ski MRG Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 Not just a computer winter person here--can't be, around these parts in generalz, and where our homestead is in particular. Winter is not just a hobby but an actual lifestyle for several months every year. Snow immersion! Every so often, I tune out from the forecasts, models & discussions for a few days and simply just keep an eye to the sky, watch the signs & sniff the air. It's a good exercise for any weather lover. We've all got a deep-seated instinct to pay attention to the real world and it feels good to actually use & harness this trait. Winter lives on here in the hills. Winter does indeed live in the hills. Turn on, tune out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 What a great winter day, deep cold with bluebird sky, fantastic. 18 degrees here with sun and clouds. NW winds are blustery but not too bad. Just a perfect mid-Winter day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free_man Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Beautiful shot, just amazed at the number of people agonizing over a brief warmup a week away. I am glad Pete started this thread, all some people want to talk about is how warm it gets for two days. Look back at all the posts made by some pretty respectable posters, obsessed with how warm it gets. Winter lives and sensory experience as you describe is the way I live. You can reverse this and say the same for summer. In August we get highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s for a couple days and weenies are obsessing over a short cool snap, grinding their teeth for winter. Then it's back in the 90s first week of September. No one ever trashes the coldminstas when that happens, so why's it the other way around? Seems like hypocrisy , no? Enjoy the wx no matter what the wx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just had 2 days below normal in a row, now we're on path for another tommorow, then 3-4 average before our two day torch then back to cold. Heavy Heavy Winter.

Allenson Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Been trapped at work way too much lately....and when I haven't been at work, I've been busting ass plowing, shoveling and fixing broken things at home (long driveway, etc.). This weekend though will be about getting out for a ski & a skate and appreciating the absolute hell out of our winter landscape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKpowdah Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Incredible day across the United States!! The first day in many many weeks with radar almost devoid of any activity! The satellite imagery is almost equally as clear and the broad swath of snow cover across the northern US is crystal clear!! Really cool sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Winter does indeed live in the hills. Turn on, tune out. Yup. I'm ready to have snow cover right until April and am looking forward to continuing little 2-4" bumps to refresh things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ski MRG Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 7/0, Heading for negative territory again tonight. Have had more nights below zero this season than the last several it would seem. Very persistent cold. Looks like a few chances for a little snowpack recharge over the weekend. The Great winter of '10-'11 keeps rolling on. After a bit of a mid-month lull things should start to cut loose again. Really enjoying this one. Get out in the snow people. Great weekend for Winter sports is coming up so make plans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoarfrostHubb Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Wills pumping Windex Sat, looks good on the NAM GFS BOX hints at it p'raps? SAT... MID LEVEL TROF AND ATTENDING COLD FRONT SWEEP ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON. SOME POTENTIAL FOR PRECIP TO BECOME ORGANIZED ALONG AND JUST AHEAD OF THE FRONT AS BOTH NAM AND GFS SUGGEST MODEST MID LEVEL LIFT AND LAPSE RATES APPROACHING MOIST ADIABATIC. HOWEVER LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND DEEP LAYER MOISTURE APPEAR LIMITED. SO FOR NOW WILL JUST GO WITH CHANCE POPS FOR SCATTERED SNOW SHOWERS. LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO EVALUATE IF LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE AND MOISTURE BECOMING MORE ROBUST POSSIBLY LEADING A MORE ORGANIZED LINE/S/ OF SNOW SHOWERS ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
