wxmanmitch Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I actually like the new skin, and more importantly, it functions much better. The old one made my Macbook get warm and the fan running a marathon. I'd have to open Safari just to view AmWx as it would run better in Safari than in Chrome, which is my default browser. The US has so many infrastructure problems in general, not just the northeast. Perhaps if the wealthy folks and corporations were forced to actually pay their fair share of taxes, we could solve a lot of these problems. The sky is the limit with socialism...how about a bullet train like the ones in Japan that runs from the Berkshires to Boston or NYC. That would be a huge boon for our economy out here, which struggles big time. Houses sell for way under market value and/or sit on the market for years.

At least another 36 hours...heaviest yet to come. lol yeah, that looks like upslope style fluffy dendrites. The photos are from some spotter that NBC Montana has been posting from. They were near 21" at this woman's house in East Glacier and that's her car in the above photo. That snow surface looks like J.Spin's backyard with little wind and big flakes stacking up where each flake adds like another quarter inch.

powderfreak Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 New update... no idea the time difference between the photos/measurement surfaces. If this person measured every 6 hours the totals would get pretty crazy over the next day or two. This is just on-the-ground snow and looks windless. A perfect spot if this can keep going.

powderfreak Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Looks like upslope heaven with the current northeasterly flow. Moisture and cold air moving down the eastern slopes into the northern plains...a bit of blocked flow would just wreck them. You'd want to be right there at the base of the barrier when that much vertical relief is blocking the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly realizes someone got more snow in September than I got all last winter. Considers life choices. Ha, I was thinking about that looking at the snow forecasts. Some peaks were forecast to get like BTV's entire annual snowfall in one storm. Then this guy with his trash can gets more snow in one day in September than Boston's annual average snowfall that we spend 12 straight weeks tracking for.

mreaves Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 That’s the stuff that drove settlers on the Plains insane. Crushing early winter after a poor harvest. Sitting there in your sod roofed hut listening to the constant howl of the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Cut Bank, Montana Obviously didn't snow 7 feet, so probably drifting off roof there but still... that's incredible for September. And Cut Bank is <4,000ft in elevation...like Picnic Table elevation in the East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
