Expand 2015-2016 was pretty close to being a ratter here...borderline. But other than that, I have managed to dodge a true ratter since 2011-2012, however, I have had 5 consecutive and 8/9 subpar seasons since 2015. But that is how my area is relative to most of SNE...less variance. I tend to be just far enough north to get porked in huge years, and pull out some NNE scraps to narrowly avoid ratters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty cool how you can see the weak isolated convection (cumulus) dissipate the stratus field around them. Must be some weaker downdrafts around them that's clearing the thin low stratus out. It almost looks like that "hole punch" phenomenon but that requires ice crystals to rob the stratus of water vapor due to the vapor pressure differences. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand My 11" from last season will look like the Sierra Nevada 22/23 season compared to what's coming this season. We fret, and fear the ratter.

What did you get in 21 Wolfie? Expand In 21 we had two big ones, one in Dec of of ‘20(16th into the 17th 12-18”), then another big one Feb 1st here…was a real good one(another 12-18”). Then another nice one where we picked up 8-9” a week later(Feb 7th). I’d have to go back and look to see the exact amount I had for 21, but it was way over half of average. 21 was quite decent here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And their SNJ area never had the ground fully white last cold season - "winter" should not be used for that one.) Maybe we all have a different opinion of what is a ratter, anything less than half of average with not even one biggie to me a ratter. What did you get in 21 Wolfie? Different for sure, as that threshold would be silly for CAR, where in 83 years they've never had a winter at 50% or lower. My place averages 89" and probably only 3 of 25 winters were true ratters, 05-06 (52.8"), 15-16 (48.2") and 2021 (52.5"). 4th lowest, 09-10, had exactly 12" more than 05-06 but had a far higher frustration factor than any of the bottom 3.

Expand Yes and I am just far enough west, with just a low enough elevation, to get bent over the slab. That’s why you and I often end up with similar snow totals.

So I mean it’s just been autumn in SNE. Except for the first week(which was very warm-mid 80’s, the last blast of summer as Dendrite mentioned), it’s been cool to mild at times.
