Well, it would probably double most people's snow climo, right... ? 

This has got to be the worst plan ever, destined to be the brobdingnagian FAIL of all-time! If you want more snow that bad, move to The Tug. Or Mammoth Ski Resort. Or Alaska.

And Back THE FUCK Away, from Charles Town Races and Slots. I don't give a shyte HOW BAD you crave snow.

Hands OFF my favorite casino destination resort!!

Man, this thread. My head is hurting.

(Nothing against you Ephesians2, only against the dumbass who dreamed up this stupid arctic waterway whatever.)

Lockdowns in El Paso from ground level to 17999 feet and also over parts of New Orleans, was cover for cartel pipeline takedowns. Cartel ground operations and UAVs were taken down HARD.

Are we not entertained?

Let's reel this one in. Hey, storms this time of year create their own cold air.

Ah well..if having a glacial snow with almost 3 weeks of arctic air that barely got out of the teens--is the high point of a la niña winter, that is not bad at all. This has actually been a lot of fun! And It seems our misses weren't logbook misses but the thing I protest the most about ninas: the pesky NS, lol But it was plenty of cold, that's for sure! 

For next winter...I do hope we can take advantage of this niño and get it in a workable position. If we want a big dog soon, we can't afford to waste the second Niño of this decade...we only average 2-3 per decade to begin with! And yes I'm unabashedly HECS hunting too--niños are always our best shot at those!

I'll tell ya what really got my goat. That monster 16 inch bomb cyclone that missed the DMV!

That was this sub's storm, not North Carolina's!

What I never even realized all these years, was that all I ever wanted, was for the entire DMV superregion, to get covered in solid ZR and or extreme sleet, to depths up to 9 inches, freeze in place, then get genocided severely by about 40 inches of wind driven pow at 8 degrees.

That would have made the entire world right, in my estimation. I would have been so elated!

This is how we know things are winding down here when we talk about the one off amazing situations.  The April snows…1993…the great St Paddy’s day blizzard of 1755…the white Easter of 1215 just after the Magna Carta signing Meanwhile people in Maine are like ok folks first quarter is over let’s do this.  

THIS lol.

Man everyone is TRULY bored...

As a meteorologist who does this shit professionally, we are all weirdos. No other set of people in their right mind will divulge into breakdowns of a computer simulation for an entity that is far more complex in the grand scheme than any of us can comprehend at lead times greater than 24 hrs, gnashing and gnawing of teeth when the algorithm's in place don't spit out a shade of blue. Weather enthusiasts are some of the more complex individuals in that we take immense amounts of gratification in cheering and lamenting on a physical construct we have absolutely no control over. If you have ever looked at a model run beyond 72 hrs to see what COULD happen in the world of weather and ran to comment on a message board....congratulations, you are a weirdo. I for one accept my weirdness and show it as a badge because weather is something all individuals have to contend with and it's fascinating to know how something so complex can yield such incredible results.

I could not have ever said this better. I waste so much time looking at models for snow in the DMV, and look where I live! Yeah, I am a weirdo's WEIRDO LMAO!

Nothing wrong with weirdos. Always told our kids they got the short straw with their parents. One a Game Animator and the other an Artist who fixates on weather, transportation, and animals. Always told them if everyone was the same we would live in a very boring place. Must have done something right. One going the film track and the other enjoys studying dead peoples bones. 

I'll admit I am a kind of weirdo about weather (and other things lmao) Look how excited I am about Mammoth Resort getting 17 inches of snow last night, lol. When I lived in Dale City I would go out at 3am and roll in the snow! I enthusiastically piled it so high from shoveling it, dad would cry with embarrassment. Sure I'm fooking weird. I needed help. I'd stay up all night watching the dendrites fall. It was everyone else that was normal and well-adjusted. The meteorologists are the finest examples of human beings imaginable. WxUSAF cracks me up with some of his posts lol.

Wth is going on in El Paso?  If this is political, feel free to delete... but uh wtf

They are giving no explanations.

Without explanation, FAA closes El Paso and New Mexico airspace for 10 days, cites national defense

https://elpasomatters.org/2026/02/11/unexplained-faa-order-shuts-down-el-paso-southern-new-mexico-airspace-for-10-days/

The Federal Aviation Administration issued unexplained notices late Tuesday closing airspace over El Paso and a large patch of southern New Mexico west of Santa Teresa for 10 days. El Paso International Airport is closed to all flights, the city said. 

The orders close off all air travel in the affected area, which could cause massive disruption in the nation’s 23rd largest city.

“THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA) CLASSIFIES THE AIRSPACE DEFINED IN THIS NOTAM AS ‘NTL DEFENSE AIRSPACE’. PILOTS WHO DO NOT ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING PROC MAY BE INTERCEPTED, DETAINED AND INTERVIEWED BY LAW ENFORCEMENT/SECURITY PERSONNEL,” the notices said.

“THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT MAY USE DEADLY FORCE AGAINST THE AIRBORNE ACFT, IF IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE ACFT POSES AN IMMINENT SECURITY THREAT,” the notice continued. 

The notices, known as Notice to Air Missions, or NOTAM, took effect at 11:30 p.m. Mountain Time Tuesday, and expire at 11:30 p.m. Feb. 20.

Mods, feel free to delete this transmission. This is the banter thread, but I do know that I probably should not be delving into anything of this nature. Not only because political is proscribed, but this is classified as well.

Plow Guy needs to get plowing STAT! The snow is rapidly getting deeper as heavy snow continues apace and more brobdingnagian elements of deep Pacific moisture continue blowing right up against the Sierran Cordillera! It's a massive conveyor belt coming up from the Pacific Ocean right up thru the Channel Islands and on into the Sierras then annihilating Mammoth Resort! That's a trajectory for much more snow than expected!

EDIT: I just saw the plow. Boy if they don't get that snow plowed, it will just keep right on piling up. Snowstorms mean serious bisnass in the Sierra.

We've gone from extrapolation to excrapolation

Damn this is sig worthy lmao

Some of the most outstanding posts are made up in here when people are getting disgruntled.

This is also a brand-new snow futility marker. That does it. Snow futility is gonnabe on one of my new ScienceWeather boards and also on one of the Wikis.

Mammoth has already received 10-13 inches of fresh pow in the past 24 hours. They will pile on another foot of freshies overnight.

On second thought, YUCK. Someone needs to learn how to trim their damn nails...

This thread has gone completely to hell and back folks.

We could at least track severe weather.

i was in college at the time.  i remember i was doing some school work in my room, and my roommate and his friend starting screaming "holy shit, holy shit" - I ran in and started watching.  Just something that we had never seen and will probably never see again.

It started at 1:12:29 with a foul and one badass push........What an E-P-I-C Brawl !!!

DAMN I ADORE THIS STUFF WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!!!!

Snow is pouring down at Mammoth. It's starting.

https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam

We hit 86 today in Buda. Texas is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY above normal. Normal high is 60. We shall enjoy an EARLY SPRING!

Sierras will go 2023 redux.

After a time the lights on the Woolly Lot were switched off but you can see snow falling heavily at the Village Level

https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/the-village

Village Level has 2 inches of fresh snow, but you can clearly see that Woolly Lot has 3-4 inches of new snow. More is on the way overnight on into Tuesday.

Next weekend the Sierras are going to get completely destroyed by a huge snowstorm.

Light snow in Mammoth Mtn ski resort!!! It's been 5 weeks since the last snow lol

Learning about this stuff in my atmosphere and weather course this fall really shows how just objective it all is. I remember I had to learn and derive the whole solar forcing equation and calculate the temperate of earth based on the suns output. In the observed temp equation there are three variables. 1. Solar forcing 2. Albedo 3. Greenhouse gas absorption. That’s it. You can do the math and it all checks out. Then everything else falls from there. Storms ride baroclinic boundaries and the polar jet. Both of those shift north in response to our temperature. To emphasize it will snow again we will get a HECS again but gradually our chances slowly run dry until we’re all fighting for scraps over a 50 mile frozen shield on any storm that doesn’t have a great pattern. 

Me, I'd move to the Tug or to a northern or western ski resort location, kick back in my favorite lawn chair and enjoy the brobdingnagian dendrites.

Go visit the southeast subforum. That despair is coming soon for the mid atlantic. People just don't know it yet. Moods are way too controlled by the latest model runs. When those change. Watch out. 

This is gonna end up on one of my Science Weather forums.

Its TRULY EPIC!

I’m fine with it being over if we don’t get anything else. We got a major winter storm and cold for a large part of winter.  I’ll stick around watching until about Feb 15-20 then it’s time to get the cherry blossoms and daffodils loose in the bullpen. 

You ought to come visit Texas and kick back with some fine Lone Star State brisket! That stuff's to DIE FOR!

Really do not want to admit this but usually in winter, when Texas starts getting about 20 degrees above normal, and the West Coast starts seeing storms, it usually signals a pattern change. Pacific is clearing its throat and will tend to marshal weather right across the CONUS. The pac don't care much about blocking, it's the gift that just keeps right on giving. Kind of like the Energizer Bunny. It just keeps going.......and going.........and going.

I am literally beside myself with pure JOY over highs in the 80s and getting to dance around in a T-shirt in early February! When it gets like this in Feb lots of the ladies come out and kick back in full effect! Its gonnabe high time to turn out fine Texas brisket and beer!

It's a great time to be alive!

NO MORE ICE! NO MORE COLD!

Mt Bachelor is starting to get pummeled again, they got 10 inches snow in last 24 hours

I don't care what the models say right now. DMV will get a massive snowstorm in the next 4-6 weeks. This pattern is incredible!

It's STILL ON!

At its core, this board does one thing: bring people together united by our love of weather who otherwise wouldn't know each other existed. You are a sterling (no pun intended) example of an awesome human being who happens to love weather. I had an amazing time staying up until 2 am talking about weather and appreciate your patience as I asked forty million questions about my passion, lake effect snow.  I am no met scientist and know my lane here and appreciate the fact you let me take a drive in yours. That intercept up at Keysers Ridge is on my short list of all time weather experiences. Heck, Justin Berk loved it and reposted a pic of us getting crushed! The mark of a good time is answering a single question: would you do it again? Hell yeah, times a thousand. My door is wide open for you any time, any day.

This. I see tons of content every day I love.
