Itstrainingtime

That's what I've been saying - parts of Lanco has been a total shutout.

It's uncanny how the 12z Euro picked up farther east from where the 6z Control left off.

Oh shoot! Well, this will be interesting to see what fell at the tarmac.

I'll be surprised if they report more than a T - I saw no visible signs of snow along the river route this morning.

Here you go - forecast is for 31-37" of new snow during the daylight hours today - and it's supposed to snow through tomorrow night... https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/the-village By the end of the day, they'll be at about 300" for the season. On January 9th.

Oh I understand completely - I just had to laugh given I had just posted about parts of Lanco being still shut out on the season, and the first map to follow was...well, more of the same. In an extreme fashion.

That...would be a very cruel joke. Total kick in the nut job there.

Usually when the Sierra is getting blasted it's just the opposite on the east coast. And holy cow, is the Sierra getting the goods...

I was wondering about how you made out-there was/is NOTHING visible my entire route this morning along the river south of Rt. 30...there are still areas in SW Lanco that are shutout for the season. Even up here on the hill at work...nada.

1.5" for the season, but this is the first I've seen.

.5" here.

May snow is more exciting as well!

Yes it does. Only difference is that any area that gets 1" might see it last until 10am instead of 8:30am.

My forecast is for a mix of rain and snow with a low of 34. Not terribly excited at this point. Then again...if see a trace, that will be the first time this season I've seen snow on the ground.

Spent the day at Valley Forge National Park. Had a fair amount of sleet during the afternoon.

42.3 here currently - temp has slowly but steadily fallen since a midday high of 46.4. Streak ends at 9 consecutive days at 50 or above.

Operational Euro and EPS got really ugly. Discouraging, but we'll see what happens from here.

I don't know if Roundtop has better snowmaking or what, but a quick look this morning at Whitetail, Liberty and Roundtop's webcams and it sure looks like Roundtop is faring better with the spring weather than the other 2. They have more terrain open, and it looks like better coverage on the open trails.

Ah, the old "Snow TV" kind of system we often get in mid March...but not so often on January 9th.

@paweather - thanks for the updates. Much appreciated!

It's currently 46 at Lancaster, officially. If the temp manages to make it to 50 (perhaps a long shot at this point) it would make today the 10th day in a row that the temp has reached at least 50. What a way to run a late December into early January winter time period.

It's time for a little southern tier county loving...a lot of areas south of Rt. 30 in Lanco ain't got nothin' yet this season.

@MAG5035 geez, I had no idea it was THAT bad out that way - I just checked 7 Springs, and they're not doing much better...only 22% of available terrain was open yesterday. Not a good start to the season pretty much up and down the east coast I'd guess. Conversely - Mammoth Mountain was closed yesterday due to extreme winter conditions. You know it's bad when one of the big boys in the Sierra can't keep up with the snow they're getting. It looks like a couple of feet will fall on Saturday before potentially many more feet fall early to mid week next week. If those 2 high probability storms pan out, they'll be well over 300" for the season by 1/15. (and higher than that at the summit)

I'd love to have snow on the ground for a month at a time. That seems to be getting harder and harder to accomplish these days. Minus that, I'll always take the thrill of a 30" dump that melts in 4-5 days over 6, 5" snows spread throughout the winter. I'm all aboard the "go big or go home" train - which ironically, seems to be becoming more likely these days as the number of big dog storms has increased since 2000, relative to the previous 30 years.

That's right where we... I'm still interested in this time period. Not to be overly dramatic, but going beyond this time frame, if we don't score in the next 10-14 days, it might start looking a little dire.
