Yeah...it's above 6,000 

...that's like going to Venus to gawk over how hot it is.  of course it's hot there.  of course elevations get a ton of snow.   

 

I mean, it’s all relative though.  That’s still a big storm for those elevations.  And the 7,000ft forecasts are only like 1,000ft above MWN and in the Denver foothills.

You can still gawk over it.

Just said this on the other page…and most of that humongous snow is at 6000 ft…which is Mount Washington’s elevation.  And MWN is only about 700 ft shy of 7000 ft.  And even they don’t get that type of accumulation.  Just incredible.

I never get that from him at all. Maybe you are confused with the pope.

Me neither. Seems like a nice guy. Maybe a little hopeful like all of us but I don't consider that a bad trait .

Hasn’t happened yet but any of us would sign up for the highly populated “Lake Tahoe communities” forecast of 3-6 feet with winds to 70mph.

6-10 feet in the mountains with gusts to 115mph?  It’s awesome.  Ski Towns get 3-6 feet and resorts get 6-10 feet.  With wind?  Dream forecast that we hope verifies.

I used to live in Tehachapi, CA at a little over 4000ft and whenever the southern Sierras were getting smoked I might manage half an inch of rain and 2 inches of slop if I was lucky. Hell yeah, I'd sign up for the real thing any day.

I say a bunch of us just hop on a plane and head out there. Went to place out for the next week. I would die and go to heaven

A bucket list experience for me. Fly out, book an AirBnB somewhere around 8-9k feet, and just weenie out for a week. I probably wouldn’t even ski either. No stress just enjoy.

Oh you’re back again, I figured you couldn’t be far after this morning’s GFS run. You must be getting ready to hype how wonderful, great and epic mid-late March looks. Textbook KU pattern and major blocking and cold is coming right? Stand down. After all your bombastic cold and snow hype busts this winter and last winter you should take some time to work on humility 

Obviously weather enthusiasts tend to show up more when interesting weather is modeled....is that an indictment?

He was in the same camp I was, which was above normal temps and near normal snowfall....I would call that bombastic. That said, our respective forecasts have not panned out.

The GFS is better huh? You mean the model that kept showing the phantom anafront snow run after run? I’m sure you remember it well because you hyped it all last weekend and kept posting the GFS runs. Yea, it’s a great model, absolutely superb. How much anafront snow did you get today? I haven’t had a chance to check yet….

I'm joking

Relax

Did you ever head up higher to experience the big snows?

Hopefully I'm as accurate about that as I have been the better part of the past two seasons.

It's a shot right now but good to see a signal emerge together with previous mentioned teleconnections
