Hardwick has been sort of a nexus of the local food movement. There was even a book written about it, The Town That Food Saved. https://benhewitt.net/about/excerpt-from-the-town-that-food-saved/ I can't wait until we take over forecast responsibility for that area.

snowman21 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 You'd have to give me odds to bet on anything below normal. We rack up AN vs. BN months at what a 3:1 clip? I looked at the dailies for the last decade at the five SNE climo sites a while back and IIRC AN (+5 or warmer) days occurred about one-third of the time, and below normal (-5 or colder) about 10-12% of days. Thought for sure December was gonna put up a negative monthly departure after that nice start....but nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that makes this year "worse than last", it means one roots for brown ground and warm rain all winter. Edit: Meant 12/31/15, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORH_wxman Posted January 4, 2017 Author Share Posted January 4, 2017 Man, they are getting annihilated in the Sierras. I love following these events there...I experienced two of them in my time out there when my aunt had a condo at the Alpine Meadows base...it's something else. They've had like 5 feet of snow in the past 2 days with probably another 20"+ today incoming. Looks like plenty more on the way too in the next 10 days. Good for them though...what they experienced a couple years ago was historically awful...maybe only rivaled by '76-'77, and last year wasn't good either even if it wasn't as bad as the previous year. Just a firehose of moisture hitting the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I experienced a storm there was Feb '94...was out there on school vacation week. We arrived in the latter stages of one of their storms. Took the train from Oakland which was a good thing because Donner Pass was closed off on I-80...takes a lot more to close the train down. They had already gotten about 4 feet of snow when we arrived and the storm lasted another 36 hours or so...and dropped an additional 3 feet (most of that fell in the next 18 hours). I couldn't believe the snow pack and just how much snow falls at once there. I also experienced a big one in March '99 there...the pack in Mar '99 was out of control though. It made every other time I went there seem pathetic, if that's even possible. The '98-'99 year had been off the charts, so I got to see a majority of the winter's worth of snowfall. They had to have 20-25 feet OTG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome......Donner Pass is so sketchy sometimes when it's still open but pounding snow at like 2am when nobody is on the road.....I spun my car out once descending into Trucker after going over the pass....luckily nobody was in the road and I didn't go into a bank.....also the train option is interesting....did you stop in Trucker? We always drove but a train sounds much less stressful.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dendrite Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 What's the typical highest residential locations there? Most of those Tahoe ASOS sites are 6000-7000' I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those Tahoe ASOS sites are 6000-7000' I believe. Kirkwood gets around 8,000 feet for some of the residential stuff, but most of them are in the 7k range at the base of the resorts that I know of. I think the highest ASOS there is the South Tahoe airport one at around 6300 feet...but I hate that ASOS since it's probably in the worst downslope location possible. It's the Tahoe version of KHIE. Truckee is a bit better but they also get downsloped some and they are not as high as South Tahoe. Blue Canyon is a good spot, but it's only about 5k...so they can often be raining while it is ripping at the resorts 2k higher. I really wish they had an ASOS at Soda Springs around 6k feet.

That's gonna be a doozy...like maybe a foot of snow on the front end, then several inches of rain as snow levels go to like 9k feet, and then probably 1-2 feet is pretty cold powder on the back end.
