    Been a while since there was much wind around here, so any dead/weakened branches might come down

    you didn't get the wind 3-4 weeks ago? it was pretty windy here, plenty of small branches (and a metric shit ton of pine cones) down around the yard

    I'm ready to move on. Sledding season is done with no hope of recovery and while that hurts, it means I can get out on the road bike and do some cycling earlier than usual and at least start making plans for the boating season. I think we're due for a hot/dry summer and while I don't prefer those, after last Summer's debacle, I'll gladly take it. Lawn might not like it though.

    dude, your lawn doesn't like any kind of weather. Your lawn doesn't even like you!

  3. the next 10 days+ do not look good for the ski areas. I am worried that my local hill is going to close early this year. that would be a bummer, as I have only gotten to use my pass 10 times so far. Last year I used it 10 times in March alone.

    Good thing the snow tonight isn’t about 4-5 hours earlier. That would’ve been a disaster for evening commute. It’s not a lot of snow but it looks like it could rip for an hour or two which will def mess up the roads. 

    good call. I was driving down 89 to 93 right in the middle of it. roads were pretty damn slippery until the plows came out. for a few miles I was behind a car on a single lane road (55 mph zone) going 25 with the flashers going the whole way. I thought I was going to have a seizure from the flashing. Of course there was a car behind me right on my ass, couldn't even see their headlights they were so close. once we got to the highway, that car flew around me after I passed the slow guy. i was really hoping to see him in a ditch , unfortunately  the fast guy survived. I am an agressive driver, but didn't feel good about going more than 45 on the highway even though I have 4wd.

    Just for chuckles I'm looking at the relatively useless 18z gfs more closely. coarse-grid gfs total qpf is roughly 1-1.5" for that system here

     

     

    This is all snow, though? And how readily would it accumulate?  Ahhh entirely pointless but hopefully there's a decent storm!

    analyzing soundings 10 days out? Shit man you’re better off trolling with a clown map

    This may be unpopular but….. I don’t think omegas posts have been unreasonable at all these past 2 winters. Is he biased? Yeah, but he is far from the only one. I also completely agree with the Pope that the pattern thus far has been consistent with a significant El Niño event. Raging STJ, warm and wet. That has been the theme of this winter, and it looks like it’s going to continue until mid month. What happens then is still up in the air. The reality is it HAS been warm, and it hasn’t been very snowy. If he’s posting 300+ hour torch maps during a blizzard….. then that’s different. Maybe the pattern does change, but when I think pattern change I’m going by great snow’s definition (a change to cold that locks in for 3+ weeks). 

    I had 28.5" of snow in January. the temps meant NOTHING with regards to snowfall (massive cutters aside). sorry you got shafted though

  7. I got 28.5" in January, I guess that is about average. I grade with heavy weight on snow cover. ground was bare before the squalls on 1/14, so half the month gets an F in that regard. second of the half gets a B with 15" and full cover. 

    YTD: 33", which is a little below average. but December gets a solid F, which means that so far, the winter has been around a C or C-. 

    i know that many will not agree and say that January was good because I got 28".
