February Banter 2026

If we're talking geo-engineering for more snow then I think we should mandate people replacing furnaces with heat-pumps. Make it hot inside by extracting outdoor heat.

Imagine every house in DC and Baltimore running one of those in winter. Big office buildings too. We'd get an urban cool island, it'd be snowing in downtown Baltimore rain in Towson

I propose consideration to replace all normal water in the biosphere with heavy water (D2O).  Since it freezes at ~38.9 °F we could gain a lot of marginal events.  We'd have to maintain a supply of regular water for drinking since in large quantities heavy water is toxic.

Starting to think winter might be done. Maybe we get one more non-accumulating event in March, but next week is gonna be a serious thaw. Kinda sucks because I’ll be busting over on my snowfall forecast.

Let’s go USA hockey!!!
 

I am watching now but won’t spoil anything for those watching the replay tonight.

Flew outta town to the Caribbean 4 hrs before snowstorm began. Returned 10 days later. Today, another 8 days later, I was finally able to get thru the snowcrete and shovel my front walk. Tough work !

MAMMOTH ALERT

Early next week Mammoth Mtn Resort could get demolished with as much as five new FEET of snow!

This is on top of two to three feet of freshies they just got in the past few days!

Pretty sure I’d dominate the super G downhill in the Olympics. I wouldn’t crash or kill myself

It looks so easy!

Models are printing out more and more Pacific moisture for the Sierran Cordillera Sun night on into mid/late next week. It's now up to 4-5 inches of pure water. When that moisture conveyor hits the Cordillera and is forced 11,000 Plus feet straight up - LOOK OUT. Its February. Thermals gonnabe NO PROBLEMO.

Massive travel weekend ahead. Millions of people trying to get back home later on say Tuesday next week will be frantic and forced to shelter in place. We may well be revisiting a little bit of the Infamous 2022-2023 Season there in that part of the world.

I hope and PRAY with all of my desperate little MORBID snow weenie heart, ESPECIALLY SINCE I AM NOT GONNABE THERE, RISKING MY LOWER BACK FROM A FALL, that the models are DEAD WRONG and that Mammoth gets twice as much snow as is currently being depicted. Maybe even triple the currently depicted amount!

George BM only thinks he is into extreme winter weather. I am gonna ENJOY this catastrophe! I will be eagerly happily watching from 84/63 Buda, drinking fresh cold well water like a hot horse in the Valley of Kings in Egypt in August, perfectly safe from falling on the superabundant ice in the Cordillera and also perfectly safe from easily freezing to death like the Donner Party in what could well turn out to be one of the worst snow episodes in recent history in the Sierras!

I DEMAND MY SNOW FIX! And, I WILL get it - in SPADES!

This has been a classic Jebman Presentation, likely for the Ages.

Please, Carry on.
