Jebman

We are already at 70 percent leafout, already TWO highs in the low 90s. Many days dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s. March is the new early May. New base state is demolishing everything, except my beloved Sierran Cordillera! Cascadian Cordillera, too! The FIG TREE has already sprouted new leaves and some branches had already grown out 6-8 inches! Wow we are starting our growing season so EARLY!!! We hit 84 today!

Many thanks, snownut for your pics and narrative. I see you love skiing and snow! I wub these precious snow pics so much! I must add the Cascades and Mt Bachelor to my Promised Land Destinations! I yearn to roll around in some of the deep deep powder in the middle of the night when everyone is fast asleep! I want to stroll through a lot of pristine DRIFTS, too, on the sly in the middle of the night! I might need to drop by that lodge and volunteer to dig it out! I will demonstrate Jebman Standards! You guys are gonna need all the help diggin out you can get ! I fervently hope you get palisaded with more deep deep powder soon. I hope you get in some spectacular skiing in very deep powder and stay very safe! Enjoy all that snow and hopefully much much much MORE!!!!!!!!!

I am absolutely in heartfelt love with the Sierras and all the snow there! Every Billy Joel track is beginning to remind me of the major Sierran snowstorm with its Category 5 wind gusts! I have been blasting all Billy Joel's tracks for days and now my relatives are not the only ones shaking their heads. Texans have never seen me in full snow love mode like this. This is now an all-out infatuation with everything Sierran, everything snow, everything skiing! I am in full Cambrian explosion love with that storm! This, from just watching a CAMERA in Mammoth! Imagine what I'd be like if I had actually been there! I don't like blizzards with 100 mph gusts. I like Sierran Blizzards with 190 mph gusts! The Northeast officially sucks, it is the Florida Peninsula in August. All the mountains in the northeast get is 4 feet of snow with 90 mph gusts. That's pedestrian! I saw those YouTube vids with motorists stranded on I-80 with 100 mph wind gusts blowing pow all over them with zero visibilities! Drifts 7 feet tall! I KNOW what I saw! I have nothing but PURE LOVE for that blowing snow! I absolutely WORSHIP, on bended knee, in full supplication, with tears coming out of my eyes in eternal gratitude, the way I should be doing with G-d, the blessed eleven feet of fresh snow in Donner! I am absolutely, perfectly crrazy for the severe blizzards in the Sierra! ELEVEN FEET! I'd be digging snow for MONTHS in perfect bliss! Those guys get 60/36 weather in Summer! That snow will to all intents and purposes, never melt! Take a gander at the 8200 foot Scope at Palisades! They have removed most of the ginormous drift there but you get the idea, that snow is DEEP! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams DONT LOOK NOW, BUT IT IS SNOWING IN MAMMOTH AGAIN! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge

You are gonna have so much fun in the white room! FOUR FEET of POW! You better strap on a snorkel, because massive face shots will be everywhere! Have the time of your life! Carve us out some deep prodigious turns in all that pow! Hope you guys get even MORE deep pow! Wow man, I am so happy for you but I am also so full of jealousy! All the fresh snow! Imagine all the deep stashes! Watch it when you go off piste! Snow Immersion accidents happen and you have very deep snow! Always bring along a partner on a deep pow day! Carry an avalanche beacon and avalung if you can.

That place is pure HEAVEN. Look at all that snow! Just wow! You got nearly ELEVEN FEET! I'd be digging and blasting tracks and wallowing in deep deep drifts at 3am in the morning when everyone is fast asleep! I would have KILLED just to have had a chance to SEE that strong wind blow that snow around! I LOVE the Sierras with all my heart! That region will NEVER EVER let you down! EVER! I will worship and worship and worship and worship and worship and worship and worship and worship and worship those Sierras and all that deep deep snow and all those crazy 190 mph winds blowing that pow in huge clouds that gray out everything and shut down I 80 for days and days and days! This song by Billy Joel will always remind me of the awesome Sierras and the deep snows and 190 mph winds! I have been blasting this puppy LOUD as all hell for the past few days! I KNOW what I saw out of a camera at Mammoth! 120 mph winds blowing tons of pow right off a lodge roof! I wub that stuff and worship that the very same way ppl worship g-d! I am right back to my high school crazies! HELL, I am fookin' WORSE! Relatives are already shaking their heads lmfao! I am a 60 yr old man all happy and giddy as a little kid over a crrazy Ivan snowstorm high up in the Sierras! You need to blast this puppy at at least 120 decibels to get the proper effect!

You all are NOT gonna believe this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We hit 91 again today in Buda!!!!!! Wow SECOND high in the 90s this early! Normal is 67! What's not to LOVE about the new fiery hot Base State?!!!!

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!
