Don't look now but its SNOWING HARD IN PALISADES AGAIN! Check out that 8200' Scope! Thats a MONSTER 6 FOOT DRIFT! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=palisades Someone talkin RIDGE in the West? Naah, I dont think so. March is gonna be BIG in the sierra! I dont care what the models say! Sierra dont care either! If its gonna snow BIG in the Sierra, It's just gonna snow BIG in the Sierra!

I am now ALL IN If it's snow for the Mid Atlantic then I am all for it.

That might actually not be a bad idea.

George BM I would like you to consider writing us up a freak snowstorm in April in the DC Region which is an UNPRECEDENTED triple phaser with the storm in a 40/70 Benchmark location relative to Washington DC. Please? And this biblical blizzard gets STALLED in the 40/70 benchmark position for days on end? Please! You know how to do storm writeups! Kocin and Uccellini should be takin serious notes from you! The storm has a ton of frigid cAk Siberian air to draw from to produce unprecedented amounts of snow over the entire sub, but this scenario takes into account the very warm oceans' input to such a storm resulting in ice-age-like implications not just during the storm, but well after!

Are you kidding me? It's snowing pretty hard right now in Palisades AGAIN! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=alpine https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=palisades

We are gonna start a new thread. It will be entitled, "The Ji-WW Alliance Snowstorm: Our Last Great White Hope" After what I saw at Mammoth thru a camera for 4 days, I am officially batshyte crazy about 190 mph blizzards with 4-10 feet of snow in the Sierra. Or about any snow we can get in March in the DMV.

I know, I'm pretty batshyte crazy right now but I'm in, if there is a chance for snow in the Mid Atlantic in March. I guess I am pretty happy from watching 39 inches of snow get blown around by 125mph winds on a camera at Mammoth the last 4 days lol. If this can happen - Let's bring this one HOME! Use the Force! Let's track this to death! Let's see if we can salvage some snow in the Mid Atlantic!

Wow! TEN FEET OF SNOW! Sounds like a snow job lol! I might have to drop in on Donner and dig these guys out using Jebman Standards and my shovel!

Correction. Palisades did not end up with 6 feet. Last night they piled on an extra 12 inches. They got SEVEN feet from this mega blizzard!! EDIT: https://blog.palisadestahoe.com/weather/digging-out-from-8-feet-of-snow/ I was balls wrong about Palisades earlier today. They got eight feet total, IN FOUR DAYS! They have got a ton of digging out to do.

Mammoth is open. It's a massive powder day. Palisades is opening up as well, and it is still snowing HARD there! It's a spectacular day in the white room and you better pack a snorkel if you go off piste! Deep stashes are plentiful and this is a great day to carve out some great turns as we have three feet of fresh pow at Mammoth and 6 feet of fresh pow at Tahoe, with even MORE snow pummeling the Palisades!

Palisades Tahoe has 6 feet of snow. It is still snowing. They are planning to open Monday. Ski Patrol said they will be digging out for the foreseeable future. Damn I envy them. One pic of them showed a man trudging thru 3 feet of pow. He looked kind of punked out.

For you, lol. But for ME, There can NEVER be too much snow. Day After Tomorrow was not enough snow for me. Winds weren't nearly high enough. Tahoe's 190 mph wind gust at the Crest met my needs well, as well as insane amounts of the snow. I absolutely worship how that snow blew off the roof at the Mammoth Main Lodge in 125 mph gusts! Nothing on earth is more important, than getting to see THAT and blasting all my tracks at 950 decibels. There is NEVER too much snow. There is never enough snow. And that WIND really needs to blow that pow all over the place, in huge white clouds that blot landmarks out for weeks, severely disorientating travelers who soon end up just like Luke Skywalker on Hoth. I wub that blowing powder so much! Mammoth showed me all about that! I love Mammoth, I love Tahoe, and I love Donner. I can still get my fix from blowing snow off the Woolly Lot. https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam

I am absolutely full of jealousy! Wow man the snow at night in the lights must be awesome! You came in search of a snow fix. I think you found some! WOW 9-10 feet of snow!!! And even MORE on the way! Find a job, stay there! You have found HEAVEN! The Sierra has got everyone else OUTCLASSED! They dont get that much in the Northeast. All the Great Lakes got was only 6 feet. I pick the Sierra! I WORSHIP Tahoe and Mammoth with all my snow weenie heart! Mammoth is still blowin hard, ground blizzard. Tahoe is still getting heavy snow and blowing all over, still piling up snow! As can be seen above, Donner is still snowing and blowing and it looks like they have gotten at least 9 feet, maybe 10 feet of snow with another couple feet to come then yet another storm in a few days will dump yet another 2 feet! Obviously, the Sierra is the place to BE if you love snow. The Cascades are another good place. Extreme high winds plus insane amounts of snow are the BEST. Donner, Tahoe, Mammoth win hands down!

Mammoth still has blowing snow and some light to moderate falling snow. But Tahoe is still getting heavy snow. It looks like they got at least 5 feet of snow. Mammoth got about three and a half feet.

Both Palisades and Mammoth remain closed. Winds are still too excessive to open lifts. Snow continues to pile up as well. Visibilities are better. People are out walking around. Mammoth has 3 feet. Tahoe has a TON of snow, probably 5-6 feet. I heard Donner Pass may have ~8 to 9 feet. There are a lot of folks stuck on the highways. Some of these ppl have been in their cars for 2 days. This is a full blown desperate emergency. It's still blizzarding. Katabatic is marooned at Donner in an airbnb expecting at least another 4 feet of snow. Yesterday he reported 7 feet so far. He was lookin for a snow fix. He got some, alright lol. The snowblower the condo association uses to clear all the snow is broken. In the meantime, snow piles up there and the wind is stacking drifts. Hope Katabatic is okay. He is out of power and has no Internet, though his phone works.

You came for a snow fix. It looks like you found one. Wow all that snow! You sure know how to pick when to vacation in a snow zone! I envy you and am jealous as heck! Enjoy the snow! Dig massive amounts of snow! Dig a snow cave! Have fun in it! You wanted snow. YOU GOT IT! You are getting a genuine Donner Experience!

Excellent point. Weather is changing. We need to start thinking in terms of mobile backyards. Figure which mountain regions will get obliterated by snow then go there and get your massive snow fix. I live in south TX. My mobile backyard is located in Tahoe or in Mammoth, particularly that Woolly complex. That place gets destroyed a lot by both damaging winds and torrential snows. Heavy snow is great for a fix. But there is nothing like a decent dose of severe Category 5 winds to get things nice and spicy!

Next time you lay in the snow to appreciate it I will drop by and shovel fresh pow from Mammoth over you to make it a singularly memorable experience lol. This is what in the snow resort space we refer to as a genuine 'Jebman Special'.

In the Village in Mammoth, it is snowing SO HARD it's unbelievable! They must already have a new foot of pow! They JUST plowed that! In life, there is no better thing, than to be Mammoth'ed by high winds and insane snow rates! I absolutely LOVE Mammoth to the utter exclusion of everything and everyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are getting gray outs again in the world-famous Woolly lot as the winds come up and a burst of torrential snow smashes into the Sierra tonight!!!! The Village at Mammoth is getting absolutely obliterated right now! It's WORSE, than last night!!!!! Woolly is getting so obliterated that they have a near constant gray-out! It's very high winds plus an extra burst of very very heavy snow that is utterly assaulting the living hell out of the Woolly region!

Might want to check out the Palisades cams, 8200 foot Scope shows a decent drift. This is the first time in DAYS I've been able to see anything Tahoe. https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=palisades Alpine cams are still worthless. Its pretty windy up there. They've been closed down all day anyway. Mammoth cams are usable and it is still snowin and blowin there, tho a tad less than last night's wonderful grayouts with tons of snow comin down! The forecasters were spot on with the water equivalents and they got the snow, BUT the high winds broke the aggregates up in smaller flakes that did not pile up as high and the winds blew some snow off the measuring sites. That's why Tahoe probably has 4 feet now and Mammoth has 2-3 feet now. Up to three more feet could pile up by Monday morning, but the caveat is that the winds will break up the flakes and reduce snow depth measurements. But I KNOW what I saw come down last night! It was white GOLD and those 100 plus winds made for an exciting, rousing show! To my everlasting joy, Tahoe recorded 190 mph winds at crest last night! THIS IS MY KIND OF WEATHER! IT'S MY KIND OF WEATHER! This is still an INCREDIBLE storm and I am very happy I got to witness last night's extravaganza! Wow I am so happy and full of vicarious snow, I close my eyes and all I see are whiteouts and tractor blades tryin so hard to clear deepening snowpacks on the lots of the resort! I LOVE MAMMOTH SO MUCH! Just have a look at all that blowing snow! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam CHECK IT OUT! LIGHTS ARE BACK ON AT THE MAIN LODGE! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge

Today, snow is falling, strong winds are still blasting snow. Both Tahoe and Mammoth are closed because of high snow rates, high winds and visibilities shot completely to hell. I have never seen The Village in Mammoth like this. This is a serious storm. Plows are very very busy today. People are walking around bewildered by the horrific conditions. Mammoth got 20 inches overnight. How can you tell with strong winds blowing the powder all over the place at 15 degrees? Not sure how much Palisades has gotten so far. Woolly cam portrays a very dark snowscape with very bad visibility. Snow is blowing all over. I have gotten one heck of a high octane snow fix off of the Mammoth cameras, especially last night!!! Very high wind gusts are causing gray out / white out on the woolly lot. The storm is still raging nearly at last night's ferocity. Wow wow wow wow wow Mammoth is such a snow enthusiasts paradise! Those winds are really blowing that POW all over! They plowed that lot BUT the storm just piles more pow on! This place is whiteout central! Mammoth NEVER, EVER lets you down! Are you kidding me???????? There's a Bus and that whiteout was so damn BAD, you can't even see the bus! The bus was only a few scant feet from the camera! Man I am falling head over heels in sweet WUB with Mammoth!!!! What a storm! What an incredible blizzard this is! This is SO bad, you could get so overly cold jebwalking out in this then get so badly disorientated in the ongoing whiteout, that you could easily end up like Luke Skywalker on Hoth. Ha ha guys getting pics in front of the Mammoth in the teeth of the blizzard lol. Another bus full of touristas lookin at the shut down lifts amid huge blowing aggregates! Mammoth fell to 14 degrees. Still snowing and blowin real hard, whiteouting to death. Touristas can't resist, they are jebwalking all over lol.

You are NO wannabe. Best I have ever read from you, George BM! That storm could have been pulled straight out of the Sierra Blizzard! Wow! 75 mph winds with snow, 30 foot drifts! Wow wow wow wow wow! If something like this happened in the DC Region I'd BE THERE to dig everyone out with my SHOVEL, not a dumb snowblower!

Its unbelievable what this storm is forecasted to dump on Tahoe and Mammoth. By the end of the new week, Tahoe could have an ADDITIONAL 10-11 FEET, this is on top of what has ALREADY FALLEN lmao! Tahoe may have about 15-25 inches already. They have been under massive assault by this storm since early Thursday, thru Thursday night thru Friday into tonight/this morning. MUCH MUCH more yet to come. Winds are gusting into the 100-110 range, creating gray out/white out conditions. This can be seen on the Woolly Cam at Mammoth, even at this time with many of the resort outdoor lights switched off. https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam MUCH more heavy snow and high wind to come today Saturday, Saturday night and Sunday. More snow Monday as well. Tahoe or Mammoth or Truckee are great places to get a snow fix in. Tractor blade guy is at it again, this time he has more snow to plow. He's got his work cut out for him tryin to keep the resort plowed. This storm is relentless. I hope people are not out trying to drive in this. That woolly cam, it is a near constant GRAY OUT from very high winds just blasting unbelievable amounts of heavy snow! Thats NOT fog. Its very heavy snow being blasted to heck by insane wind velocities! Some of those gusts are well in excess of 120 mph! This is NO TIME to jebwalk! What you are seeing on the Woolly cam is tractor blade is pushing snow then a snowblower truck is blowing the piled up snow into a holding container in the back of the truck. They are moving the snow. It's coming down so fast they are removing it at intervals. They are gonna be busy all weekend. Katabatic is in Donner Pass. He is getting a SERIOUS SNOW FIX right now I'll bet!

That woolly cam is compulsive watching! Those high winds are really blowing that heavy snow all over at Mammoth. I wub how the 100 mph winds gray everything out! Mammoth is my favoritest place ever! This place NEVER EVER lets you down! The drifting is so unbelievably bad, it is covering up the lights in front of the Mammoth! Woooooooooooo----- Hoooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! I really wub 100 mph heavy snow blizzards so much!!!!!!!!! Mammoth is pure heaven right now! 22 degrees, lots of fresh heavy snow, visibilities have done gone straight out the proverbial window, and those refreshing winds are 60 to 70 mph with exhilarating gusts to 110!!!!!!!!! This is a steady state condition at Mammoth! Fresh snow is drifting all over the woolly lot the tractor blade guy just plowed! Ain't this cool?????????!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow another huge 110 mph gust! INSTANT GRAY OUT! CANT EVEN SEE A SINGLE THING UP IN HERE! I wub 110 mph blizzards loaded up for Bear with torrential snow SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am watching this and BLASTING Elton John tracks! One report from Tahoe, winds clocked at 167mph. Damn this is serious serious bisnass!

Mammoth is turning into a milkshake froth at times. You can barely see the Mammoth from the woolly cam lmao! Winds are really picking up amid moderate snow. That WIND is blowing all that fresh snow all over! This is becoming intriguing lol. As of 848pm central time, apparently moderate to heavy snow is assaulting both Tahoe and Mammoth. Tahoe has been under assault since yesterday. Tahoe probably has at least 12 to 18 inches. Mammoth is unbelievable, heavy snow whipped around by winds that tonight are forecast to reach 115mph. That's Category 3 hurricane force gusts! They are calling for up to 39 inches just tonight/overnight. Not sure how much has fallen at Mammoth. The problem is very high winds, it is going to be very difficult to verify just how much snow has fallen. I think based on eyeballing the woolly lot and the Village lot, about 8 inches of snow have fallen at Mammoth but the reality is probably more than that. Drifting is getting ridiculous, I have been scopelocked on Mammoth since November, some of these shacks are developing 6 foot drifts, could be taller. These winds are life threatening. I can see why Ski Patrol has shut things down at Mammoth and gotten folks in buildings. The drift by the mammoth on woolly lot looks to be about five feet but is likely taller. With the milkshake froth developing from heavy pac moisture snow and extreme wind gusts, it will be easy to become disorientated and lost then succumb to the cold and blowing snows. Two meter temperatures will fall to 12 tonight in and around Mammoth. Wind chills are going to be Everest-like. This is definitely NO time for a jebwalk. Snow is expected to become not only very heavy but also of a drier character and will blow around in the admittedly insane wind gusts. Visibility will be shot completely to hell and back. Apparently storms delayed in the Sierra are not necessarily denied. This storm was a day and a half late, but it is still going to destroy Tahoe and Mammoth and many other Sierran communities. Not sure how much snow will accumulate - that is for local folks who truly understand how this stuff goes in that part of the world. As for me - if I was there I'd be a frackin statistic in no time. I would try to jebwalk then get slammed by a freak 125 mph gust and smashed against a mountainside. As for my forecast last night, I was balls wrong lmao. Some March 2001 redux lol. It took its sweet time getting to Mammoth but its here now and will blast severe winds and snow against these communities with no mercy at all. I dont know how much snow they will ultimately get. Its going to be a lot, though. I am admittedly getting my snow fix, and then some! You might want to peruse these links. https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam Main Lodge will have lights until 3am your time! You might want to take a gander at those! Its unbelievable! Heavy snow plus crazy high winds!! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge When those winds come up, they turn the heavy snow into a kind of milkshake-like froth! This place is a snow lovers paradise but it could also be frankly dangerous. At times, that insane wind whips the snow into a kind of solid gray WALL - You can't even see a damn thing! That place is Heaven! Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Given these unusual storm conditions, woolly cam lot will be quite the picturesque draw - even after the resort switches off the Main Lodge lights. You'll still be able to see LOTS on the woolly cam lot! Guy with a tractor blade plowed the woolly lot but the heavy snow keeps right piling up and drifting in hurricane force gusts lol.
