I think everyone should take notice and go with the flow. If we all mind our P's and Q's when it all shakes out people will be happy. Maybe radar will get us under some yellows this time.

gymengineer Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Meanwhile, a 1-2" forecast for Portland, Oregon, ended up busting with 10-14" from downtown northward. I've been watching the local news streams. They're pretty dumbfounded with the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the neighborhood 'hit', even made it into the local paper one year. Son learned to snowboard in the yard, learned how to make snow and the conditions needed to make it work, then HE took over at age 12! Then he started building his own stuff, snow guns and snow fans. Made for one heck of a water and electric bill with two air compressors and two or three guns/fans running 24/7 for days on end when it was cold enough haha. I'd come home from 3-11 shifts and the yard looked like a small resort, lights hanging in the trees, snow blowing around, rails and quarter pipes (Yes, he made enough snow to build a 10 foot long 6 foot tall 'wall' with plywood as a backing) and 3-7 young teenagers running amok haha! Good times. One year between the natural and what he made we had snow on the ground until first week of May, I was mowing around it lol. Course, once the license was in his hands he lived at 'Shoe and the 'yard' became less of a priority, but he still made snow every year he lived here. Now he lives in Summit county Colorado still doing what he loves, boarding and snow. Love Summit county. What part? Used to go out there in spring often to hit up A basin. Nothing like flying down pavallicini with an audience on the sun deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jebman Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If we cant get pure snow in N VA, I demand massive amounts of freezing rain and sleet. I want a SEVERE ICE STORM WARNING for a couple of inches of sleet and ZR, in a 20 degree environment. That way it ALL freezes hard, and then I will go out on one EPIC ICE JEBWALK. I will dance like the late Michael Jackson, on the ice, in ordinary shoes. I am the best ice jebwalker in modern times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Balti Zen Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Also, a weird amount of upset and teeth gnashing over Saturday in the dedicated thread. Seems to me, in this pattern, if we can fluke into anything, it's a nice gift. It's not like we are chasing a 12-24 inch storm or some such.

Normally I'd like to see snow regardless, but I have to head down 81 Saturday morning about 7 am. Not really excited about the prospect of starting that trip with a couple inches of snow and/or sleet/freezing drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to go at least once a year but with the family and all don't get out there as often lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
