Well, The Reaper only thinks he can retire. The Reaper is Eternal. He never takes a day off. There is always someone he needs to Reap. C'MON, Reaper! Get Down To Bisnass! The Panic Room needs you!

Tahoe is at it again! Check out the 6200 foot and 8200 foot cams, and also Siberia! They are gettin' socked in but good as snow falls and blows around. They snowblew that monster 6 foot behemoth drift off the 8200 foot level platform but more snow is drifting right back onto it! I am absolutely GLUED to the cams, day and night, and blasting old Billy Joel and Elton John tracks that have long reminded me of heavy snow! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams

Just gotta love their Area Forecast Disco, I actually got a few chuckles out of it...... Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Reno NV 105 PM PST Thu Jan 12 2023 .SYNOPSIS... Enjoy the break in the weather today, another period of active weather returns this weekend and into early next week. Expect additional disruptions to travel and mountain recreation through the weekend as periods of heavy snow return to the Sierra. The active pattern is forecast to continue through much of next week with a period of drier conditions likely for the end of next week. && .DISCUSSION... All together now, breathe in, breathe out. This break in the action is short-lived so we should all take some time to appreciate the relative quiet and be present in this moment. Well, enough of that, we are gearing up for yet another active period...starting tomorrow. Taking a look at satellite imagery over the Pacific Ocean, we see yet another system lurking over the open waters and closing in on the West Coast. Today`s general flow pattern will bring southeasterly winds through, allowing for some warmer air to filter in. Our temperatures will hover just above average ahead of the next round, bringing snow levels ranging 7000-8500` for the afternoon. Highs will top out for today for most of us in the mid-to-upper 40s, then overnight lows will dip as the storm moves in overhead. Sierra locations will see 20s, while the western Nevada valleys will hover near freezing. Well, that portion of the discussion was brief and pleasant, now onto the weekend series of systems. Wind gusts pick up tonight with ridges gusting to 65+ mph, a precursor of things to come. For Friday morning wind gusts get even more excited, ridges gusting around 85 mph just ahead of the precipitation moving in. We get right into the action starting early Friday, when the first in our series of storms brings snow showers back to the Sierra, and begins to disrupt travel over the range. For western Nevada valleys, little to no accumulation is expected as the spillover potential is underwhelming. Anything that falls in the valleys will be rain or a light mix. The Tahoe Basin could see 2-5" of new snowfall with higher amounts on the western shores. Sierra passes could see 8-12" out of this first round. Snow totals for Mono County will be lighter, with areas west of Hwy 395 getting 3-8". This will be minor in comparison to what is to come Saturday, but will be enough to create some travel headaches, especially for mountain passes. If you plan to travel through the weekend, be sure to check current road conditions via CalTrans or NDOT. If the western Nevada valleys were thinking we were leaving them out of the excitement, they get their turn starting Saturday. Snow levels begin to fall between 5000-5500` for Saturday, bringing snow into the foothills. Snow will become heavy for the Sierra during the day, when we will again be measuring in feet for The Tahoe Basin up to the passes. Elevations below the snow line will see rain/snow mix during the day, changing over to snow after dark. This will bring light totals to the valley floors overnight, with 0.5-1" possible. Although Sunday will be a relative break in the action, with lighter snowfall overall, there will still be snow accumulating in the Sierra. An additional 3-5" is possible for the Tahoe Basin, Sierra passes could see another 6-8". I wish I could say we were expecting a break after the weekend, but that would be a lie. Monday into Tuesday is shaping up to be yet another potent round of snowfall for the Sierra. A bit of uncertainty remains with timing and snow totals, but a preliminary glance suggests at least another foot or so for the Tahoe Basin, Sierra passes could see another 1-2`. Looking beyond Tuesday, we see this album just keeps skipping, with the same old story of more active weather into Wednesday. The first break appears to be Friday, when ridging starts to take control of our weather pattern and offer some light at the end of this snowy, wet tunnel. HRICH &&

They're getting Janu-Buried, or they are about to be!

Check out the 8200' webcam tonight! I have lost track of how many days in a row they have been getting blasted by snow, but another atmospheric river is gonna dump about four MORE feet of pow on them over the MLK weekend. https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams There is already yet ANOTHER storm behind that, too. I need to go up there and help them dig out, with one of my patented Jebman Shovels. YOU HAVE GOT TO CHECK OUT THIS BLOG!!!!!! Jan 10th: Ripping and Riding an Atmospheric River https://blog.palisadestahoe.com/conditions/jan-10th-ripping-and-riding-an-atmospheric-river/ With 8.5 FEET of new snow so far this month they are absolutely getting JanuBuried !!!!!! Yeah. I am definitely getting my SNOW FIX......... And then some!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You want snow? GO WEST, Young Man! Palisades Tahoe is getting blasted by banshee wind gusts laden with tons of snow! Some places up there have had at least 6 feet of new snow just in the past 7 days! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams You gotta see that Palisades Scope 8200' Cam!! Its been getting blasted for days!

Just absolutely massive amounts of wind-driven snow are piling up on those mountains! Ski resorts are doing beyond fantastic!!!!!

I want to go dig that snow so bad, and to wallow in those deep drifts at 3am.

You're gonna need a bigger shovel.

Wow Jan 6, 7, 8 1996. Oh the Memories! All the EPIC, EPIC jebwalks! I was so young back then! I was digging snow for a while! I was so damned excited, I didnt sleep for three days straight! That, was THE STORM OF A LIFETIME !!!!!!

Take a good gander at this blog from Tahoe...... https://blog.palisadestahoe.com/conditions/jan-5th-untracked-runs-all-morning-at-palisades/ You could get lost in all that fresh POW! I could get lost for decades, digging up all that snow, and a hell of a LOT MORE ON THE WAY UP THERE! Tahoe is getting so damned much snow, they are beginning to make the southern new england region look like the mid atlantic region lmao! Imagine if you can.......... at least FOUR Atmospheric Rivers, aimed straight at the mountains, ALL FRACKIN' SNOW up there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What on earth would a couple feet of rain look like as all pow? And driven by 100 mph wind gusts? Or maybe three or four feet of rain totaled up from four raging atmospheric rivers, as fluffy snow? It would make the Day After Tomorrow look like the 1930s Dust Bowl!

Take a gander at these Palisades Tahoe Cams. These folks are gonna get Day After Tomorrow'd really, really bad over the next 2 weeks. Its going to snow possibly as much as 5-10 feet in the upper mountain slopes over there. Those amounts may turn out to be conservative. Gonna be an epic time jebwalkin' that place! Refreshing 100 mph gusts too, Buffalo, NY style! They have had SO DAMN MUCH SNOW, that they have had to dig the chairlifts out of the snow! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams

What you guys need is a California style pineapple bomb cyclone with the axis of torrential biblical 15 inch an hour snows squarely over SNE. For days. And days.

Ski resorts will be jumping for joy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come to Austin, TX. You'll get your wish. In Spades.

This jebwalk, is beyond epic!

I love snow, but all the people that blizzard killed, that is just horrible. That poor 22 yr old lady trapped in her car by the high winds and numbing cold and snow. Who knows how long she was forced to wait, only to slowly freeze to death in her car? Buffalo in this particular instance, this particular 1977-like blizzard, is no place for an old man like myself. I have changed a LOT in the past 4 years. My right knee got badly injured while I have been living here in south TX. I am not so good at walking anymore. I'm not young either.

I will help you dig out. I will demonstrate Jebman Standards throughout Buffalo.

THAT, was one epic jebwalk! RIGHT INTO A DEATHBAND !!!!!!

Looks like a snow job to me, lol

Buffalo is in BAD, BAD shape. Winds are piling up ridiculous drifts and people are stranded and have been stranded all day. Even MORE lake effect snow is on the way. Merry Christmas to everyone tonight and everyone stay nice and safe. I am very glad I am in south central TX with highs in the low 50s for Christmas. Reed Timmer is an outright hero, helping people out like he is doing.

Reed Timmer has a vid about this latest LES event in Buffalo. Its absolutely crazy! Vis is damn near nonexistent. Winds have been gusting into the seventies in the presence of heavy snow and mid to upper positive single digit temperature conditions. Last night here in south central Texas, we had no snow but it was super cold (at least for us) 12 degrees with northerly wind gusts to 50mph at times. I was delivering for uber eats and it was cold as fook! Wind chills were severe, for us south Texans, down to minus ten. I am not used to this kind of weather anymore! I have now lost all my plants and will start from scratch come spring down here. Its getting so you CAN'T grow citrus here in Texas any more. Climate change is severe and it is changing very very fast, so fast I dont think we can keep up. You guys up in west New York are getting devastated yet again! Note this is not happening one a decade, or once in a generation anymore. It is happening to you once a MONTH! Maybe I'm wrong, but it appears the weather is out of control. Has anyone checked the oceanic currents in the Atlantic lately? Maybe it is slowing down a hell of a lot more than anyone imagined!

Ginxy - I hope you all very soon get a whole lot of snow, good, deep pow with winds to blow it all around up there. Stay safe too. You live in snow country. You'll see big snows soon, it is inevitable.

That's a big storm. Its gonna freeze up south central Texas something horrible, with that north flow on the backside. It is getting to the point, that we CAN'T grow citrus down here any more. This will be the THIRD year in a row that my citrus trees will DIE. Gonna lose all my herbs yet again. I get to start from scratch in 2023. Pipes will burst. There will be no water for days, and I'll be carrying water like an indentured servant in the original Colonies yet again. Not really sure what is going on with all these crazy Brobdingnagian storms. This is not anything like living in Washington, DC. Texas is NEVER ready for unusual winter weather, that is fast becoming expected every year and we STILL arent ready. Its politics as usual, with the small poor people like myself paying the price and suffering horribly. Every time it freezes down here, I have an extremely hard time. Just like back in Feb 2021.

I wish I could find my old epic opus about the Infamous 2004 Ice Jebwalk. Those, were the days...........
