I blocked him long ago, and if you guys would stop feeding the troll and quoting him I would never have to see his stupid posts again. Block him, you won't be missing out on anything.

Yup, not looking good at all. One last kick in the dick for the year.

Man I’d love to see this storm crush us. It would be the biggest April storm that I can remember if we get more than 4-5 inches. As always with this winter, We are right on the cusp and im mentally preparing to be majorly disappointed. Ugh.

Recovering from second dose of the vaccine or actual covid?

Looks like about 50,000 without power in Cleveland. Peak gust of 62mph between 5-6am.

I think Sunday is going to end up being the bigger wind event as well.

I wouldn’t be too worried. We’ve survived much bigger ones in the last few years. Also, I’m jealous of your location as usual

The storm on Sunday actually looks like another fairly textbook setup for high winds. It might be a two for one kind of weekend! I’ll take!!

Absolutely. The most important thing for us to take wind events to the next level is good diurnal mixing. Im not sold we clear out enough in time but I’m hopeful.

Looks like a standard SW high wind event to me, granted I only see about 4-6 hours of high winds. High Res NAM shows a classic funneling up the lake with some impressive 10m gusts. We can only hope!!

I feel like this Friday Storm could bring us a short lived High Wind Warning event, would be the first in many months. The low track is tenuous though, would love to see it bump NW a scosh.

What is the original source of this photo, I’d like to know what all the labels are? Also to note is Bristol mountains impressive snowmaking. I’ve circled them in the attached image.

Anyone notice how dry it is?! It’s fantastic. This would normally be prime mud season but here we are heading into a long stretch of dry weather and the ground is already pretty damn dry and firm. It’ll be a great weekend to get some gardens turned and outside work done!

What are we considering snowless? Buffalo reported measurable snow on 3 days and a trace amount on 6 days for a total of .6”. I completely agree that getting less than an inch of snow is pretty impressive and rare though. Not trying to take away from that.

Wow, 260 acres alone could cost well above 700k depending on the land type. That's actually a steal aside from being in the middle of nowhere.

It looks like it has 2 absolutely enormous outbuilding/barns too.

Only a half acre, that's such a gip. Would actually be a cool little cottage if it had land.

I was working deep inside my lab today so I missed anything good This frontal passage is pretty wild right now though! Very gusty

The lake air is incredibly stable in an airmass with surface temps in the 50s and 60s. This is just a good old fashioned cold front with some decent upper level support.

It’s amazing that thunderstorms werent anywhere in our forecast tonight.

Interesting. Looks like relative humidity's dropped to around 30% yesterday afternoon in Buffalo. That's right around the breakpoint where fires can burn erratically and violently. Its amazing how critical humidity is to fire danger.

South Dakota usually gets some huge spring storms. Those numbers will probably go up quite a bit still. The front range also will make up a lot of ground over the next 6 weeks.

They mention it’s a low confidence setup and has a high fluff factor if it pans out which limits impact. Couple that with high sun angles limiting any real road impacts and I think it’s probably not worth riling people up. Does anyone really think they are getting 6-8”? That would tie me for the biggest event of the season. I’m not seeing it with strong winds and a cap around 5k.

It was definitely a bit of a pep talk. It's hard to shift gears and stop focusing on POW days and big storms but the time has come. The base is very solid and I think a lot of places will be open into mid April. Rain definitely sucks, but the few rain chances on the horizon look fairly transient so hopefully not too bad. Spring skiing definitely has its perks, no goggle issues or goggles in general, less layers, more lift beers and parking lot tailgating, soft slushy moguls you can just bomb through, bright sunshine and warm air on your face, etc etc. I dunno, Spring skiing is my favorite thing next to a big pow storm.

You booked a trip the second week of March, I mean that has spring skiing written all over it from the get go. Enjoy the the aspects of spring skiing for what they are. I'm heading out Wednesday when it hits 60 and I couldn't be more excited. The base is amazing, most places are 100% open, it's perfect spring ski conditions. Get after it, have fun!
