Yep that was us

Ummm yeah….it was taken by my son.

Heading to Breck next week (2 days in Keystone then 4 days in Breck). Staying right at base of peak 7 all four days. These photos make me both super pumped and super scared! First for me and the family out west.

Heading to Keystone for two days (3/28-3/29) and plan to hit Vail on the 29th. Then we stay on Peak 7 at Breck for 4 days 3/30-4/3. Hopping they get some nice storms between now and then. Kids are pumped! Skied Whiteface Friday. What a sheet of ice!

I installed my 20kw system last summer for $2.50/watt

Wow

Snow squall warnings up…..radar seems to indicate no big deal.

I get it, but even the utilities themselves are already transitioning away from gas powered peakers to BESS. LIPA has already released PPAs for BESS projects to completely replace all of its gas peakers. The transitioning is happening, although it certainly won't happen overnight or at the speed we need for it to make a massive impact on our CO2 emissions in the near term. Being in the industry I have seen first hand what the lending rates have done to the market, but the IRA with its 10-year 30% ITC which for the first time ever includes BESS projects has helped to elevate a lot of that pain. Not all of it of course.

THIS^ Coal has already, for several years now, been more expensive to produce electricity when compared to solar (even without incentives). Energy prices continue to climb and that is why every large corporation has been investing heavily in renewables for their demand needs. They lock in cheap energy for 25-30 years and 30 years from now the technology to repower those systems will be ten fold better. Battery tech is increasing tremendously with large scale storage projects coming online all the time. Off shore wind, which until recently made little financials sense, now, because of better turbine tech AND battery storage, will be a huge part of our energy future. Renewables are the future, regardless of whether fo9lks want to believe in man made climate change.

Not clipper. Originates from west coast system

They are forecast to rebound.

Good! Lets get the sun out so it can melt the snow off my panels and I can start generating electrons!

Gotta love how the 12z GFS initializes the entire area with rain. LOL.

There will be no mix. This is straight rain to snow

you had to do it.......... LOL

Maybe respond to my other two posts above? Of course you won't. You know why? Because, again, the science is settled. While NO ONE can say that the warming we have been seeing is 100% due to man (of course it isn't as there are no real 100% certainties when it comes to climate), man most certainly has been the main factor in the increases over the last century. And BTW, I only put you down because of how absurdly ridiculous your arguments are.

I am also not saying that the use of FFs over the last century and a half was not a necessary evil for us as a civilization to grow. The thing is that we have come to a place in time where the previous status quo is not sustainable for the longevity of our species and our planet. We have come quite a way since the early 19900s and the time is now to use our collective brains to make for a better planet and one that will continue to thrive long after you and I are gone.

OK, that is a fair point. I, too am not saying that there are not general variabilities in climate over time, BUT the difference is that I understand that the science is clear that what we are doing is absolutely increasing temps far greater than if we hadn't been here.

You are clueless about the general climate cycle that has repeated itself since earths formation and its difference from mans continued increases in carbon releases due to burning of FFs. Also, I have a degree in Environmental science, but would never call myself a scientist either. BUT, I am educated enough to understand the difference between the general cycle of carbon on our planet over billions of years and the man caused massive release of carbon in just the last 100-150 years.

Ohhhh....so you're a scientist. Gotcha. LOL. The science is settled for your information. The release of carbon from the burning of fossil fuels that have been held up in the earth's crust since well before the dawn man are ABSOLUTELY, 100% increasing global temperatures. Its settled science Mr. Scientist.

For those that don't understand the science of burning FF and releasing carbon, which has been locked in our crust since the dawn of time, and how it is absolutely negatively impacting our climate and in turn our species should probably go back and get an education.

Trump lost......

No one.....and I mean NO ONE, start a storm thread. That is all.

Not "more amped" though. The energy behind it is delayed which allows it to cut. Later redevelopment and weaker.
