Mammoth is getting obliterated by HUGE HUGE aggregates right now! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam One thing is as sure as death and taxes. It's going to be Socked In in Austin Monday. Multiple cloud decks associated with efficient moisture transport. No eclipse for me and that's too bad. But the Sierra, NEVER LETS ME DOWN. Mammoth is getting destroyed by gargantuan aggregates right now and the wind is blowing the snow all over the place, filling my dark heart with sublime joy!!!!! The forecast was for two inches of snow. Guess what? Mammoth is getting 13 inches of freshies today! Maybe even more free refills tonight! Those winds are gusting to 65mph but the aggregates are STILL 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER!!!!!! IT doesn't get better than this!!!!!! Temperature is down to a refreshing 16 degrees and the visibility is shot straight to heck! I wub this type of weather! This is how skiers get disorientated and stumble around, finally ending up like Luke Skywalker on Hoth falling over in a nice deep refreshing snowdrift, mumbling dagobah! The Sierras know how to party when it comes to major winter snows, making the Northeast snows look like flurries in a passing arctic front in Florida in January! It just fell to 14 degrees! The Sierra don't know how to fail! Mammoth has now cooled down to a refreshing 13 degrees! Now it is 12 degrees. I see why al the skiers went in the damn lodge. It is getting pretty chilly outside.

Sugarloaf is absolutely getting destroyed right now by heavy snow! Its piling up!

Sugarloaf is just POURING freshies! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K77ahIkmPGw I am gonnabe GLUED to this cam all night long!

Best place to head for April 8th is New England surprise, surprise. Austin is desperately hoping for a few breaks at noon, lol. It is what it is. I'll watch it on YouTube, and I won't even hurt my eyes. Next one is in '47. Hey, that's only 23 years away. That's not long at all.

Stowe cam is pouring snow too! This puppy is just startin to crank up! I am gonna be GLUED to this all night! https://www.stowe.com/the-mountain/mountain-conditions/mountain-cams.aspx It just might be high time for No Sleep Til Brooklyn! Sugarloaf is also gonnabe getting 30 inches! Check out their cam! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K77ahIkmPGw

Wanna see snow? Check out the Rangeley Maine cam! They are supposed to get 30 inches! https://www.saddlebackmaine.com/webcams/

Lot of sleet? No prob. Just walk like a penguin. You can always slide in on your ass.

PAINFUL lmao

I know how you feel. We get robbed of life giving rain often because of other goddarned weather systems nearby. Also, some G-D weather system on Monday (the 8th) is gonna rob us of sunshine lol. Yeah, I feel ya.

Jan 15 2025 was a Wednesday. That day the southern slider continued its slow march NE'ward. NNE winds averaged about 12-20 mph with occasional gusts around 34mph. The snow fell as flurries, although the skies became very very dark. Forecasters predicted a slow movement of the slider, which would feature very light but steady snows. The ratios were good because of the frigid air as well as profound surface frigidization. What that meant, was that all the snow would stick, from flake 1, and that roads, sidewalks, driveways, would INSTANTLY cave! The official forecast was for light snow to continue into the evening. N to NE winds were expected to blow 12-20 mph with some gusts to 34. Dews would gradually come up, but air temps would remain in the mid to upper single digits with wind chills generally minus 15 to minus 20. Aviation was already becoming challenging because of low scudding cloud decks and snow. That damn wind was blowing the snow all over the runways in spite of attempts to clear it. The storm was expected to generally move slowly NE and off the North Carolina coast with time, ending the snow from SW to NE on Thursday. Accumulations were expected to range from 2 to 4 inches in much of Virginia, Maryland with lesser amounts in West Virginia. The Appalachians would see more snow due to upsloping on the east side of the hills. Posters on AmWx were clamoring for Winter Storm Warnings, especially within the Mid Atlantic sub. Everyone else northeast along the coast was upset as fook about the storm and whiffing cirrus while the MA got in on a climo magnitude snow. PSU had three inches in his back yard already, even as most locations had only barely a quarter inch. Forecasters weren't clear on why. Many were very happy to see snow, but chafed at the light rates! Where on earth were the heavier snow bands? The NAM was a crazy outlier with over three feet of snow. Many were hugging it. The rest of the models showed a 3-6 inch consensus. This was why there was so much clamor for Winter Storm Warnings. So many snow weenies cried to get NAM'med lmao! Jeb was out on another jebwalk. He loved to jebwalk the so-called Outer Rim, the outer part of the 1.75 mile Potomac Mills parking lot. The flurries were blowing around all over the lot! It was really fascinating watching the flurries get blown all along the roads by the 20 mph NNE winds! At times, the snow became light, not just flurries. Where was the heavier snow? It was fun to watch the wind blow the flurries sideways! The snow was dry and blew around so easily! It was drifted by curbs and various obstructions. Jeb eagerly walked on all the drifts! A brief moderate snow band blew like crazy in the wind! Everything was instantly white! Jeb looked at the radar on his tablet, but all it showed was light green returns. No yellow or red, just a big huge light green blob! There was a thin line of darker green that was dumping some moderate snow for a brief time then it went back to flurries/light snow that just blew and blew in the NNE winds! Wind gusted to about 35, Jeb yelled WOOOOOOOO----HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! with sheer delight because of the brief whiteout-like conditions! This was starting to get very enjoyable! Jeb ducked into the mall because it was starting to get slightly cold. That wind was getting in his jacket and thru his gloves!

I think it is high time for a snow yarn. This one will be in segments because I am extremely busy where I live now. We are in the Spring cycle in Texas and have 234 decillion, 489 quadrillion tasks to do here. This is not like my life used to be back in N VA 6 years ago. I don't know jack shit about meteorology. I do know I am morbid about terminal snows and severe storms that have no mercy at all, with absolutely no regard at all for consequences to populations. I am evil and uncaring enough to happily write this and sleep like a baby at night with not a care in this world. **************************** January 15, 2025 was a very cold day in the DMV. Everyone knew it was going to snow. The forecasters were calling for 2 to 4 inches. A storm had formed in the GoM, was a southern slider and would bring the snow then move out to sea. Highs even in DC were only in the 0 to 8 degree range. Cross polar flow was established. A refreshing 23 mph northerly breeze was blowing. Clouds were moving in from the southwest and thickening. Dewpoints were around ~ 10 below zero. Jeb was happily jebwalking along in Dale City, with a grin on his face. This was because he knew a lot of snow was coming to the DC Region. In fact it would be way too much of a good thing. Jebs grin broadened at that thought. He worshiped snow, and lots of it! He kicked back on a park bench and happily drew a polar front cross section on a notebook, just like he used to do in high school in lieu of actually doing assigned work. Then he savored the AmWx forums on his tablet. SNE was grumping about the ma getting the snow while they whiffed cirrus. The Mid Atlantic sub was tracking the models to death. The NAM was indicating 3 feet of snow but was an outlier. The model consensus was 3 to 6 inches. Many posters were calling for WSW's. PSU was having to field a ton of questions about the new base state. Jeb daydreamed about trying to shovel out the entire Potomac Mills parking lot using a Jebman Shovel, and piling the snow super high! Altostratus was moving in from the ESE. Was that a flurry? Naah the dews were way too low, about -13. The breeze was refreshing though. Jeb read the NWS LWX AFD for the 79th time. Forecasters insisted the southern slider would move out to sea. This would hold accums to 2 to 4 inches. Many in the Mid Atlantic sub were hopeful the storm would overachieve and dump warning level amounts of snow. Bob Chill said the slider had upside, especially because the ratios were favorable. Jed happily walked the Potomac Mills lot, admiring the milquetoast small piles of snow here and there. The skies grew darker and more foreboding and the cool north wind gusted suddenly to 37 mph out of the NE! A flurry of snow began, leaving Jeb wondering how precip could be already reaching the ground with low negative teen dewpoints! The wind blew the snow right along the lot pavement!

You have a job in heaven. I love that video with all my heart! I would be digging snow for years!

Damn I hate Texas. This GD place is always cloudy with catastrophic rains during total eclipses. This happened here 600 years ago during the last total eclipse in Central Texas. I am officially cursed. I despise where I live and I hate my cloudy, torrentially rainy life too! I am officially shyte out of luck.

Uh oh more clouds may move in Monday lol. These model runs are tough to look at. Definitely gonna make sure I have enough beers and some liquor around. I dont drink much but if we have clouds building in tough for Monday, I'll drink myself right into a serious stupor, probably end up right in the ER, over a dumb cloudy eclipse lmao. There's always Sydney in 2028 but that trip is gonna be pricey pricey pricey pricey.

Why are the Orioles so concerned about Kimbrel as closer? I dont know a whole lot about baseball, though. I looked him up. Seems the Orioles should have gotten someone else on as closer. Maybe Kimbrel's salary? Are the orioles saving money by signing Kimbrel on?

I feel a lot better. California should have plenty of water this spring, if not summer. The problem is, we need to release all that water in order to save the Delta Smelt.

Count me in mate!

If we are I am due to get Reaped. Reaper, you better don that garment of darkness. You got a job to do. Your sacred chamber is radiating a hellish RED right now! I jumped ship, I believed not only in multiple deep impenetrable cloud decks but also in torrential rains that would have provoked serious loss of life and property in Hays County, Texas, on eclipse day and for a couple of days after.

Tip, I apologize for messing with your post earlier. I won't do it ever again. I really enjoy when you recognize a pattern then get into serious, energetic, enthusiastic analysis mode! That's when you start making those trillion dollar posts like the one at the beginning of this thread, and when I read it I feel like I just won 50 billion dollars on the mega millions. I really truly seriously love those posts you make where you analyze a promising pattern, setup to a decent blizzard for the SNE.

Thanks, Fozz.

Maine is clear as Texas, Texas as cloudy as Maine lol. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you lol. Eclipse lovers may need a new hobby

Well maybe there is some hope. Just in case it is cloudy, I want to make damn sure I can drink myself into a total stupor.

No I am NOT sure at all. Yeah Ice I concede. You are right. It will be thick clouds and good chance rain. For four days lmfao. Thick clouds with rain. Day before the eclipse, day of the eclipse and for two days after the eclipse. Talk about BAD LUCK!!

That'd be me. Lots clouds forecast along with rain. NE is on track sunshine wispy cirrus and nice weather. Enjoy the eclipse.

April 7 thru 10 solid clouds with very good rain chances here in Buda. Forecast continues to solidify up with excellent rains and thick clouds. Multiple thick well-developed cloud decks at various altitudes with efficient moisture transport. Probable low level fog as well, due to rain falling into 70 degree dewpoint airmass at 2 meters. ZERO chance of glimpsing the eclipse thru multiple strong cloud decks. Eclipse watchers, stay far from Austin. It's gonnabe a Rainer, a multi-day soaker. It'll be a Rainer to make Washington DC proud in January in a super Nino with a blazing fiery base state like this past ratter of a winter there. In short, we have a strong soaking Eclipse Special on tap not just on eclipse day but also the preceding day and two days after, for damn good measure!!!!!!!!! I am depressed and inconsolable. This was my last chance in this lifetime. It's just too bad. Go to Mexico. Should be dry hot and sunny. Need to change the title of this ratter of an eclipse to April 8th Rainy, Socked In Son Of A Bytch, Abandon ALL Fookin' Hope, For The Rest Of Your Miserable Lives Eclipse. I'll tell you what's to blame for this frackin' debacle. It's that fiery blazing hot venusian base state, and its partners in crime, the bloated Hadley Cells and fooked up MJO. Just like those sobs did in the Mid Atlantic this past ratter of a pathetically skunked up so called winter. Who's jaded now?
