March '58 redux? I am stoked! I am gonna find me a good Webcam in the DMV and watch it like a Sierra Special!

I see I am not the only one who has seen 2001 and 2010 half a billion times.

Snow in March! Snow in March! Snow in March!

Hey thats not fair! You get to hit 78! That's OUR warm weather! Mid Atlantic is supposed to stay in the 50s this time of year!

Dale City just got us beaten on rain tallies so far this year. We are still 11.00, Dale City is now 11.72. Charles Town comes in with 11.30 inches of rain in 2024. Meanwhile it is snowing again at Mammoth https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge Flurries also at Palisades https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=palisades https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=alpine

Hopefully you guys get good rains this summer.

We are already at 70 percent leafout, already TWO highs in the low 90s. Many days dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s. March is the new early May. New base state is demolishing everything, except my beloved Sierran Cordillera! Cascadian Cordillera, too! The FIG TREE has already sprouted new leaves and some branches had already grown out 6-8 inches! Wow we are starting our growing season so EARLY!!! We hit 84 today!

Many thanks, snownut for your pics and narrative. I see you love skiing and snow! I wub these precious snow pics so much! I must add the Cascades and Mt Bachelor to my Promised Land Destinations! I yearn to roll around in some of the deep deep powder in the middle of the night when everyone is fast asleep! I want to stroll through a lot of pristine DRIFTS, too, on the sly in the middle of the night! I might need to drop by that lodge and volunteer to dig it out! I will demonstrate Jebman Standards! You guys are gonna need all the help diggin out you can get ! I fervently hope you get palisaded with more deep deep powder soon. I hope you get in some spectacular skiing in very deep powder and stay very safe! Enjoy all that snow and hopefully much much much MORE!!!!!!!!!

I am absolutely in heartfelt love with the Sierras and all the snow there! Every Billy Joel track is beginning to remind me of the major Sierran snowstorm with its Category 5 wind gusts! I have been blasting all Billy Joel's tracks for days and now my relatives are not the only ones shaking their heads. Texans have never seen me in full snow love mode like this. This is now an all-out infatuation with everything Sierran, everything snow, everything skiing! I am in full Cambrian explosion love with that storm! This, from just watching a CAMERA in Mammoth! Imagine what I'd be like if I had actually been there! I don't like blizzards with 100 mph gusts. I like Sierran Blizzards with 190 mph gusts! The Northeast officially sucks, it is the Florida Peninsula in August. All the mountains in the northeast get is 4 feet of snow with 90 mph gusts. That's pedestrian! I saw those YouTube vids with motorists stranded on I-80 with 100 mph wind gusts blowing pow all over them with zero visibilities! Drifts 7 feet tall! I KNOW what I saw! I have nothing but PURE LOVE for that blowing snow! I absolutely WORSHIP, on bended knee, in full supplication, with tears coming out of my eyes in eternal gratitude, the way I should be doing with G-d, the blessed eleven feet of fresh snow in Donner! I am absolutely, perfectly crrazy for the severe blizzards in the Sierra! ELEVEN FEET! I'd be digging snow for MONTHS in perfect bliss! Those guys get 60/36 weather in Summer! That snow will to all intents and purposes, never melt! Take a gander at the 8200 foot Scope at Palisades! They have removed most of the ginormous drift there but you get the idea, that snow is DEEP! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams DONT LOOK NOW, BUT IT IS SNOWING IN MAMMOTH AGAIN! https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/main-lodge

You are gonna have so much fun in the white room! FOUR FEET of POW! You better strap on a snorkel, because massive face shots will be everywhere! Have the time of your life! Carve us out some deep prodigious turns in all that pow! Hope you guys get even MORE deep pow! Wow man, I am so happy for you but I am also so full of jealousy! All the fresh snow! Imagine all the deep stashes! Watch it when you go off piste! Snow Immersion accidents happen and you have very deep snow! Always bring along a partner on a deep pow day! Carry an avalanche beacon and avalung if you can.

That place is pure HEAVEN. Look at all that snow! Just wow! You got nearly ELEVEN FEET! I'd be digging and blasting tracks and wallowing in deep deep drifts at 3am in the morning when everyone is fast asleep! I would have KILLED just to have had a chance to SEE that strong wind blow that snow around! I LOVE the Sierras with all my heart! That region will NEVER EVER let you down! EVER! I will worship and worship and worship and worship and worship and worship and worship and worship and worship those Sierras and all that deep deep snow and all those crazy 190 mph winds blowing that pow in huge clouds that gray out everything and shut down I 80 for days and days and days! This song by Billy Joel will always remind me of the awesome Sierras and the deep snows and 190 mph winds! I have been blasting this puppy LOUD as all hell for the past few days! I KNOW what I saw out of a camera at Mammoth! 120 mph winds blowing tons of pow right off a lodge roof! I wub that stuff and worship that the very same way ppl worship g-d! I am right back to my high school crazies! HELL, I am fookin' WORSE! Relatives are already shaking their heads lmfao! I am a 60 yr old man all happy and giddy as a little kid over a crrazy Ivan snowstorm high up in the Sierras! You need to blast this puppy at at least 120 decibels to get the proper effect!

You all are NOT gonna believe this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We hit 91 again today in Buda!!!!!! Wow SECOND high in the 90s this early! Normal is 67! What's not to LOVE about the new fiery hot Base State?!!!!

Don't look now but its SNOWING HARD IN PALISADES AGAIN! Check out that 8200' Scope! Thats a MONSTER 6 FOOT DRIFT! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=palisades Someone talkin RIDGE in the West? Naah, I dont think so. March is gonna be BIG in the sierra! I dont care what the models say! Sierra dont care either! If its gonna snow BIG in the Sierra, It's just gonna snow BIG in the Sierra!

I am now ALL IN If it's snow for the Mid Atlantic then I am all for it.

That might actually not be a bad idea.

George BM I would like you to consider writing us up a freak snowstorm in April in the DC Region which is an UNPRECEDENTED triple phaser with the storm in a 40/70 Benchmark location relative to Washington DC. Please? And this biblical blizzard gets STALLED in the 40/70 benchmark position for days on end? Please! You know how to do storm writeups! Kocin and Uccellini should be takin serious notes from you! The storm has a ton of frigid cAk Siberian air to draw from to produce unprecedented amounts of snow over the entire sub, but this scenario takes into account the very warm oceans' input to such a storm resulting in ice-age-like implications not just during the storm, but well after!

Are you kidding me? It's snowing pretty hard right now in Palisades AGAIN! https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=alpine https://www.palisadestahoe.com/mountain-information/webcams#tab=palisades

We are gonna start a new thread. It will be entitled, "The Ji-WW Alliance Snowstorm: Our Last Great White Hope" After what I saw at Mammoth thru a camera for 4 days, I am officially batshyte crazy about 190 mph blizzards with 4-10 feet of snow in the Sierra. Or about any snow we can get in March in the DMV.

I know, I'm pretty batshyte crazy right now but I'm in, if there is a chance for snow in the Mid Atlantic in March. I guess I am pretty happy from watching 39 inches of snow get blown around by 125mph winds on a camera at Mammoth the last 4 days lol. If this can happen - Let's bring this one HOME! Use the Force! Let's track this to death! Let's see if we can salvage some snow in the Mid Atlantic!

Wow! TEN FEET OF SNOW! Sounds like a snow job lol! I might have to drop in on Donner and dig these guys out using Jebman Standards and my shovel!

Correction. Palisades did not end up with 6 feet. Last night they piled on an extra 12 inches. They got SEVEN feet from this mega blizzard!! EDIT: https://blog.palisadestahoe.com/weather/digging-out-from-8-feet-of-snow/ I was balls wrong about Palisades earlier today. They got eight feet total, IN FOUR DAYS! They have got a ton of digging out to do.

Mammoth is open. It's a massive powder day. Palisades is opening up as well, and it is still snowing HARD there! It's a spectacular day in the white room and you better pack a snorkel if you go off piste! Deep stashes are plentiful and this is a great day to carve out some great turns as we have three feet of fresh pow at Mammoth and 6 feet of fresh pow at Tahoe, with even MORE snow pummeling the Palisades!

Palisades Tahoe has 6 feet of snow. It is still snowing. They are planning to open Monday. Ski Patrol said they will be digging out for the foreseeable future. Damn I envy them. One pic of them showed a man trudging thru 3 feet of pow. He looked kind of punked out.

For you, lol. But for ME, There can NEVER be too much snow. Day After Tomorrow was not enough snow for me. Winds weren't nearly high enough. Tahoe's 190 mph wind gust at the Crest met my needs well, as well as insane amounts of the snow. I absolutely worship how that snow blew off the roof at the Mammoth Main Lodge in 125 mph gusts! Nothing on earth is more important, than getting to see THAT and blasting all my tracks at 950 decibels. There is NEVER too much snow. There is never enough snow. And that WIND really needs to blow that pow all over the place, in huge white clouds that blot landmarks out for weeks, severely disorientating travelers who soon end up just like Luke Skywalker on Hoth. I wub that blowing powder so much! Mammoth showed me all about that! I love Mammoth, I love Tahoe, and I love Donner. I can still get my fix from blowing snow off the Woolly Lot. https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam
