    You Can NEVER, EVER get too much snow at Tahoe.

    We are snow enthusiasts. I want 35,000 feet of snow. I want an ice age. I want fifty feet of snow in a single delightful snowstorm with 100 mile an hour winds at 100 below zero. That is verbatim what I used to say in high school circa 1980. Thats one of the reasons I got kicked out the school system: Too fvckin CRAZY. School system threw a kegger once they threw me out and my dad cried. He was so damned embarrassed. I just would NOT shut the hell up about how much I loved the snow, absolfuckinglutely adored people slipping on the ice, loved 2000 mile backups on I 95 and total humanitarian crises! I just get crazier and crazier about extreme weather, be it meters and meters of snow in record cold and ice so deep people can't even get out of their houses! Or super hurricanes with 260mph sustained winds and storm surges that will cover the 6th floor of buildings with horrific waves that I then get to savor on youtube because of courageous storm chasers.

    THERE IS NEVER TOO MUCH SNOW. EVEN IN THE DONNER PARTY. EVEN IN THE ANDES IN 1972 WHEN YOUR PLANE CRASHES. EVEN DESCENDING FROM THE EVEREST SUMMIT IN MAY 1996 IN BLINDING SNOW, -85 WINDCHILLS, INSUFFICIENT OXYGEN, SHERPAS ARE EXHAUSTED, WITH PROFESSIONAL CLIMBERS TUMBLING OFF THE HILLARY STEP ONTO SHARP ROCKS THOUSANDS OF FEET BELOW.

    Even if we were getting an ice age tomorrow. Even if it killed 8 billion people. There can never be too much snow. For those who think there can be too much snow, the shiny new fiery base state will take good care of you. Because Global Warming is real. Runaway greenhouse warming is real - and already underway. We hit 81/68 today in Texas. Its February. Leaves are coming out. The lawn is already 18 inches tall in places and I have to use a push mower.

    I am still crazy Ivan about snow and nearly 60 years old. I wub Alta, because they have this thing called Interlodge. I worship it. Long live the heavy snow at Tahoe. May there always be way too much snow at Tahoe, and ski patrol falls over from too damn much avalanche mitigation. Maybe the ski patrol gets avalanched, because of excessive amounts of snow lmfao! May five hundred record atmospheric rivers obliterate the Sierra with so much snow, they cant even find the ski resorts! May there always be extremely heavy wet snow at Tahoe, dozens of feet of it, and the ski patrol gets to get totally punked out because they have to dig their ski patrol shacks out of so much extremely heavy wet snow, that falls on them again and again and again and again! And the TOURISTA gets to struggle in the heavy wet Sierra Cement, and I get to savor it on YouTube on my beloved 5G tablet! Yeah. I'm a very very extremely sick puppy. YouTube publishers get rich from sickos like myself watching those vids many thousands of times. Isn't this an incredible world? 5G is out and I can watch this stuff EVERYWHERE NOW!!!!!!!!!!! Especially Mammoth getting obliterated by possibly seven or eight feet of snow this weekend!

    I may have an opportunity to go to Tahoe in early May for a work meeting and am thinking I'll see how the skiing is at Palisades. I think they stay open through freaking July! Just unreal

    While winter in northern parts of the forum has been decent, it has sucked pretty royally in central VA (I'm in CHO). What is most depressing is the lack of confidence the models and weekly products produced this winter, and how gun-shy it has made all of us. Tough to believe the tools we have until things line up right with correlation. Oh well, there's always beer to drink.

    You are the only poster who gives a crap about these stupid, worthless maps. Please just stop 

    I personally like Weather Will's contributions, including these crazy maps. Have some Christmas cheer, man....or at least have another spiked egg nog. Merry Christmas everyone! May we all be blessed with massive snows soon.

    Damn it! I missed happy hour earlier in here. How’s our 1” flizzard looking for PSU next week? Honestly that’s all that matters right? Winter depends on it!! Well that AND the state of the SBFI index (Scraff Beer Fridge Index). I’ve heard the more beer in the fridge = more snow and Jebwalks.IMG_8309.thumb.jpeg.7478a1f61ccfbd5261caf2c52823f710.jpegI dunno. Seems legit. Don’t judge. I’m gonna roll wit dat shit. LOL  :drunk:

    Had a conference in Denver this week, so had to try out Western skiing at least once in my life. Copper Mountain with 8" of fresh snow. Unbelievable. Had to travel like a mofo just to see some snow this winter.

    Well I can't speak for everybody, but...one reason it may start a back and forth is because we are already suffering in a crappy pattern--that’s the here and now reality. So now here comes someone not just occasionally, but EVERY day every post remind us it's not just crappy now but will be crappy in the future. I don't dispute your stats and I don't have THAT many arguments...but again we are suffering here, and the EVERYDAY reminder of a potential crappy future ain't helping the vibe in here like at all.

    Understand your point of view, but we shouldn't just burry our heads in the sand and pretend everything will be roses. I see both sides and it should be okay to talk about issues with fundamental base state as well as provide optimism when warranted.
