  1. You'll get it. Better than that, you'll get a couple. You'll be spendin all your time on the models then diggin deep snow.
  2. Merry Christmas to all ! The scene today at Mammoth and Tahoe is nothing short of Apocalyptic. https://www.mammothmountain.com/ https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam Do you THINK, for one frackin' moment, that Mammoth got a fooking WHITE CHRISTMAS this year? They have gotten completely destroyed by 51 inches of fresh snow in 36 hours. The instructors are going crazy. This is definitely one of those 'white-room' days. You gotta have a damn SNORKEL! That snow is deep as shoosh! Mammoth has been drastically altered. I'm LOST trying to figure out the place just from looking thru the webcams. Plow guy's in serious trouble today, because the snow ain't giving NO quarter. You know what the damn KICKER is? They are going to get 2-3 feet MOAR today! THE FRACKIN' RADAR IS A PACIFIC FIREHOSE. EXCEPT WHAT'S COMIN OUT THE BUSINESS END, IS PURE POWDER SNOW. AT 2 INCHES PER HOUR. FOR THE NEXT 24 HOURS AT LEAST. YOU DO THE MATH.
  3. There is a light that is usually three feet above the Woolly Lot asphalt. Tonight it is shining UNDER the deep snowpack! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam
  4. That wall around the Mammoth on the Woolly Cam parking lot, has now been engulfed by what is even now passing 36 to 42 inches of dry powdery snow and is now being sculpted by the wind into a long elongated drift straight out of The Day After Tomorrow! I can't even begin to imagine what this is gonna look like by 9am on Christmas Day, let alone by Friday after another 3-4 feet have piled on top of the already tremendous cryogenic snowmass that has accumulated on the Sierran Cordillera! Plow Guy is gonna have one hell of a huge Brobdingnagian mess to clean up! Better get one of those big Austrian rotary plows on the job! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam Mammoth is getting demolished by more torrential powdery dry snow dumps yet again!!! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge
  5. Wow man, Mammoth has picked up well over THREE FEET of fresh snow today! That wind is blowing that pow all over the damn place! Forecasts have another 3-4 feet piling up tomorrow! Man, that wind!!! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge
  6. This is CRRAZY folks! Mammoth just pulled out ALL the stops! Check out the front page of their Mammoth website! That Montage is insane, now! https://www.mammothmountain.com/
  7. That radar is just NUTS! They are gonna get annihilated all day at least! They've had at least 20 already! Village Level is a disaster lol! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/the-village The stairs on the mammoth at the Woolly Camera parking lot! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? Those RAILS are nearly covered up already! That's THREE FEET of snow! This is a Day for snorkels already! DAYUM! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam This shit is getting totally RIDICULOUS!
  8. Mammoth is being destroyed. Moderate to heavy snow is and has been hammering the resort all frackin' night long, especially the Main Lodge and Woolly areas. It looks like they have anywhere from 8 to possibly as much as 13 inches on the Main Lodge. They are plowing the Woolly Lot, where the recently fallen snow is DEEP! Incredible amounts of moisture are being transported up against the Sierra then lifted up where it is falling as very heavy snows! MUCH, MUCH more snow is in store as the new day dawns! Looks like the Sierran Cordillera will experience a White Christmas after all! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam Tahoe is getting murdered, too! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams Radar indicates they are about to REALLY get genocided badly by Brobdingnagian moisture elements. The next 6-9 hours will radically alter the way many of those resorts will look. I would not be surprised one bit if Mammoth piled on an additional couple of feet by 1 or 2 pm, on top of the 12 or so inches already in place. Damn I am so tired from workin all day then delivering all night. I gotta sleep and I WILL miss forever the cherished death band. Can't even follow my own damn advice! Plow guy in the Woolly Lot has sure got his work cut out for him! That snow ain't givin him NO quarter!
  9. The temperature just fell to 32 degrees at Mammoth! Its going to hit 25 degrees later; snow will simply pile up as prodigious amounts of Pacific moisture get advected into and over those 11,000 and 12,000 foot peaks! Moisture is simply training from south to north and the falling snow is dropping the temperatures steadily!
  10. Snow has begun!!! This is going to be a fairly major storm cycle, even by Sierran Cordilleran standards!!! Moderate snow just started at Mammoth and it is also snowin' and blowin HARD at Palisades! Palisades has about 6 inches on the ground from an earlier storm. Mammoth has about 6 to 10 inches still remaining at Main Lodge level, but things are gonnabe changin'!!!!!!!! Woolly Cam https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam Main Lodge https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge The SCOPE at 8,200 feet at Palisades https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams At least 4 to 5 feet are expected in the next 72 hours, possibly more! Some places to the west may get 6 to 8 feet; in Yosemite ten to twelve FEET of new snow are expected thru Friday night!! Models have been consistently printing out 7-10 inches of pure water associated with the two storms over the next 72 to 96 hours. We will go with 4 to 5 feet for now for Mammoth and Tahoe. But the totals could be much higher! Touristas are beginning to take jebwalks off the Woolly Cam parking lot! Some are all jacked up, running around like I used to do back in the Jan 1996 Blizzard!
  11. From the Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort webpage Snow, mainly after 10pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 25. Windy, with a southwest wind 30 to 35 mph, with gusts as high as 50 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 9 to 13 inches possible.
  12. Ravensrule I am happy for you but a little disappointed, too.
  13. Sleet is like having a hot sister.
  14. Turns out a couple of storms from midnight tonight through Friday night may dump upwards of 4 to 7 FEET of fresh snow all up and down the Sierra! We shall see.
  15. You're not gonna believe this. Buda's normal high/low is 59/42. It's 11.47pm Texas time. We have light south winds from the Gulf of Mexico. The temperature is 68 degrees, with a dewpoint of 66, it is quite humid out. I will definitely need to run my car A/C while running deliveries tonight. We are gonna have early May normals for Christmas, and maybe even for New Years'.
  16. Okay!!! Palisades did get very heavy snow last night and it did accumulate for them some, they look to have about 4-6 inches new snow on the ground! They may be about to get some more Tuesday!
  17. The quality of the snow at Tahoe may be improving slightly. Can't see the ground very well because of very heavy snow, lol. https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams I'm not saying it's piling up. It probably isn't. It's probably 37 degrees up there at 8200 feet. Pac puke is strong medicine. It is going to rule the Sierra all winter. But I am hoping so hard just for them. I want those guys to get lots of it because they so badly need to get that resort going big time. It costs tons of money just to keep a ski resort running, let alone hopefully turn a profit, and brown ground for Christmas won't help them.
  18. 1) Winter is not over in the Mid Atlantic. Pattern WILL reload, and ready those shovels, hoard foods, and IPAs. Dozens of them. 2) Weather eye out west. Prolly just rain, but some places might get clobbered yet beginning Tues. Precip gradations some maps at ski resorts like Mammoth, they are now actually running out of colors as some places north California now expected to get well over 20 INCHES of pure water, now thru Dec 26. If that ends up as snow, time to get out of there right now while you still can because they are gonna run out of food fast. It's probably going to end up some rain, but you've been warned. More like 18 inches pure rain, 2 inches water as 20 inches snow. But if that should turn out to be more like 4 inches pure rain/16 inches to pure snow, 160 inches snow maybe EVEN MORE especially if some ratios got in there..... uh oh *********************************************************************** For the Mid Atlantic, The Best Is Yet To Come.
  19. Torrential snow continues and has been pouring down at Palisades all night. It is pretty. But it is all for Naught. It is all melting on contact. Might as well be heavy rainfall. Western ski resorts are done after this winter, probably even before the winter is finished. La Nina is pushing record amounts of Pacific Puke across the mountain ranges along with very warm airflow, resulting in temps just mild enough for 'Mid Atlantic Classic Snow Futility' that ensures DC-like results, every time with every storm there this entire winter. Results: Slush on ground. Terrible to ski on. Tremendous lost revenue. Ski resorts must shut down; if anything it's because of insurance concerns. Just enough snow to tease everyone, but not enough to ski on safely, due to spicyness/dangerous obstacles like boulders, logs, smaller rocks, etc etc. Brown/Gray outright yucky depressional epically GRINCH Christmas and a horribly UNHAPPY UNPROFITABLE New Year for the western ski resorts as disgruntled customers begin shouting for refunds, even rioting. The UGLY specter of record million-year landslides/rockslides sweeping many right off roads on their way home from record rains on the mountains/hypersaturated soils/loosened rocks, trees, debris, etc etc.
  20. Nothing but BAD NEWS into early 2026 for Sierran ski resorts. I am very happy that I am not a ski resort owner this year. The weather in the West is so damned bizarre it's frightening, especially if you are financially invested in ski resorts in the Sierra. I have almost given up all hope. Even worse news, storms look to have torrential RAIN and extremely wet slushy snow at best thru New Years and beyond. Extreme winds will likely tear the precip apart. This is bizarre. They will probably end up shutting the winter part of the Palisades down for the 2025-2026 Season and running the resort kind of the way they run it in summer except it will be chilly. Like running gondolas and having bike races all winter, with deep mud and catastrophic landslides adding challenges. Maybe running parkour races in landslide debris. I don't think the Sierra will see even one good snowstorm with good skiable snow all winter, now. The weather systems are all screwed up. Just look at the thinning snowpack at Mammoth. It's really running thin over there, and with those conditions, they are having trouble replenishing those thin spots over time. The slush falling there now is only making worse what was already a very bad situation. All they will see is translucent slush. People will ski that crap, smash up spicy on low tide obstacles like boulders and shrubs get grievously injured then sue the ski industry right into bankruptcy. This is turning out to be a seriously bizarre winter in the West. Ok, to be honest, Palisades IS getting some snow but it is well above freezing. It will be translucent glop, useless on the slopes and its falling on bare ground, at temperatures about 38 degrees. Sound familiar, DC'ers? This stuff happens to western communities, too. At high elevations, around 9500 feet. Lucy is everywhere and she is getting deviously clever. Sometimes she doesn't yank the storm out from under you. You just have what amounts to intense snow tv, with plenty of accumulation, but the snowpack is gloppy and I don't think skiing on mashed potatoes-like snow is really all that much fun. Skiing on translucent glop and mushy potatoes snow is exhilarating. You should try this. Just stay alert. Try not to tear up your skis and your body on rocks, boulders, shrubs and ground irregularities as you slide down this messy gloppy snow slope lol. It's also kind of dirty. The ground underneath is very muddy and it kind of like gets all mixed up with the gloppy extremely wet snow. Ever since late last year, everything in America has gone straight downhill in every category. No exceptions. Poor people like me won't make it. Not a chance. Things are so bad now, that I know without a doubt, that I was far happier in 2020. I was better off in 2020 too. My personal health was also a lot better. America is now a fully ruined financial nation. Probably the only way to save it is CBDC.
  21. I just got the latest dope. Significant rain is expected to impact Palisades Ops. Tahoe is getting demolished by pacific puke, in the worst way. Mid Atlantic has a statistically better chance at accumulating snows right now, than does Palisades at 9500 feet.
  22. I have never heard of ever needing a special Jebman-issued STATE OF THE SNOWPACK report for a place such as Palisades Tahoe. STATE OF THE SNOWPACK Issued Sat 9.12am local PST 20 DEC 2025 It's true I am no veteran of the Tahoe Resort. But never in my born days have I ever seen the Infamy at Tahoe, at the 8200-foot Scope level, that I witnessed today. Several inches of near-clear SLUSH! I had to ask myself, is this the Mid Atlantic with Lucy doing her usual, or could it truly be Palisades Tahoe stuck in a super Interglacial? This, is FAR WORSE than the Ravens losing every game for five seasons, even with all of the best acquisitions they could ever get!! What did they get last night at Tahoe, white meteors? I have seen all their cameras which now work. Absolute Bedlam. Grass. Bushes. This looks like July at the Resort. Might as well have hikes and mountain bike races all "winter". I was horrified. There are a few places they tried so hard to develop something to ski on with artificial snow, but it has obviously been so damn mild right up to now, that the state of the non-existent snowpack is a Mean One, and Nature has been and is one hell of a ferocious Grinch! Christmas is five days away, and I am sorry to say Tahoe will have a Green Christmas! Or Brown. Anything but white. There is no Christmas miracle this year. Even Santa is staying away. The low tide obstacles would rip up his ski runners on his famed sled. Skiers don't know what to do! Some are so desperate for snow they are going to Antarctica! Hey, they got mountains! They got snow too. It's just a little bit colder than they are used to lol. The State of the Snowpack at Palisades Tahoe is something hellishly worse than horrible right now. Even the storms are rainy or sloppy slush snow. And the temps are bad, 35 degrees? At 8000 feet? There is no snowpack at Palisades. I don't even know why I try. I don't even know why I care. It's all for nought. I never ever even imagined in my worst nightmares, a fate such as this for poor Tahoe, a snowless wasteland that can't even hit 32 degrees at night with a megastorm with 14 inches of water, that's gonna all fall as pure water, for a week. The Palisades may all get washed away by New Years.
  23. Okay folks, this storm is gonnabe a slow starter for Mammoth. It's gonna drag on for days. I'll keep y'all posted. This is NO time to be traveling in the Sierra for Christmas. This is a BAD storm, will potentially turn portions of the Sierra into December-Buried for the entirety of the Holidays, with no one at all to rescue you.
