Alpine meadows lodge at 6809 feet is at 535” and the 8k plot is at 662”. 
 

They are going to crush their seasonal records I think even before the month is over.  I think the record at the 8k plot is 707”.

Oh gosh.  I read that book during college back in the 1980s.  I had totally forgotten about it.

One sign of a good book is that it's better when read ag second time.  UMaine wildlife professor highly recommended Sand County Almanac when I was there about 1973, and I've probably read it 8-10 times since.

Pack down to 21", same as on Feb 27 and we've had 29" since then.  Peak was 36" on March 4.

That brings back memories. I don't know if it was required but I remember reading that for intro to wildlife management course at UNH back in '88. Also recommend Nature I Loved by Bill Geagan.

They are on opposite sides of the same ridge line.

Mammoth bows to these folks, unless there is somewhere else with more right now.

 

TTYL.  Spring is here. Crocuses blooming.  Tree peepers were loud this AM.  Red Buds on my Maples.

not sure what part of Templeton you were in but we still have a good amount left here

way up and in. Again I was really shocked how little was left there, even up into Royalston and high els there wasn't too much, relatively.

Maybe banding/orographics was better a bit E and N, e facing hills.. plus it was colder/less sun the day after (of course course few ticks colder).

Also the hills /mtns block out the sun a bit more too compared to N ORH, where it can be kinda flat right at 800-1200, for distances.

if you took 202 through Templeton/Baldwinville   that is a much lower part of town.. 700/800 tops..

I want snow

CO2 monitor near the base of chair 19 because of a Mazuku, a CO2 vent that has a 170 acre dead tree zone.  It wasn't until 1990, when a Ranger suffered suffocation illness, were CO2 measurements done.  Dead trees were then blamed on worsening drought or a pathogen.  700 years since last minor eruption at Mammoth.  (Wiki) #TheMoreYouKnow  Edit to add from Wiki, 50 to 150 tons of CO2 per day comes the vents.

In April 2006, three members of the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area ski patrol died while on duty. All three died from suffocation by carbon dioxide when they fell into a fumarole on the slopes of the mountain.[20]

Jackson Hole has a sneaky 515” on the upper mountain this year . Wolf creek leads Colo with 415”

Az Snowbowl with a impressive 338”

It’s been a big winter everywhere out west it seems.  On the whole, a deep western trough in the means for months on end, everything fits with the totals experienced out there.  Every single storm is an atmospheric river.  Many years they only see a few events like that.  This year it’s seemed like every event since late November.

300-600+ inches is a lot of snow no matter how you measure it.

2015 doesn’t even come close to what they have experienced
