    You guys are getting so much snow, anything udner a foot is "snow showers".  LOL

    Somewhat, but out here it IS more showery than steady, like back there. It may snow most of the day, but it comes in in waves of heavy precipitation, followed by lighter lulls, then hits again. It's definitely different the way is snows (and rains) up there in the high country.

    Soon these type of forecast discussions will  be written for CTP!

    I really hope so. I can't believe how persistent this pattern has been and how crappy winter is/was for you guys who love snow.

    And like I said, I don't post this stuff to rub anything in your faces, because, quite honestly, I wish we were having a record warm winter out here, and I didn't have to deal with snow up there when working. The locals though, are loving this, and while I don't care for the cool, wet pattern we're in, it does help the drought situation.

    This has been a winter to remember for my niece, who lives up in Flagstaff. They will go over 100" for the year with this next system, which sounds like it's going to be a doozy...

     

    Snipped from the NWS discussion: 

    Our eyes then turn to the big story of the forecast. A strengthening
trough will drop southward through the Great Basin on Tuesday. This
trough will have access to plenty of moisture along with an upper
jet in excess of 170 mph. This will lead to a miserable Wednesday
across northern Arizona. Snow levels will drop fairly quickly and
there is potential for several rounds of heavy snow as strong
upslope flow and large scale lift will interact with the available
moisture. Wind gusts between 40 to 60 mph appear likely at this time
which will lead to plenty of blowing snow. Model guidance has been
consistent in showing this strong trough moving through and
increases confidence that this will be a high impact event.

    I already am expecting that to happen lmao Remember back in May 2020 when we got a snow squall in May?

    I will never forget that day. Not only for the epicness of a snow squall in May, but also because it was the day I tore my rotator cuff playing a contortionist while trying to break loose a stubborn kitchen faucet connection.
