I suspect that was an extremely well done forecast despite my desperate grasp for a warning.... Mrs. But overall I think the storm behaved fairly well, as did the forecasters. Nobody got sucked in by NAM QPF, or waffling warmer and colder solutions. We look like we stayed consistently colder than guidance, and put out some good warnings. I know the impacts between 5.5" and 6.5" are pretty similar, but those numbers matter at the end of the year for us. We got brutalized last winter on a bunch of 4-8" events that we either over-warned or under-warned. It's nice to get one right to start the year off.

Not getting sucked into the NAM QPF is always a key obstacle to avoid in these events...and while I like the RGEM it can occasionally go too high as well. But I think it did pretty well in this one. Might have been slightly high in that jackpot zone over C NH but otherwise pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely took note of the NCAR ensemble ticking colder in the last minutes there as snow was breaking out. It's a shame it only runs once a day, but it would be nice if becomes a good trend tool.

Professional Lurker Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I owe you a thanks because when you posted the $12 deal that directly lead to us being there today... We drove up 116 to 112 and can attest to the 6-7" reports in the higher parts of GC. I'd say 7-8" at the mountain. (4" IMBY) I thought the skiing was fantastic. It's a pleasure to have that kind of snow on the base. Not sure there was a noisy turn the entire day, nothing groomed, small bumps everywhere by afternoon. Seemed like 3/4ths of the trails were open and good edge to edge. Big crowd in the parking lot but the mountain spread them out very well with zero liftlines. Should ski well the next few days as well.Glad it worked out for you! I've never been a big powder guy. I always love the day after the powder day. True "hero snow."Maybe it's because I'm not a fan of being in the back seat? Maybe it's because I'm not in shape? I dunno. I've always felt the urge to venture into fresh snow. Every time I think it sucks. I'm sure it's much different out west. Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have just pointed out to me, my unconscious biases. I assumed you were male. I feel like an idiot. I think it is the banter you have engaged in that I was interpreting as male. LOL.

OSUmetstud Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Approximately 6" now. Had a bit of fzdz 90 minutes ago under the dryslot. 700mb trough swinging back in from the northwest looks pretty ferocious. Should be able to pull off at least 8". https://weather.gc.ca/radar/index_e.html?id=WTP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
