  1. ouch. I will be 81, and in all likelihood quite dead, at the rate I am going.
  2. It is becoming more official every passing hour. Monday. Austin. Mostly cloudy. Maybe a few breaks. Massive cirrostratus overcast. Good luck, New England, with the eclipse. You are forecast to have clear cool crisp weather. You should enjoy optimum eclipse viewing conditions. I'm happy. I just got to watch 27 inches of snow fall at Mammoth, thru a high definition camera. It's NOT the first time this season. I got to watch people struggle to walk thru deep snow. Those of you who can, head for New England. There is still time, especially if you board a flight.
  3. I can't even imagine an EARTHQUAKE in a place like New York City.
  4. If it was an anomalous strong +PNA
  5. This is a Special Jebman Bulletin. Heavy snow, outright torrential at times, has been obliterating Mammoth since early Thursday afternoon about 1pm local time. Mammoth got destroyed by 21 inches of fresh pow OVERNIGHT and possibly more yesterday afternoon as the maelstrom dragged on at inches per hour at times overnight!. The ambient temperature is 10 degrees. Pow is abundant today and you are advised to strap on a snorkel, avalung and avalanche beacon for safety as well as bring along a buddy. Snow Immersion accidents can and do occur in these conditions especially off-piste! WATCH OUT FOR TREE WELLS! People often end up upside down in a tree well and panic, bringing more snow down with them and they suffocate to death in the snow in as little as fifteen minutes! BRING A POWDER BUDDY, KEEP AN EYE ON EACH OTHER WHILE SKIING! Heavy snow is still pouring and a lot more is on the way. These are truly EPIC, but also extremely HAZARDOUS ski conditions, especially for novices. The chairs are actually SCRAPING THE SNOWPACK on the lower part of the Unbound lift! Be CAREFUL getting on! Heavy snow will continue throughout the day, piling up even more fresh pow! Stashes are gonnabe EPIC today! Pow is super abundant so get out there are enjoy the freshies! Very heavy snow is again obliterating Mammoth! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge This has been a special Jebman Bulletin. The Jeb Report is YOUR one-stop shop for all things snow, skiing, and Sierra! Enjoy the deep fresh pow and stay safe!
  6. Wow NYC got a 4.7 mag quake?
  7. Frackin' Snowing at Mammoth! They are getting obliterated, again!
  8. It is hammering Mammoth so damn hard, that plow blade guy just started plowing by the Mammoth, and you can see they have already gotten obliterated by 12-16 inches of new blower pow!!!!!!!!!!! And, it is STILL POURING DOWN!!!!!!!! Radar shows a low just slamming wave, after wave, after massive wave of Pacific moisture against the Mammoth Cordillera! The waves keep on smashing HARD right into Mammoth, getting forced 11000 feet straight up into 10 degree air, and falling as absolutely TORRENTIAL snows!!!!!! If this keeps up like this, Mammoth may have ~20 inches by 9am Friday! Or even more!!!! TORRENTIAL snow has been obliterating Mammoth since early Thursday afternoon!!!!
  9. CONGRATS, excellent weenie pic but you need to check out the Mammoth!! It is just pouring and pouring heavy heavy heavy snow! THE LIGHTS ARE ON at the Main Lodge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That place is absolutely getting demolished!!! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge The way that super torrential snow is coming down, it is easily the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! Tomorrow is gonnabe snorkel day! They are gonna have SO MUCH DEEP POW! This is officially a MC HAMMER Blizzard! Can't touch this!
  10. I am a delivery guy at 4am. Gotta be fast. If you are quick then you can get away with anything, permission or no permission.
  11. I have tried the hopium. Has a hell of a hangover and I still can't see the eclipse.
  12. Yep it's a looooooooooooooooong flight over, about 16 to 19 hours. I would be reading about 500 blogging pdf's.
  13. Mammoth is getting obliterated by HUGE HUGE aggregates right now! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam One thing is as sure as death and taxes. It's going to be Socked In in Austin Monday. Multiple cloud decks associated with efficient moisture transport. No eclipse for me and that's too bad. But the Sierra, NEVER LETS ME DOWN. Mammoth is getting destroyed by gargantuan aggregates right now and the wind is blowing the snow all over the place, filling my dark heart with sublime joy!!!!! The forecast was for two inches of snow. Guess what? Mammoth is getting 13 inches of freshies today! Maybe even more free refills tonight! Those winds are gusting to 65mph but the aggregates are STILL 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER!!!!!! IT doesn't get better than this!!!!!! Temperature is down to a refreshing 16 degrees and the visibility is shot straight to heck! I wub this type of weather! This is how skiers get disorientated and stumble around, finally ending up like Luke Skywalker on Hoth falling over in a nice deep refreshing snowdrift, mumbling dagobah! The Sierras know how to party when it comes to major winter snows, making the Northeast snows look like flurries in a passing arctic front in Florida in January! It just fell to 14 degrees! The Sierra don't know how to fail! Mammoth has now cooled down to a refreshing 13 degrees! Now it is 12 degrees. I see why al the skiers went in the damn lodge. It is getting pretty chilly outside.
  14. Sugarloaf is absolutely getting destroyed right now by heavy snow! Its piling up!

  19. Lot of sleet? No prob. Just walk like a penguin. You can always slide in on your ass.
  20. I know how you feel. We get robbed of life giving rain often because of other goddarned weather systems nearby. Also, some G-D weather system on Monday (the 8th) is gonna rob us of sunshine lol. Yeah, I feel ya.
  21. Jan 15 2025 was a Wednesday. That day the southern slider continued its slow march NE'ward. NNE winds averaged about 12-20 mph with occasional gusts around 34mph. The snow fell as flurries, although the skies became very very dark. Forecasters predicted a slow movement of the slider, which would feature very light but steady snows. The ratios were good because of the frigid air as well as profound surface frigidization. What that meant, was that all the snow would stick, from flake 1, and that roads, sidewalks, driveways, would INSTANTLY cave! The official forecast was for light snow to continue into the evening. N to NE winds were expected to blow 12-20 mph with some gusts to 34. Dews would gradually come up, but air temps would remain in the mid to upper single digits with wind chills generally minus 15 to minus 20. Aviation was already becoming challenging because of low scudding cloud decks and snow. That damn wind was blowing the snow all over the runways in spite of attempts to clear it. The storm was expected to generally move slowly NE and off the North Carolina coast with time, ending the snow from SW to NE on Thursday. Accumulations were expected to range from 2 to 4 inches in much of Virginia, Maryland with lesser amounts in West Virginia. The Appalachians would see more snow due to upsloping on the east side of the hills. Posters on AmWx were clamoring for Winter Storm Warnings, especially within the Mid Atlantic sub. Everyone else northeast along the coast was upset as fook about the storm and whiffing cirrus while the MA got in on a climo magnitude snow. PSU had three inches in his back yard already, even as most locations had only barely a quarter inch. Forecasters weren't clear on why. Many were very happy to see snow, but chafed at the light rates! Where on earth were the heavier snow bands? The NAM was a crazy outlier with over three feet of snow. Many were hugging it. The rest of the models showed a 3-6 inch consensus. This was why there was so much clamor for Winter Storm Warnings. So many snow weenies cried to get NAM'med lmao! Jeb was out on another jebwalk. He loved to jebwalk the so-called Outer Rim, the outer part of the 1.75 mile Potomac Mills parking lot. The flurries were blowing around all over the lot! It was really fascinating watching the flurries get blown all along the roads by the 20 mph NNE winds! At times, the snow became light, not just flurries. Where was the heavier snow? It was fun to watch the wind blow the flurries sideways! The snow was dry and blew around so easily! It was drifted by curbs and various obstructions. Jeb eagerly walked on all the drifts! A brief moderate snow band blew like crazy in the wind! Everything was instantly white! Jeb looked at the radar on his tablet, but all it showed was light green returns. No yellow or red, just a big huge light green blob! There was a thin line of darker green that was dumping some moderate snow for a brief time then it went back to flurries/light snow that just blew and blew in the NNE winds! Wind gusted to about 35, Jeb yelled WOOOOOOOO----HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! with sheer delight because of the brief whiteout-like conditions! This was starting to get very enjoyable! Jeb ducked into the mall because it was starting to get slightly cold. That wind was getting in his jacket and thru his gloves!
  22. I think it is high time for a snow yarn. This one will be in segments because I am extremely busy where I live now. We are in the Spring cycle in Texas and have 234 decillion, 489 quadrillion tasks to do here. This is not like my life used to be back in N VA 6 years ago. I don't know jack shit about meteorology. I do know I am morbid about terminal snows and severe storms that have no mercy at all, with absolutely no regard at all for consequences to populations. I am evil and uncaring enough to happily write this and sleep like a baby at night with not a care in this world. **************************** January 15, 2025 was a very cold day in the DMV. Everyone knew it was going to snow. The forecasters were calling for 2 to 4 inches. A storm had formed in the GoM, was a southern slider and would bring the snow then move out to sea. Highs even in DC were only in the 0 to 8 degree range. Cross polar flow was established. A refreshing 23 mph northerly breeze was blowing. Clouds were moving in from the southwest and thickening. Dewpoints were around ~ 10 below zero. Jeb was happily jebwalking along in Dale City, with a grin on his face. This was because he knew a lot of snow was coming to the DC Region. In fact it would be way too much of a good thing. Jebs grin broadened at that thought. He worshiped snow, and lots of it! He kicked back on a park bench and happily drew a polar front cross section on a notebook, just like he used to do in high school in lieu of actually doing assigned work. Then he savored the AmWx forums on his tablet. SNE was grumping about the ma getting the snow while they whiffed cirrus. The Mid Atlantic sub was tracking the models to death. The NAM was indicating 3 feet of snow but was an outlier. The model consensus was 3 to 6 inches. Many posters were calling for WSW's. PSU was having to field a ton of questions about the new base state. Jeb daydreamed about trying to shovel out the entire Potomac Mills parking lot using a Jebman Shovel, and piling the snow super high! Altostratus was moving in from the ESE. Was that a flurry? Naah the dews were way too low, about -13. The breeze was refreshing though. Jeb read the NWS LWX AFD for the 79th time. Forecasters insisted the southern slider would move out to sea. This would hold accums to 2 to 4 inches. Many in the Mid Atlantic sub were hopeful the storm would overachieve and dump warning level amounts of snow. Bob Chill said the slider had upside, especially because the ratios were favorable. Jed happily walked the Potomac Mills lot, admiring the milquetoast small piles of snow here and there. The skies grew darker and more foreboding and the cool north wind gusted suddenly to 37 mph out of the NE! A flurry of snow began, leaving Jeb wondering how precip could be already reaching the ground with low negative teen dewpoints! The wind blew the snow right along the lot pavement!
  23. You have a job in heaven. I love that video with all my heart! I would be digging snow for years!
  24. Damn I hate Texas. This GD place is always cloudy with catastrophic rains during total eclipses. This happened here 600 years ago during the last total eclipse in Central Texas. I am officially cursed. I despise where I live and I hate my cloudy, torrentially rainy life too! I am officially shyte out of luck.
