  1. Nope. On track for the #2 driest (trace of precip) and top 10 warmest Dec, maybe top 5. Been in the mid 60s consistently the last 3-4 days and minimums above freezing. I wonder if December will finish warmer than November- right now Dec average is 40.1 and November was 38.2.
  2. There are several good sites for ski area weather, but they're all subscription as far as I know. The discussions can get pretty sophisticated.
  3. Just an inch of snow here last night but enough to cause about 10^5 accidents.
  4. 2.8" snow here after about 0.1" rain all night. Nice. Roads may dry a bit in many places before everything freezes.
  5. And a Red Flag Warning for the entire state of Massachusetts. I spent over 30 years there, and fire danger in November wasn't ever a thing, even remotely. November has always been a time of cold drizzle and depression from lack of sunlight, for the most part.
  6. dang. I think the difference between 20"+ and 30"+ was mainly banding. We never had heavy snow, just almost continuous x 84 hours to get to our 22.4". There was at least one band just east of Parker that you probably got into.
  7. In fact, I was in NJ for the Perfect Storm. I had an overnight ED shift in Philadelphia where I was a resident, and so had the day to sightsee before I went to work. The surge on Long Beach Island was something I didn't anticipate and nearly trapped me and my car- was able to drive through hubcap deep seawater and get onto the bridge home with probably less than an hour to spare. That was almost a GIANT oops.... but got some fantastic pictures. I should have known to get out of there when the only vehicles around were news trucks...
  8. Yes, we got another 1.8" for a total of an even 10", and the band just south and east did not hit us, so those reports seem solid.
  9. Dang, we have friends in Moorpark, only a few miles away, fortunately more or less upwind though.
  10. Wow. 4.7" here at 11 PM. Pretty high moisture content too. Guess the old "reverse psychology" worked.
  11. I wish WPC predictions would verify IMBY sometimes. It seems like "cold, cloudy, windy and pretty dry except in favored foothills locations" is the safest mantra for last storm, this storm, and probably the next several. We've had <0.25" water in the last 6 weeks and it's so frustrating.
  12. I kind of hope, selfishly, that the storm doesn't happen too much or is rain, since my sprinkler blowout is scheduled for Saturday. In any case, I love how the NWS BOU forecasters are describing the ambiguity of the Wed-Sun timeframe: The last long term discussion used song lyrics to frame the discussion, so why not do that again but this time with a hit song a year earlier than Bonnie Raitt`s hit: "Things That Make You Go Hmmm" by C+C Music Factory. We think we lost count with how many things are making us go hmmm in the forecast from Wednesday through Saturday. We wish we could say confidence is increasing with time, but that is simply not the case. There are some broad brush aspects of how the cut off trough could evolve, but the problem is that small changes in the position and movement of the trough make massive differences in the snow amounts and travel impacts across our area.
  13. We were in Buena Vista last weekend and it indeed seemed much more like early-mid October than almost Halloween. Lots of groves of yellow cottonwoods still leafed out.
  14. Even a quarter of that would be far better than we've done for a while. It's been 40 days since we had >0.1" in a day.
