Peeper chorus last night here, too. If it happened earlier I missed it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was a regular the entire time I've been here. Let's try to be nicer to each other. There's lots of weird and interesting people here. Let's just let people be weird. I saw a dude dressed like a fox in Walmart last week. I just barked like a dog at him. I suddenly identified as a dog. Shit was fun. I'm not gonna lie lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Its unhealthy for mods to embrace their mod role too seriously. Been there done that on a sports board - just walk away. People seem to have lost their minds more than ever in my lifetime - and its not just pecker heads pecking away on a keyboard anonymously. Just like our beloved climate - we are witnessing big changes across the board. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough of a recurring event now that I idly wonder if it is tied to the general change occurring with our weather patterns. I think its made worse by perception bias...because winter is so much warmer than "normal" lately...I think there is just this expectation it will get warmer as we head into early spring...but it doesn't necessarily work that way since the water which is a big part of why its so warm in winter is cooling by then due to the lag effect in water temps. So often when we get a very warm Feb-mid March...late March and early April might not really end up much warmer and that "feels wrong". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevWarReenactor Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 too bad about mappy. Probably abusive and threatening behavior by someone here who got butthurt over a disciplinary action. it does go both ways though as I have seen certain mods abuse their position to talk to members like scum and then hide behind their position.

Good observation - altho I think I am not off on the late arrival of legit blocking - that has been a recurring theme for years and years now.

It does seem that way...but I just pulled up the mean h5 pattern from the last 5 winters and only once did we actually get a strong blocking regime that lead to a trough over us for early Spring.

Jebman Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Better look out. EIGHT feet of fresh snow will annihilate both Mammoth and Palisades starting tomorrow. Two to three feet each day easy. Massive atmospheric river will firehose that entire region with torrential snow. Weather system will be vigorous and laden with moisture and extremely slow moving. This is a recipe for record-breaking snow tallies and utterly exhausted ski patrols. This is also a surefire recipe for folks to make fatal mistakes. I just found out NWS Reno is classifying this as an Extreme threat. Winds at crest will gust to 125mph. My heart is brimming with pure joy!!! Snow will be wet, very heavy and heart attack provoking to the max. Touristas will struggle. Ski patrol will get severely PUNKED OUT. I will watch and absolutely savor. I am a very sick pup, no doubt about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 You should see those dark clouds moving over Palisades! Wow they are gonna get utterly destroyed!!!! Dark clouds are also thickening over Mammoth. This storm means bidness!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Wow! Just heard that Palisades Tahoe is now expecting five to TEN FEET of fresh snow above 5000 feet! Rates will be 4 inches per hour for possibly 4 days! Local lollies of 12 PLUS feet on the highest peaks!!!!! EXPECT wind holds on the ski lifts, as winds gust near 100 mph at times! Snow loading will develop and avvy dangers will become devastating. https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=alpine Ski Patrol will get PUNKED OUT badly. They will be utterly destroyed because of avvy mitigation and from mandatory snow removal. This storm will NOT spare! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midatlanticweather Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 With all the squabbling going on I thought I would share these things somewhere: Things I think we know and should live by: * You cannot jinx with things by what you say or do. It is funny to see the superstitious amongst people who are science minded.. and it can be enjoyable! * Your gut feeling has nothing to do with reality * Saying absolutes in science is not scientific. We make educated guesses and test it over and over again. * Question everything, make good conclusions based on research, but be open to well thought out challenges * Even when being challenged by what seems stupid, and it seems ridiculous, do not let emotion override sound research. and always welcome challenges * Learn from everything.. that means examine it after it happens! Live, learn, grow! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next coldest was a high of 60. Most of that month had highs in the 60's or 70s. There were several legit chilly days with highs in the upper 40s and low 50s but they were all days when it was raining. I don't care what the temp is in a rainstorm, I'm not outside anyways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not complaining about a sunny 60 degree day, and that's about as bad as it gets due to blocking down here once past mid April. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
