Itstrainingtime

Sun is out here at work.

I had a private conversation with Blizz last night - I basically told him "you need to punt this winter away for your own good"...he's a hard-headed guy, that Blizz is...here's what happened:

I thought...I saw that Walt Drag said the same thing? Or maybe Rog said it in Walt's thread? Roger Smith punting snow is akin to Blizz punting snow. Now, the sh*t's getting real.

Good...there wasn't much in my lunch bag, so there's that. LOL

47 and overcast here just past noon.

Hey hold up here a sec - I think I can still find a few of my old 8 Tracks down in the basement...

I'm very much the same. My TV package includes 250 or so channels, of which I don't think I've ever watched about 240. I spend hours watching old Weather Channel videos of blizzards, 'canes, 'nados, etc. I'm not sure if I'm more obsessed with sports or weather. I can't get enough of either. Oh, and House. Gregory House. Dude is my hero.

Nerd alert! I have as well - the other James Spann coverage I watch a lot is from March 1993. Birmingham got 14" from the Superstorm.

All I see on that map is more feet upon feet of Sierra cement... The 77.3 is Mammoth.

I can binge watch that guy - holy cow is Alabama fortunate to have him during severe weather events.

Good grief, and good catch! Looks like a typical map for April.

@paweather - might want to start making plans to visit: They seem pretty confident that there will be snow on the ground until at least July 4th at this point.

Never good when the forecast on January 12th is highlighted with thunderstorms...

There's a reason why we're traveling to the Sierra in May.

6 to 8 FEET over the past 3 days. A few inches later today, 1 to 2 more feet later Friday and Saturday, then 3-5 more feet Sunday into Tuesday. They'll be approaching 400" at that point. It's actually getting kind of serious - there's only 1 significant food store in Mammoth Lakes and they're just about out of everything...trucks haven't been able to get up into town to deliver food and supplies. Caltrans is working feverishly to open things up so that the trucks can make it in over the next couple of days before the next series of major storms strikes over the weekend.

I'm heading to Arkansas (yes...Arkansas) for business at the end of the month. I'm ready for some Little Rock snow lovin'.

A lot of truth in those words. Who are these Red Sox you speak of? Are they one of those sporting units? I'm not much one for that...

My shovel isn't moving anytime soon.

Even in our darkest days...we still find comfort and reassurance in digital snow...

Milky sun and 42 here as well!

GFS with a wonky storm progression on 1/22 - 1/24. Actually has a storm that cuts but a wave forms behind it/redevelops to our south and brings snow to most of us. This was the time frame/storm that some have been talking about that could change our luck...it appears that the next storm behind it will also cut, at least on this run today.

Honestly it does feel sort of like early to mid November when you're still not acclimated to the frosty mornings and snow usually hasn't fallen yet.

The past 2 weeks have really jaded me. I went out early this morning and groused at the frozen windows and the weather station reading 26.6...and then I realized that it's STILL above normal! I've been spoiled by mornings in the 40s and 50s. That bitter cold prior to Christmas seems much farther back in time than it really is.

Thank you! I can now proceed to get my hot beverage and fully engage in my daily work tasks.

Thanks Blizz!
