My nephew lives in Roseville, to the NE of Sacramento. One time he and his wife drove a couple hours to Tahoe to see 4-5 feet of snow on the ground, then drove home to 50s and sun. Man, CA makes me jealous

Imagine being in a nice cabin in Tahoe this week. Dailylurker would hike in this Washington's Birthday Snow. High near 33. Calm wind becoming south around 5 mph in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 3 to 7 inches possible. Monday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 16. Southwest wind around 10 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible. Tuesday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. High near 26. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 9 to 13 inches possible. Tuesday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Cloudy, with a low around 12. Wednesday Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 26.

It's been a rough stretch. If we're done, I got about 10" total this winter and last winter and haven't hit average since 2019. Also have not seen a big (12-inch plus) snow since 2016. The longest gap before that was 6 years going back to 1979

That was it for me. I know some get excited over long-lasting snowpack, but I am a snowfall bottom line guy. We got 2" qpf with temps in the teens and got 6.5" snow out of it. Meanwhile places like Pensacola, FL and Morehead City, NC got 10" and 16" clean snows the last two years

I had no idea sunny and 40 could feel so warm! It's gonna take a long time for this ice/snowpack to melt

You're in a good spot up there - South Mtn just to your east should help squeeze more out! Cloudy and 20 here

Sorry! I'm thinking I'll get more thunderstorms in southern MD

So right! We came soooo close if not for that pesky warm layer. We need a big dog 12-inch plus so bad! Here's the 12-plus inchers at my location: 1979, 1983, 1987, 1993 (not everywhere), 1996, 2000, 2003, 2006 (not everywhere), 2010, 2014, 2016. Average of once in 3.7 years and no gap longer than 6 years, and now we are sitting at a 10-year gap and counting. That all said, having a long-lasting snowpack in a Nina is a pretty big deal.

I just cleared off our deck so the dog has some nice sun to sit in once we get to the 30s. Breaking up big bricks of ice and sliding them off the snow made me think of the beast of a snow fort kids could make with this stuff.

Back in the 80s when I was a kid in Calvert, we had 6" of snow with a half inch ice glaze on top. We had a bright full moon with temps in the teens one night and it looked like a different planet with the shiny, silver landscape as far as you could see. We were taking 2-foot squares of ice and sliding them down a long hill. You could hear them sliding into the woods hundreds of feet away.

Funny thing about that is even Pensacola got a better snow (10") last year than we have had in 10 years here

Some neighbors with a sloped driveway did this! They were out there breaking squares of ice, turning them upside down, and sliding them down the driveway. Then they had a few inches of powder to push. Smart! Their driveway also faces south which is nice. I left about an inch of sleet on ours which is now pure, smooth ice

Oh believe me if we didn't have so much going on with our new house being finished next week I absolutely would have gone down there! I've already told my wife that living in lower southern MD and being retired, I am going to snow chase a couple times each winter. For one thing, I wanna see a lake effect snow.

Whoa it's February! Copying from the Jan thread: Our 20s daughter lives by herself in an apartment Newport, just up from Morehead City. We got her to ask her company of she could remote work a few days next week and get up here, and they said yes so she came home Friday. We are so glad because her area looks to be hardest hit with unofficial reports of 20-plus inches! Going down to 10 degrees tonight. That area is going to be paralyzed.
