  1. Yep was not expecting thunder with these lower temps. Not just this low rolling stuff, but a legit timpani. There's some decent lightning with this cell, too. And a downpour that wouldn't be out of place in August. EDIT: Just saw the p n' c from Sterling mentions "small hail."
  2. Damn, the Tahoe webcam is down. At least for me.
  3. Go to: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/wx/afos/list.phtml They've got AFDs archived even back to 2003. Pretty complete archives for 2016 and 2009-10. Just use the drop-down menus.
  4. You must have been inspired somewhat by the ongoing Sierra storm for this one! Here's an "off-the-reservation" AFD out of Reno this morning: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/TextProduct?product=afdrev They broke the "fourth wall" in some phrases for this edition. I'd think with something like you describe, the authorities would implement a curfew. Now there's an AFD that's be a keeper: "We'd urge people to stay inside during this weather emergency, but the authorities with their "shoot-on-sight" curfew have taken care of that one."
  5. Thx for that. The (in)famous Parrs' Ridge shows up real well on it.
  6. Snoweenitus is a perilous condition to have when you live inside the Beltway.
  7. Yah just like I get to basically be in Montgomery County.
  8. Liking the trend. I'm all in on the Tenleytown Massif reaching 5". And given the insomnia I've been having recently, I ought to be up for it. Watch tonight be the *one* night when I get continuous stage 3 sleep, though. So better stay up and drink so I'll be there, if not coherent, for the ETA.
  9. BIg fat flakes with the best rates so far and the wind is ticking up. Observable stickage ought to commence soon. It may be now but it's hard to see out of my rain-covered window. EDIT It is sticking on car windows and *some* grassy weenie areas.
  10. Flakes beginning to appear in up NW, but still mixy overall.
  11. Well we can dream of booking a room at the Lodgepole Lodge in Sequoia NP. 4-6 feet of snow with 75 mph wind gusts forecast above 5000 feet. I think the Lodge (I've stayed there before; Sequoia might be my favorite place I've ever been) is around 6000 feet. Of course it's probably closed, but this would be worth breaking in for. Overall, one heck of a storm for central and southern CA.
  12. Closest WU station to me got down to 15.
  13. One thing about this storm: the shoveling session to accumulation ratio is out of hand. I've had .. what 4.5 to 5" ... and I've shoveled three times. Third time just now and then just stood there and zenned out. Hell, even during the blizzard with its 25", I think I only shoveled three times. Of course during that one I must have jebwalked about 10-12 miles that Friday night and all day Saturday. Haven't done that this time. Walked around the block a couple of times. I think, at least with me, the physicality of challenging a heavy prolonged windy snow is part of the allure. King Lear in the snow, ranting about the gods, and all that. Something more sedate like today (and the other day, as well) and I don't have the need ... or desire ... to go all forced-march mode.
  14. And unlike many "legendary" things, it lives up to its hype!
