powderfreak Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 it's fine just get one of those helmets with speakers built in and play the glorious mountain snow reports on continuous loop as you plow through puddles. someone must keep "pissing in your Cheerios" as Coastalwx calls it. I'm not even sure why ski areas bother...might as well shut 'er down until perfect conditions materialize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The number of FB posts I've seen that say "bring on spring" or "I'm moving south" in the past couple days is astonishing. Any non-snow lover is totally over it already, lol.

Typhoon Tip Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Looks like a couple of rain events with rapid S/W translation/turn-over through the middle range. The first this weekend, followed by one perhaps slightly less robust, with only limited cooling in between. The front side environment for the one on the weekend is quite a mild look as others have certainly covered. The air behind is a modifying Pac polar air mass that warms while it's passing through, leaving a general above 0C 850mb until another fropa D6 or 7. It's after that fropa that I think things get interesting... Deep range PNA is really exploding at this point. Over +2SD at CPC and at least that much at CDC, and other model type ensemble systems concur. En route to that (16th-22nd) we could wind up with a major precipitation event over eastern N/A in keeping with Archembault signal. The NAO is even going slightly negative at that time, which serves a double teleconnector targeting into the OV-MA-NE regions. Small downward blip in the EPO domain in the GEFs is timed with a -30 to -40C 850mb air mass load by the Euro oper. so perhaps some cross-guidance signal for available cold. Bottom line, a recess in winter is not that uncommon. This period of warm-up and so forth was well signaled all along, but it has its lease.

moneypitmike Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Looking on the bright side, a few things to consider.... 1) it gives us something to track 2) no one will be accused of slant-sticking 3) there will be no confusion as to how much was "new" vs old. 4) people can take down their Christmas lights 5) do a yard clean-up 6) your cars will get washed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Just looking back at last years records, we went through the same thing and recovered fine. Last Dec had decent snows, but not as much cold. I remember snowshoeing through some pretty deep stuff for our area around early Jan, and then by the 14th we had mild temps and hvy rain. Almost lost all the snow. This year seems very similar, but a week earlier. I'm staying optimistic and hoping that by the 20th, we've got some fresh snow on the ground to build the pack yet again.

amarshall Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Zip lock bags work wonders. And it is going to pour! I have a duck hunting jacket that's 100% watertight. There's two front pockets for keeping your hands warm. It was raining so hard it trapped the water in the pockets creating pools of water that doused my phone. If you ever want to stay dry, Drake waterfowl jackets are the ticket. You can walk around with an inch of water in your pocket and not even know.
