Looks like we'll continue to remain on the sidelines until the 2nd week of Feb. Have had bare ground here now for almost a month other than a few fleeting DABz.

Definitely the worst season on record. People throw out 76/77 but they didn’t have snowmaking to supplement things back then. Fire season will be lit.

(Pun intended) I think developing El Niño summers(which we might have this summer) tend to have ridging and heat out there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McHenrySnow Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Got 2.3" total yesterday between the two events. Grass completely covered and perfect when I went to bed and then that wind kicked in. Now I can see grass in my front yard, so we better keep reeling this storm in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you would be happy with 3 one inch dusters in December followed by two months of arctic CAD and maybe a duster or two to offset sublimation? Just keep a steady 3 inches with zero melting. Stay below 15F so no melting on roads or dirty looking snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
