    Where in the hell is Plow Guy? Snow is piling up on the Woolly Lot right now!! More snow will pile up overnight, possibly 10-20 inches!

    Uh-oh. I just noticed two more big brobdingnagian moisture blobs offshore, being pinwheeled right into the Sierra in the next few hours. If those hit Mammoth........ they just might wake up to 36 more inches of pow by Monday morning at 8am. Lots more avalanche mitigation and diggin' out on tap before they can even open things back up for skiers on Monday morning.

    You know what they say....... When it snows it pours. Where is the plow guy at? Snow is pilin' up, already a foot of freshies lay in the Woolly Lot!!! There's so damn much snow lay in the Woolly Lot, that it's actually forming into kind of like, DUNES! Meter's runnin' plow guy!

    They have been plowing and plowing and plowing and plowing and plowing and plowing the Woolly Lot, but the damn snow just keeps right on. It's the damn Energizer Bunny all over again folks!

    That's not all. The radar is truly Brobdingnagian right now. A HUGE, YUGE SWATH of moisture is sweeping right toward the Sierran Cordillera and it is going to dump ridiculous amounts of snow upon Mammoth and countless other resorts into the new day! I would not be surprised if Mammoth picked up a foot or more of freshies overnight. They are gonna get genocided BAD today by torrential snows.

    The radar is evidencing a swath of moisture, inbound to the Sierra, that stretches for hundreds of miles out to sea, maybe even a thousand miles, and the entire movable feast is all gonna train on Mammoth and every other ski resort out there today. We're talking additional FEET of snow yet to fall today folks, maybe even METERS.

    The plow guy has got to be totally exhausted right now, but the Blizzard is giving NO quarter and this sonofabitch is TAKIN NO PRISONERS.

    That radar is Da Bomb! Mammoth is getting FIREHOSED with moisture and constant heavy snow. Visibilities have gone completely to hell and all. Massive moisture elements are smashing up from the Channel Islands straight NNE thru Fresno and on up right into the Cordillera, hosing Mammoth with torrential snow right now. It's developed into a pretty good rendition of a milkshake froth at times in heavy snow and high winds.

    Where in the hell is plow guy when we need him? https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam

    He's probably exhausted from plowing deep snow all frackin' night already!

    Three fresh inches of snow at Mammoth, and plow guy is already at it in the Woolly Lot. They are supposed to get 5 inches by sunrise there then 24 more inches piled on today Jan 3. That's just today's snow. Then even more tonight and Sunday, Sunday night and on into Monday, then even MOAR storms in the Pacific Set.

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

    Pacific conveyor belt is piling on more moisture thru the Channel Islands NNE on into Mammoth, it's just one long moisture-laden conveyor. Moisture is being smashed against the Sierras then thrust upward 11000 feet then condenses into moar and moar heavy snow that will pile on all weekend on into Monday.

    Sierran Cordillera is looking at yet another major winter storm tonight into Monday as at least four feet of additional pow will fall tonight and over the next few days. Ski Patrol needs to stay super sharp because as much as I hate avalanches, snow slide danger is going to become quite high, what with torrential snow accumulations and wind loading from banshee wind gusts especially at the crests. Snow cornices will be likely to develop with time and can easily break off and start unwanted snow slides that can come at the high cost of Ski Patrol personnel getting caught in them. They piled up 11 to 13 inches of additional pow last night, adding to the base snowpack.

    Snow will begin tonight and become quite heavy, winds will blow it around and by tomorrow Jan 3 2026 the Mammoth Resort will become a milkshake froth once again. Additional storms will smash right into the Sierra over the coming days. They are gonnabe quite busy in all the ski resorts in January.

    Shallow layer of very cold air will continue to undercut the warm/moist environment overhead. As temperatures fall into the lower 20s as we go through the morning, showers and thunderstorms will begin to overspread the region owing to an approaching shortwave with decent elevated CAPE (MUCAPE 250-500+ J/kg). As this elevated convection overspreads the region torrential rain falling into the lower 20s surface temps will efficiently freeze on all untreated surfaces allowing for significant icing.

    Freezing showers and thunderstorms will continue into the afternoon. Precip will change over from freezing rain to sleet from NNW to SSE as the sub-freezing layer becomes deeper allowing for upwards of 2 to 4 inches of sleet on top of the significant ½” to 1” of ice accretion. The ice accretion itself will lead to widespread power outages. Temps will fall into the teens as we go through the afternoon and into the evening. There will be a lull in the precip by the mid evening hours as the first shortwave moves to the ENE. But the next one will be right on its heels.

    The second and more life-threatening shortwave will approach the region by the early morning hours of Monday. Precip will overspread the region from SW to NE between 4am and 8am starting off as snow briefly along and north of I-66 and Route 50 before changing over to sleet as we go through the morning hours. Once again, elevated instability will be plentiful owing to unusually warm and humid air over the SE US overrunning the very cold lower-levels of the atmosphere here w/ MUCAPE upwards of 500+ J/kg again. As we reach the early afternoon hours showers and thunderstorms will really start training over the same areas, generally the Greater DC and Baltimore metros. Surface temps will rise into the 19-23F range. But with very warm air just of the surface, precip will change over into freezing rain. This is when the truly historic destruction may occur with ice accretion rates in excess of ¼ to ½” per hour over the course of the afternoon into the evening. By nightfall, many areas may have received an additional 1.5” to 3” of ice accretion leading to universal power outages and tree damage with many structures also experiencing significant damage.

    Precip will exit the region by midnight with skies remaining overcast as we go towards dawn on Tuesday.

    This will be a historic and life-threatening event that will affect many aspects of life locally over the next several days or few weeks.

    Wow George BM GREAT WRITE UP! Happy New Year!

    Folks. I have a dental surgery tomorrow. Yes, on NYE. While some are chasing mind-bending LES, I will be out there chasing..up to .5" if everything breaks right in Harford Co. 

    Hope the dental surgery goes very well with a quick recovery. Have the doc give you some nitrous oxide, that will really help you and the appointment will go by quickly.

    Happy New Year!

    Just felt I needed to mention a fallen Ski Patroller at Mammoth, Cole Murphy, he got caught in a wet snow avalanche and tragically passed away a few days ago after the conclusion of that massive snowstorm in the Sierra. Mammoth will have greatly reduced operations on Wed Dec 31, 2025 as many team members and friends and family will be honoring him.

    Perhaps I should from now on be fervently hoping for smaller snow storms up there in light of considerations for the ski crew on those ski resorts who risk their lives every day in order to safeguard all the other resort guests' lives. I got pretty excited about what I saw the last storm cycle but will hold that back for a change. Instead, I hope storms in the Sierra will be smaller and drier in hope of no more avalanches in the future.

    Storm is winding down in Mammoth, one more area of heavy snow then mostly cloudy and cold down to 10 degrees. Mammoth got nearly 6 feet, Palisades got 5 feet. Both are open for business; however Mammoth will be shut down thru Saturday for avalanche mitigation and trail prep. Many ski resorts across the region will bring in the New Year with a crisp deep blanket of pow.

    Now what we need is a reloading of the Pattern with cold and snow threats across the Mid Atlantic as we prepare to bring in the New Year!

    Mammoth is apparently doing well via Jebman, but I didn't realize how awful the season has been so far in Colorado.  Only a fraction of runs open at the resorts and way below normal snowpack.

    Hopefully Colorado gets meaningful snow very soon.

    Palisades Tahoe also got demolished with 5 feet of snow. Before this storm cycle, they had about an inch up until the day before the storm when they got 6 inches.
