87storms

I’d actually be pretty surprised if we don’t end up with a couple decent snowstorms this winter when all is said and done. I’m honestly more surprised at the measly amounts for mby so far given the cold air around. And even more surprised than that, that there hasn’t been a wsw level snowfall while I’ve been out west the last couple weeks lol. Seems like the pattern hasn’t changed a whole lot with the missing ingredient mostly just being a lack of a southern stream/stj.

That’s more my style. Cartoppers are played.

I have minimal interest in anything less than a 4-6”+ event. I like snowstorms a lot more than I like snow lol. Hopefully this winter includes something substantial for this area.

Yea it’s not about Miller ABC, it’s about whether there’s a southern stream.

I’m seriously considering chasing snow this season. I’m kinda due for a ski trip.

Meh lol. I may need to get a real snowstorm out of my system before I get interested in these nickel and dime frozen events again, unless it’s a legit ice storm (those can be cool minus the power outages). Driving in any sort of ice sucks, though, so from an actual weather forecaster perspective it should be taken seriously due to travel impacts.

On the plus side, you’re only missing minor events in this steroidal La Niña. Once TN valley systems and coastals return, you’re gonna be sitting pretty…and Frederick, too.

Just peeked at radar…looks like one of those awesome events where you can see the back edge of the precip before the precip arrives.

You’re gonna love it out there and it seems like the western ski resorts are slowly making up ground. Just experienced CO-style weather in southern NV actually. Yesterday was miserable…windy, scattered rain. Today…bright sunshine. Still kinda windy, though lol.

That is just an awful snowfall streak and I think Frederick has been the same. I don’t think I’ve seen >4” since early Jan ‘22.

Going into January with a coating and an inch (based on what my neighbor told me from the last storm) would be kinda underwhelming imo based on the start we had in the temps department. Gotta see if we can start getting some MJO-driven (which I haven’t checked) southern stream systems. Maybe this energy coming onshore to the southwest (which I’m experiencing now) will translate east.

Rain has commenced in Henderson, NV. Feels like I’m back in Maryland with the increased humidity lol. Looks like snow levels are gonna stay high until Thursday. Lee Canyon is a popular local ski resort…hoping they do well with this.

I had to come to Vegas to get a flood watch lol.

The most concerning thing to me is the lack of region-wide snowstorms (not this nickel and dime, hit or miss stuff). It’s become a thing.

Just posted this in another thread. Saw it on LinkedIn. Should have looked here first lol. That’s quite a speed increase re AIGFS.
