Itstrainingtime

Think today was a good example of springtime water influence at MDT - although there were other stations in the same vicinity...surprised that most were a few degrees below the 61 here.

Sunny and 61 at 3:15pm. Beautiful day!

30" of new powder overnight. I'm about speechless at this point.

There are towns around our area with Tornado sirens? I feel really stupid - I thought that was a midwest/south thing...

History in the making right here: https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/the-village Town needed 1" to eclipse the all-time record. Going to get a whole lot more than that over the next 15 hours.

Super busy all day, wanted to do some housekeeping here: Yesterday's high was 61, morning low this morning was 42. Received .44" of rain yesterday. Currently it's 50 with a light rain shower falling here at work.

I'm all over it! Mammoth is about to get smoked again - 3"/hour stuff inbound tonight. Going to eclipse 700" at Main and 900" at the summit.

Speaking of non-snow that counts as snow, my biggest event for the 2022-23 season was in central Arkansas. I did see nearly 2" of sleet at my hotel.

Gotta love this forecast for Mammoth for tomorrow night - snow "could" be heavy at times...but look at the expected accumulations just for tomorrow night: Tuesday Night Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 13. Very windy, with a southwest wind 35 to 45 mph decreasing to 25 to 35 mph after midnight. Winds could gust as high as 65 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 33 to 39 inches possible.

My forecast lows this week are all above freezing with the exception of Wednesday morning, which is currently 31.

I wasn't doubting you - I'm sincerely stunned, however.

Elliott's April outlook: Let's talk about #April. Many forecasters are calling for below-avg. temps and even mentioning the threat of a late-season snowfall. In my opinion, this is unlikely. Why? First, the MJO may be active in phases 5-7.. all of which are "warm" phases in an ENSO-neutral April.. Next, the Pacific/North American (PNA) pattern should remain negative. A strongly -PNA indicates a deep trough, or dip in the #jetstream, across the West and a mean ridge in the East. Thus, I expect temps to be 2-4°F above normal for the month in southeastern PA.

That is crazy though - I've had sleet with temps in the upper 40s, but 60? Wow.

You had sleet? Holy crap, it's 60.7 on my weather station.

MU just tweeted that some areas get no more than a few hundreds of an inch. Looking at radar, that's plausible.

As soon as the cloud deck moved in, the winds came with it. Pretty good breeze blowing now.

So far at least, the flag in front of the office isn't moving at all. It's calm.

Following your own words, just remember that not everyone lives in Marysville and even fewer of us live at MDT. There was no shoveling in Maytown for the past 2 years. (I had a storm that dropped about 5" on my yard last winter, but there was 1" at most on my driveway, which melted in minutes.

Isabel wasn't a hurricane here but we officially reached 73 mph in gusts. It was a night I won't soon forget.

I mean...2 years without shoveling is equivalent to us being under a Hurricane warning!

Same here - 2 consecutive winters without shoveling once. That's uncanny.

Welcome to spring - my property looks like mid April I'd say. I'll be mowing for sure on Tuesday.

Well...I do see boats out on the river down here in the dead of winter, but today it seems like everyone is out and about.

That's kind of part of what I was alluding to in my post above - being out today, you sense that collectively people are now in spring mode.
