It’s depressing to admit But waiting 8 months to root for snow when it’s so hard near the coast is like rooting for the jets . You just do it because there are no better options for you .

Could’ve scored something a little bigger (even if advisory) in either early December or more recently after 12/17 but it hasn’t happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a little bit frustrating because while the pattern has kind of been crappy, it’s been nothing like other years with similar results. This type of snowless start to the season happens roughly once per decade in ORH. Last instances going into New Years this low were 2015, 2006, and 1999. Those years were just CONUS-wide chinook torches that never had anyone expecting snow. But this year has at least had some semblance of a few chances even if facing some headwinds. But still mostly skunked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxeyeNH Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 We put a new roof on the house this fall. It's a composite plastic shake made by a company called DaVinci. Similarly slippery as metal I guess. Here is a picture of the roof. This south side just let go. My weather cam is next to the door in the center. I just made this video from it of the avalanche. 6 seconds into the video. Turn your volume down first. If 3" of snow does this I can't wait until we get our first 1 footer. The cats are still in hiding. The pole is my Davis anamometer. The weather station is out in the field not in view. https://video.nest.com/clip/107c1b216d6b4f9595463752c48591f5.mp4 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still mostly skunked. Lots of "chances" - we've had 18 days this month with frozen precip, 11 with measurable snow, for 12.3" total, a few inches BN. Hard to get that modest total with all those chances. Mixed events on the 6th, 11th, 16th and 22nd, each with ZR as the major component. Only the snow on 12/18 was a hit. Lots of messies plus numerous dying quail events, but at least the ground is white - 20 of 24 at this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advantage of having lots of mixed crap in the snow is that you really solidify the pack and it also makes the snow banks look huge. I’ve had snow/sleet events of 4 inches that have bigger snow banks and piles than a 10-12 inch fluff bomb. Now that you have the glacier, just need the powder events on top.

Yeah the depth is at 7" with 1.89" of w.e. going back to last weekend. So that's a solid 3.7:1 sleet ratio assuming all of that ZR froze into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it looks like Fishers is close to freezing too, so maybe @StormSurge can provide an observation? Merry Christmas, Mike! Sorry, just saw this. For the record, there was no icing here. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
