Oddly quiet in here.....wtf

Stand pat bro.....

Don't forget the chain and padlock for the genny......

My point was that in the Sierra Nevada range or any mountain range where you get a ton of snow that criteria is easily met basically every storm......I mean the wind over some of the mountain tops is easily 60+ mph and its not uncommon to gust over 90.........and yet I don't remember blizzard warnings being hoisted for every storm back when I regularly used to drive to Lake Tahoe many times per winter......it was always Winter Storm Warnings.......so the question is what makes NWS out of Sacramento issue blizzard warnings - some higher criteria? Actually now that I'm looking at STO site the blizzard warnings are actually for the lower elevations and they have a regular winter storm warning along the spine of the Sierra.....maybe its elevation dependent.....where blizzard criteria is less likely to be met for a given storm

Ya that’s my point.....the folks that live in South Lake Tahoe scoff at the folks in Boston when it comes to bizzys I think.....which is why I asked if NWS has different criteria for blizzy warnings depending on location....

Hey guys I have a question......didn't want to muck up the storm threat thread so the banter thread seems appropriate......so I often check CA weather forecast since as most of you know I am from there......Bay Area to be specific....anyway right now there are actual blizzy warnings up in the Sierra range for this big ole system coming onshore now......question is are there different criteria for blizzy warnings depending on the location? In most cases when I was living in CA it would only be Winter Storm Warnings for this area.....I'm talking foothills east of Sacramento and then the Lake Tahoe area......seems a blizzy warning is rare out there maybe cuz the severity of the storms are high compared to other parts of the country....like here I know theres something about 3 hrs of sustained wind greater than 30 mph or something during heavy snow......but out west in Lake Tahoe that seems easy to achieve so I'm wondering if NWS has different criteria based on region? It just seemed weird to see the red blizzy on the map when I checked.......epic snows forecast up there anyway.....4-5 feet lol

I know.....

lol....I'm literally sitting on the 2.7 in CT as I type this......and my house is under the 2.4.....lol

Dude it’s coming.....I promise

Ya......we're almost there......

Ya....everything was going great until the end.....lame

^lol bird box......ya.....its over man....game over

Probably just a close CG strike......the leaves thing may contribute a bit but those close CG strikes are amazingly loud.......

just hummin along the old futility train still........this sucks so bad

I thought the big fat red NO on the map was entertaining......lol

Oh geez.......

It’s just a season where snow is difficult.....sometimes it’s easy....this isn’t the year....junk

Indeed.....this is it folks....it’s this one and then it’s ovah....lolz

Ahaahahahahahah,....so great bro

You’re literally like 4 weeks away from eating shit.....that’s how thin this is bro....I want you to be right....at this point I’m hedging....

I'm gonna hang out in here for a while.......theres literally no hope on the horizon.......day after day and the 360 hour threat stays at 360 hours.....what a joke this is.......but hey - stay optimistic we're told.......lol

Isn't this what DT was talking about a week or two ago? The video he made was interesting......40/70 or ORH posted it....

Solid attempt at a calming voice.....I should just move back to Lake Tahoe......all my issues would be taken care of......handily

That was our first “real” storm in our first winter season after moving here in Aug 2004.....I even remember HFD county getting included in the blizzy warning late in the game and the 20+ forecast amounts as late as the onset of snow heading into the evening hours.....then we only got like 12” here in WeHa....not sure if the blizzy verified.....I was bummed

Is it me or is this thread playing out like the 2016 election thread.....lol
