What exactly do folks normally do in the winter that they can't do in a Covid winter?
-
awesome pic
-
Yeah I mean this is about as big of a block of warm colors as we've seen since late Jan-Early Mar 2010... Possibly worth noting that the decline of the blocking thereafter only lasted about 2 weeks with the AO going just over neutral before zonal heights over the pole spiked right back up again. Granted, a late winter -AO doesn't guarantee frigid temps, but more than likely would help suppress any tendency for a big Nina-esque SE ridge I would think.

I take some solace in the fact that the black line is south of the bottom red line
-
131 cars involved. 101 to hospitals, 6 dead. Meanwhile when an EF-3 ripped straight through Dallas last year, zero dead. Puts things in perspective in terms of risk.
-
not amazing at all having seen the outcome... TARP, no arrests, monthly MBS purchases, etc. Why shouldn't they?
-
LOL enjoy this, 3 degrees and pounding snow in Denton.

Even out here where there is almost no traffic, 12/13/07 was a parking lot everywhere. That's the standard for 'came in like a wall'. And yeah... pass on that DFW cold wx please. Not really interested in how some old heat pumps sitting in fields are gonna hold up to maintain temps at least in the 40s inside the radomes.

Was about 5" at Berkshire East and still snowing
-
The 3km nammy point and click soundings on TT the last 24-48 hours didn't line up omega and the DGZ particularly well. And these tiny flakes do suggest shallow lift.

Yeah... I was referring to that other Utah pic you posted. Maybe the airbag gives you a chance? But the Colorado slide you're getting a thousand tons of snow dumped on your head, at least it would be quick. And this crown here is just stupid.

Chest high crowns across a football field's width. Yikes. The inflatable vest is pretty much a must and even then you're just hoping to end up near the surface. Many of us would be lying if we said we'd never been in prone positions, even in bounds and trying to be smart. But weeks like this really do bring the message home. You can't mess around. It looks so tempting at times but just not worth the risk.

This is the report from the CO avy that killed 3. It's a classic terrain trap. One of the guys was found 16' down and it took rescue teams with power tools 2 days to reach him. https://snowbrains.com/full-caic-avalanche-report-silverton-colorado/

I recall being at Red Mountain in BC and observing the ski club coach and kids standing over about a 15-20 footer... go go go children
-
This times a million... they're getting rid of the wrong model... nobody pays attention to the GFS inside day 3
-
Setups like this are our bread and butter
-
3"
-
2.25", small flakes, coming down moderately. Could have been worse.
-
The March 2016 analog was like 3-7 east of BDL-ORH-FIT but a very sharp cutoff west of the river. That sort of thing could be in play. We hope not of course.
-
I guess the one listed 2/8/11 was a pedestrian 2-4" snow around a lot of SNE
-
That Jan 2015 system that preceded the big dog wasn't bad out this way 6.5"... And we like to see the Jan and Feb 2011 mentions as well. The March 2016 system was rather meh however, at least IMBY. 3".
-
I think he meant he only tunes his skis every 5 years because he only skis powder. Not that there's a lack of powder days.
-
Is it bad karma to root against some folks getting snow even if it is not for one's own benefit? Not saying I do this, just curious
-
Yeah we skinned up at dawn and hit Flying Cloud totally fresh. Then got first tracks on East Glade which was absolutely mint as you mention. Snow had some meat to it and the entire mountain was skiing wonderfully. We're totally set up right now. Keep it coming.
