We got boned a lot of last week.
-
Going for the +1 up here… 68F and mostly sunny. It is a gorgeous Saturday finally.
-
What a morning.
-
It is absolutely filthy with a winter worth of debris on it.
-
Melting rapidly.
-
Half an inch leading to more soggy ground.
-
The afternoon turned out surprisingly nice. It’s always crazy to ski when it’s that mild and humid. Snowpack crying for its mama. This outta help, ha.
-
We’ve hit 75F for a max so far. Finally gotten in on the fun.
-
Midday Monday will probably be a chilly wake up call.
-
It’s rugged. We’ve taken an absolute beating this week, though I’ve heard we still have better coverage than most. Lost 8” of glacial depth in the past 48 hours and that starts to matter when the snowpack gets down there. Still, Nosedive, Hayride and intermediate stuff was fun today. Hopefully patrol can keep Liftline and National going. Snowpack hasn’t had a freeze in like 4 days and have 4 more to go before Sunday night’s temps.
-
That is impressive.
-
Honestly that one wasn’t directed to you or our exchanges. It felt like good natured banter. Jealous of the warmth… 54F here. Mild but feels dreary.
-
Great example of funny, yet respectable, responses. We should be able to call each other out on our bullshit without dismissing data outright.
-
Yeah it was quite a run! Down to 44” today At 3,000ft. Lost 8” in 48 hours with these dew points and rain. This what 304” looks like on April 15th. Below average but it is a meticulously observed 304” and the resulting base depth is 44”. Higher up it is a bit more snow/depth at the Co-Op stake (closer to 4kft), but 3kft is a nice even upper elevation band for a seasonal sample. Nice inversion out there this AM though.

I’m so confused why the hostility over discussing a graph on a science board and why folks are getting A/C installed at a greater rate.
-
Well it’s an increase in frequency of dewey summers. The graph shows it, ha. I’m not sure what else to tell you.
-
The graph shows it well… sure there were humid summers throughout the period, but only three summers since 2010 have been below the average long term dews. Would seem to show increased dew points lately.
-
Amazing for A/C… more lackluster for heat but enough to take chill out in late spring and early fall before you want real heat. The A/C has been amazing from our minisplits. Dead quiet, cold rapidly, energy efficient with low electric bills. Given how recent summers go with dews, it was worth the $10K for a couple heads here. We just close off a couple rooms and let those bake lol.
-
We are really wedged in down low. Torch at the summits but feels CAD down low and 10F cooler.
-
Nice Fata Morgana optical illusions this morning distorting MWN area.
-
Did you really have AC window units running last night?
-
Just poured for two hours. 0.63” on the day now.
-
Jealous. 59F up here.
-
The natural snow trails are hanging in there. The mid/upper elevation band is still sitting 4+ feet of natural depth.
-
Snowpack at 3,000ft off High Road is holding at 51”. Holding at 60” up at the Co-Op stake at 3,700ft. It’s interesting to see what 303” of snowfall leaves as a snowpack this time of year, even with the lack of snowfall (relative to normal) the past couple months.
