Belleayre today with fantastic conditions!

The crisis out west continues. As I sit in SLC, which received 3 inches of snow this year and is expecting more AN temps this week, a realization that a crisis is coming to the Colorado River this summer that we havent seen before. It looks like winter at Brighton, but you have to get above 7000 feet to get snow cover…and even then it is a fraction of normal.

It was in the 70s to 80 well up into the mountains which is astounding

oh yeah, next year is gonna suck. I said that a month ago.

I don’t know what science book or meteorological book you’re looking at, this is a scientific forum and March Absolutely is a winter month. this has to be one of the most ill-informed posts I’ve ever read on here

I put this in the other thread. Anybody grading this winter has to include this brutal march. This lowers the grade for the whole winter. 3/10 and 80 is like Early Dec and 80

Belleayre Today. Great Snow! 72F on car thermo. 81F at New Paltz on 87

you can’t give an A grade to New York City with a March like this. Really a brutal end to winter

The problem with this extreme warmth this early is that it really kills the march ski season. For those who like to ski it’s annoying. But more importantly for these depressed mountain towns it really has an affect on employment very sad end to what was a great ski season. about a month early. they’ll hang on for a few more weeks, but people just stop going.

Westchester NY A- 2 week warmth in January, followed by 70 air in early March really pulled down the grade. The early warmth really killed ski season after a great year and that particularly annoyed me. There was also a 3 week period of clinging to old snow in extreme cold that was saved by a January storm

Thunderstorm! Wow! With snow on the ground

Next winter is going to suck.

Moderate snow with full snow cover. Enter March…mark my words, we are not done yet

You do know that that is a function of a human clock only and has no effect on length of day at all?

I think the non linear factors such as the Pacific effecting the jetstream which affects storm track really threw the bigger storm/more moisture overriding warmer winter equation out the window. The whole process is getting messed up and it is a net negative for average snowfall
