It's 58/57 here in Buda with light rain. We have had nearly 3 inches the past 48 hours and are closing in on 10 inches of rain for the year. Might just be catching up to Dale City lol. Lawn is gonna go bonkers, but we got more water in the ground.

Don't look now but Mammoth and Palisades may be looking at another 18 inches of snow as another April snowstorm takes aim on the Sierra.

We are seeing rain today in Buda, only 56 degrees nice cool weather and more rain developing to the southwest and then hitting us, piling up and padding totals. I've seen 1.3 today, a half inch yesterday now up to nearly 9 inches on the year. Uh-oh I may be catching up to Northern Virginia rain totals lol.

Wow The Times, They Are A-Changin'!!!! The next three months are gonnabe very interesting! One day I might come back to N VA and the DMV, a hell of a lot YOUNGER, ready to jebwalk and dig immense amounts of snow again! There are a TON of people in West Virginia and in Dale City who know what I am talking about when I say I will be hitting lebs again and keeping records the same way I did in Dec 2010 at Charles Town! Some day, probably about 4 years from now, I'll be back. I'm 62 years old, and in all seriousness, I am probably likely less barely a quarter to a third of the way through my life. The times baby, they are really really changing in an incredibly big way for all of us!

The entire summer is probably gonna go full-on aggro.

Dale City hit 91 degrees today! You guys are 25 degrees above normal! Normal high is 66, normal low is 45.

Wow Dale City hit 88 degrees today? Your normal high temperature is 66 degrees!

This was an A winter in Buda. 1.5 inches of sleet and freezing rain and one high of 26 degrees, three nights lows near 15 degrees. It does not take much to have an A-grade winter in these parts because our average high/low in January is 59/41.

Our rain chances just evaporated. The forcing is going vroom vroom, straight to the northeast. Our next real chance will be sometime in Oct or Nov with the Super El Nino. Hopefully there will be a HUGE flood, and I will be right in the middle of it, literally. "This is Jebman, reporting to you LIVE from a tree with my tablet and other personal area net equipment, in the midst of what is likely shaping up to be one of the very worst historical floods here in Buda in late 2026. It is pouring rain, they say this Nino is the worst in history. I will keep you all up to date with the very latest on the Flood of 2026, as long as I can. The water is rising steadily - and this tree is massive but it is swaying! Rain rates are at times up to 4 inches per hour. I give my survival - One chance in Three. Stay Tuned!" Meanwhile in other news, Palisades Tahoe still has heavy snow, they STILL are piling it right up, likely well over two feet and counting! It's a firehose of moisture and it just keeps going and going and going, kind of like the Energizer Bunny! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=palisades Check out the Alpine Peak Cam! That snow must be over 30 inches deep by now and still comin down with a hell of a lot more to go! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=alpine

It's hard to comprehend why these Texas forecasters keep right on predicting 4 to 10 inches of rain for our region when by now it should be obvious that Houston will have torrential rain throughout the night into Monday and Austin and vicinity will have occasional sprinkles with maybe a wetting to perhaps a quarter inch of rain thru Monday night. I am no meteorologist but why do they keep on paying these Mets down here big money for crazy forecasts nearly a FOOT of rain, when Buda usually does not see that much in 10 months? I think the NWS down here may need to go back to weather school. I am getting warnings on my phone! I know damn well I'm not getting a half inch of rain through May 15! We are in a DROUGHT. Drop these ridiculous warnings for Austin and Hays County NOW! This might be a more reasonable forecast Here it is: Sunday night for the Austin Metropolitan Region including Buda, Sprinkles overnight, Wetting to quarter inch of rain at most. Monday, Mostly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of a passing shower, maybe one sixteenth of an inch of rain. Rest of the week partly cloudy, SE winds, highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, lows near 67. The southeasterlies will maintain low level humidity into the foreseeable future. Warn Houston, anyone can see they are in full flood stage and will stay there through Thursday at least! All the rain is training over them and will through Monday morning! Where do these Texan meteorologists come from? Oh wait, all the experts got fired by YOU KNOW WHO! OK Texan NWS, that is MUCH BETTER! I apologize, you guys are pretty smart after all! Probably a 195 Intelligence Quotient! .UPDATE... Issued at 902 PM CDT Sun Apr 12 2026 The Flood Watch previously in effect for portions of the I-35 corridor and Coastal Plains was cancelled at around 9 PM CDT. While the atmosphere should remain more moist than normal through the night over the former watch region, a lack of strong forcing and lowered confidence in the coverage of widespread heavy rain led to the cancellation of the watch. Regardless, a few isolated showers and storms may still produce some localized heavy downpours overnight, given the moist environment. This is a much better forecast. It's likely to be correct for the Austin area and surrounding cities and towns. Hey, THANKS, Texas NWS! You guys are pretty cool folks!

Check out Alpine Peak Cam at Palisades Tahoe!!! They got well over two feet of snow and it is STILL POURING HUGE AGGREGATES! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=alpine The 8200 foot Scope - They cleared that platform earlier today with a snow blower, well it has a 3 foot drift covering it! I think Palisades got 2 feet just today, not counting the 16 to 26 inches last night! Wow man this is an all-out atmospheric river for Palisades! Mammoth was too far south for the river. https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=palisades

Last night it was Dallas that got the floods. Today it was Houston that got all the rain. We're stuck in the middle with very little rain as the Drought of the Milennium roars on amid record emigration right into South Central Texas as millions of people suck up what little water is left. There's no hope at all for us and no hope for me. Soon, I'll be completely waterless and shit out of luck. In other news today Mammoth got another 8 inches of snow at least as the freshies keep on falling hard. This is a nice reset for Mammoth and for skiers. Those folks should have plenty of fresh water as well.

Mammoth is getting demolished by heavy wind driven snows right now! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam

Mammoth got 18 inches last night. They just got upgraded to a foot of new snow today!

This, is one of my more favorite Gen Z tracks,
