It has been such an insane year out west for many areas. You park upper level low heights in the mean over the west coast into intercontinental west, it’s going to absolutely dump.
-
Yeah Okemo has had very high remarks all season. They’ve been annual contenders for snow surfaces and snowmaking regardless of the ownership. Their local Ops team is one of the best operators.
-
He always seemed much more enthusiastic about snowmobiling and skiing when he’d be up in Bolton Landing/Lake George. Not sure what happened? Or if it’s just a perpetual glass mostly empty type personality that gets annoyed and needs to troll people who still hold optimism about winter.
-
Mansfield Snow Cam got just shy of 2” in an hour from 7pm to 8pm. Nice pulse up.
-
Interesting. The El Niño’s recovered pretty decently. Some huge storms later in 06-07 and 82-83. What was 1964-65? That’s another sneaky one near this season’s depth and that recovered to around 60” of snowpack.
-
All it took was DIT to ask about upslope and it starts dumping upslope snow. Thanks dude. The children were starving from the lack of bread and butter.
-
Yeah and 2006-07. Interesting the years that have low Mansfield stake totals right now recovered to decent depths at some point besides ‘15-16 that never recovered. We are at 14” right now. 1982-83 was 10” now, near 80” later in the season. 2006-07 had same 14” depth as today, saw 100” later in winter. 2015-16 had 12” today, but only hit 38” I think. We’ll see what trajectory this one takes.
-
Yeah nice pulse moving through the N.Greens. Radar doesn’t see upslope up near Jay as the beam is often above the low level snow.
-
Last year or the year before that? They get those every year. They had one a couple weeks ago. 70 inches, multi-day Interlodge closure. But I think I remember the one you are talking about. It’s funny they can get like a 70-inch storm and have a shitty season too if it’s only 375”.
-
Yeah they’ve gone over 700” at Alta. 2010-11 I think did it.
-
Haha, they’ve actually passed a couple recent season snowfall totals so far. They’ve had some low 300s totals that everyone says are terrible winters, lol. Now they pass it in early January.
-
Yeah it’s no 2011-12 type shitty winter where still getting big NW flow. We have a lot of like tonight with 1-3”. Some years those are 6-10”, ha. Also just doesn’t get cold enough. Like this past week we had a dense 3-4” of upslope that with colder temps can be 8-12”. We just haven’t had negative teens at 850mb which is the sweet spot for fake snow.
-
It’s all pricker bushes.
-
Gonna have to really thread the needle on that one. The band of snow is likely pretty narrow on the NW/W side.
-
Just keep checking out west... I love that they are now at 300+ inches so far this season for the Wasatch, they are issuing Winter Weather Advisories for like 10-20" of snow and locally higher in the Cottonwoods. ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM THIS MORNING TO 5 PM MST WEDNESDAY... * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 16 inches with 10 to 20 inches in the central Wasatch and Uintas, locally higher amounts in the Upper Cottonwoods.
-
Ha this is wild.
-
Highly skeptical of that for sure, ha. No chance but looks fun.
-
GFS tries to get it done a different way this weekend. That's a very unlikely way to go about it, but it keeps dangling the carrot one way or another.
-
It’s been rough. No momentum at all this winter.
-
There’s a “control” run but it isn’t the Op. I don’t know if the control is on these or not, but I don’t think it is though.
-
They’ve had some legit stuff west of us though, in the Midwest and down Front Range. I’ve seen those outbreaks referenced by many Mets.
-
-
But was there really measurable snow every single day in Edwardsville PA during Feb 2015? Ha.
-
Well DIT is going to rejoice at the 18z GFS .
-
No, nothing has really changed. The risk has always been super amped and rain. The EURO is still better than it was two days ago. I think it was yesterday at 00z or 12z the GGEM had 4 days of rain at 3-5" of water everywhere. The aggregate is still a good risk of a front end snower for NNE (especially mtns) before it mixes, dry slots or rains. The lower probability full "win" is just an all-snow event. It isn't game over like it is points south at this stage.
