Ladies and Gentlemen, and fellow snow weenies - if you ever have the chance, you really should make a trip out west to Mammoth. You won't regret it. I know I miss it: Going to be some epic video in the coming days. URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Reno NV 148 PM PST Mon Feb 26 2024 CAZ073-272315- /O.CAN.KREV.WW.Y.0013.000000T0000Z-240227T1200Z/ /O.NEW.KREV.WS.A.0007.240229T1200Z-240303T1800Z/ Mono County- Including the cities of Coleville, Lee Vining, Bridgeport, and Mammoth Lakes 148 PM PST Mon Feb 26 2024 ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Blizzard conditions likely.

Winds gusting as high as 70 mph in the lower elevations and above 100 mph over Sierra ridges. * WHERE...Mono County. * WHEN...From late Wednesday night through Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...Travel could be impossible due to blizzard conditions. Very strong winds could cause extensive damage to trees and power lines. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you must travel, do it before the storm arrives as travel may be impossible once the storm arrives.

I think we're just getting high in general. Whoops! Not a very HR-like comment!

A balmy 59 at 2:10pm.

Yeah...CTP has snow in my grid for overnight Wednesday.

Thank you! I was getting worried that I wouldn't see any more false snow this season.

It is a regular stop on my lunch circuit for that reason. (and others)

I have the menu pretty much memorized...

CTP has me in the 60s as soon again as this Sunday.

Going there this Friday - today I took my lunch and ate down at the Enola Low Grade trail right along the river.

Went out for lunch...so glad I did. It is beautiful.

Sometimes I actually post more during the offseason. Feels more open to share odd random musings. Will you please provide a full detailed PBP of today's 12z GFS? I want to know how many snow maps I can expect at 6:30pm eastern time.

I'm looking forward to and going to enjoy the spring weather the next few days. Having said that, it's sort of depressing to see that the board is already in spring mode. It's been over 2 hours since the last post in the MA LR thread...sobering.

Good deal. I've missed these posts.

28 in Maytown this morning. Last week you shared an RGEM temp map showing Lanco at 8 degrees Sunday morning. I took the double over, meaning I thought there was no way we'd even get down to 16. I had a few anxious moments Saturday evening as the temp was falling fast for hours. The temp really stalled out after midnight - it was 22 at that time and only fell 2 more degrees. There were a lot of teens elsewhere; however, so undoubtedly some got close to that 16 mark. The RGEM consistently undercut all other guidance and forecasts. Even though it was overdone, there were days when the temps did indeed fall below all other guidance and forecasts and nestled in closer to the RGEM.

Joke-r is on you!

Yes sir. That equinox storm dropped 17.5" officially here in Lanco. Almost all of it fell during daytime heating.

It is - this week is the 6th anniversary of a big severe outbreak in February 2018. I was under a Tornado Warning, confirmed funnel cloud over eastern York County. That ended a couple of days of temps in the 70s, one of which I hit 78.

Temp fell steadily for hours and then stopped at 20 for my low.

22 at 11pm.

25 here now. Was 41 as recently as 3pm. Falling fast in Maytown!

41 and brisk in the shade. 41 and quite pleasant in the sun. Today isn't the weather vibe I was expecting most of the week. Certainly nothing like last Saturday's wintry day.

Forgot to add, .15" of rain since midnight. No flakeage this morning here.

Currently it's 41 here. Back on Tuesday my forecast high for today was 33.

They have a lot going for them that Roundtop does not - they have onsite lodging there as well...correct?

Yep, a lot of PA ski areas are now year-round destinations offering paint ball, ropes courses, scenic chair lift rides, etc. It's all about maximizing the potential cash cows at all sorts of different venues. They're doing the same thing at PSU with Beaver Stadium - they have the 2nd largest stadium in the US and have only used it for a total of 8 events a year...7 fall games and the spring game. Now, here come the concerts and other opportunities to add revenue.
