I don't think it's that amazing. Ehh they are at like top 10 percentile or higher right now. 800% of normal. One zone there on the Nevada/Cali border is 3,300% of normal. As someone who pays attention to a lot of the ski areas and snowpack out west… that’s nuts for almost July 1st. 8,000ft isn’t *that* high. Even 9-10k feet that’s ridiculous for right now. But I also get it’s the East and we just assume all west is buried all the time at elevation and hard to conceptualize when it’s wow and when it’s business as usual. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude ... unrelated but do you remember that story you told about the harrier jet back in 1999 with the golfers? It depressurized catastrophically at like 22K feet ... pretty much instantly knocking everyone onboard unconscious, which was a group of wealthy and golfers including pilot. So the plane bobbed around blithely on the wind while millitary jets desperately couldn't do damn thing but watch the doomed dance. ... finally running out of fuel it drove its self half way to Hades impacting a cornfield at something like 9 times the force of gravity. I mean ... it's not funny but it's like the hapless crew's luck wasn't bad enough for god already? - just to make sure, you know. I wasn't paying attention to the news but apparently that happened again. This thing with the submarine to Titanic that's been mentioned reminds me of this... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breckenridge is pretty much surrounded by 12k. It’s tough to hit 90° at 1.5k out here, but then you get east of the Black Hills and Pierre occasionally hits 120°.

Yeah I don’t know if I was talking about it but I remember that Payne Stewart accident. The fighter jets found the windows all iced over or something, knew they were gone. Then followed it until it crashed into some fields hours laters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just still think the Sierra snow out there is bonkers for this time of year. Going into July and lakes still thawing. Even Utah melted pretty fast on the whole. Alta and Snowbird had 850-925” or whatever it was, but they melted at a faster rate than 2011’s snowpack (also a big year, but not as big) based on SWE graphs.

Typhoon Tip Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 It seems pretty clear we had some sort of boundary come through here mid day, because we've surged to 81/67 ... and you can feel it KFIT is 80/63 and getting that particular site's DP to admit it's over 60 is herculean 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an anomaly based on what I have seen and heard following some groups out there. The sierra snow lab just had their snow melt out a month later than normal, but that is in an open area. They said there is still a few feet of snow on the road up and in the woods at 6900'. That was last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
