Itstrainingtime

It has been snowing lightly on and off the past 90 minutes in town - there are multiple stream issues it seems. I checked about 30 minutes ago and it was showing as "live" but it was clearly night time. It's also been buffering a lot which is rare. NWS Reno upped snowfall totals significantly - now calling for a minimum of 55" in town and a minimum of 80" on the mountain. Worst will be tomorrow evening through midday Saturday.

Another thing about that Euro run - really nice stout HP (1040mb) in a pretty sweet spot as the storm approaches. It just simply isn't cold enough...

That...is one wonky ass progression. Euro has a relatively weak LP meander over WV/VA for like 24+ hours before it jumps to Erie. I'm going to say that this run is probably not the most likely outcome. LOL

MIght not really get cranking in the village for a few more hours. I just find this type of stuff fascinating. Has to be cool to be in town and watch it move in/down from the mountain.

Watching a blizzard moving into the Sierra is kinda cool - this is time sensitive, but below are 4 live feeds, first at about 8100', next is at 8900', then 9600', last one is the summit at 11000'. Note how the live conditions deteriorate as you move up in elevation and away from town - about 4 feet is expected in town with over 6 feet up on the hill over the next 60 hours: https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/the-village https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/mccoy-station https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/the-summit

@Bubbler86- Ralphie says to throw your car buckle as far as you can for next weekend.

Sunny and 38. Not too bad in sun when the winds let up...pretty darn chilly in the shade.

Nooner GFS also tracks a low under us next weekend...actually an even better track, but it's a good deal weaker, and thus...we rain in the southern half of PA at least.

The 10th seems a little soon, but your point nonetheless is correct.

The only shot on the 10th is for something to go under us and completely bomb out - to that point, here's the money panel. A 987mb low over Vineland NJ:

After seeing this morning's GFS output for the 10th, I question @Blizzard of 93 and his commitment to providing snow maps!

.30" of rain at the casa. Looks like another quarter inch-plus tomorrow night into Saturday.

Low of 30 in Maytown. Sunny with nary a cloud in the sky.

Blizzard - 9" of dry, powdery snow with temps in the 20s along with 50 mph winds. We had drifts over 6' in our driveway. This was during the morning hours on April 6th, mind you. Edit: it was a bona-fide blizzard.

We need an April 1982 event really bad.

It's mostly clear and 41 here. Very windy though.

Even the locals out there are talking this up. To go with the many feet of snow, there's the winds. Not the breeze we're experiencing- they're expecting 55 to 80 mph winds in town and 100+ out on the hill.

...either that, or he'll be outside on a ladder checking his shingles.

Here comes the front... https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/?parms=CCX-N0B-1-24-100-usa-rad

It's not good when it's "only" 7-9 AN. Especially in March.

60 in Maytown with a break in precip for the time being. Just stepped outside here at work a few minutes ago and holy cow, it's humid for February. Dew is 56.

I think you're both right - I always thought it was loudest from overnight through the following morning. I can remember some incredibly loud storms in the 2am - 10am timeframe over the years.

Apparently we have some terrified cats back home at the crib - my wife just texted to tell me that lightning just struck directly behind our house.

We arrived on May 15th. I wanted to see snow but didn't want to run the risk of getting stranded. We had so much on our list and as much as I would have loved to stay longer...just too much to see out west. When we made our plans we obviously had no idea we would be going at the end of the most epic Sierra snow season in recorded history. Had we gone just 4 weeks sooner there was nearly 80" more on the ground from when we were there.
