I don’t have power, I don’t have Internet although my phone still works thankfully. The snowblower that the condo uses to dig us out is broken and they don’t think we’re gonna get any back up until at least Monday. I estimate we’ve had about 7 feet with another 4 to 6 to come. If I don’t get out on Monday which is when my flight is, Tuesday and Wednesday we’re going to get another 2 feet. Amazing. I don't have the words..... Stay safe, though. And thanks for providing these updates to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have a shovel? I'd be digging that entrance out for fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Smith Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Getting leftovers of snow locally, about 8" fell since 03z ... last winter the peak snow depth was on today's date (26") but today's fall only takes us from 4" to 12" and our peak was about 20" in early January. (Locally = 150 N Spokane WA basically, just over Canadian border). Part of me would like to see the 10-15 feet in Sierras (eventually) but we'll settle for being able to get out of our house. Katabatic, if you read this, would you possibly consider posting a thread of your pictures on central/western forum? Or just post in existing winter thread (I saw your post there). I will mention your pictures here. A-Wx has no active members in California or PNW (besides me), but a few around CO-WY region. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, from now until New Year’s Eve SOMD will receive approximately 100 feet of rain while the Shenandoah Valley receives one Planck Length. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living vicariously through you, though l’m starting to think you got more than you bargained for. Hell of an adventure. You’re getting pummeled! Keep posting pics and hope you get power back soon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure know how to pick when to vacation in a snow zone! I envy you and am jealous as heck! Enjoy the snow! Dig massive amounts of snow! Dig a snow cave! Have fun in it! You wanted snow. YOU GOT IT! You are getting a genuine Donner Experience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katabatic Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Greetings again from Donner! This epic storm continues. The entire front of the condo building has now disappeared. We’ve been taking turns at an entrance on the windward side, keeping that open (well, kinda) so at least we can get outside. To get this picture, I waded through waist to chest high snow. I have done multiple lake effect chases so I have seen some pretty intense snow but earlier today we had a thunderstorm that easily dropped 4 or 5 inches in 30 minutes. Still no power, no plow and no internet (phone works!) but warm and well fed. What a once in a lifetime experience for someone who loves this stuff. 18 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to experience this once in my life, 10 feet there? wonder the frequency of a storm like this.

Wow man the snow at night in the lights must be awesome! You came in search of a snow fix. I think you found some! WOW 9-10 feet of snow!!! And even MORE on the way! Find a job, stay there! You have found HEAVEN! The Sierra has got everyone else OUTCLASSED! They dont get that much in the Northeast. All the Great Lakes got was only 6 feet. I pick the Sierra! I WORSHIP Tahoe and Mammoth with all my snow weenie heart! Mammoth is still blowin hard, ground blizzard. Tahoe is still getting heavy snow and blowing all over, still piling up snow! As can be seen above, Donner is still snowing and blowing and it looks like they have gotten at least 9 feet, maybe 10 feet of snow with another couple feet to come then yet another storm in a few days will dump yet another 2 feet! Obviously, the Sierra is the place to BE if you love snow. The Cascades are another good place. Extreme high winds plus insane amounts of snow are the BEST. Donner, Tahoe, Mammoth win hands down! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day After Tomorrow was not enough snow for me. Winds weren't nearly high enough. Tahoe's 190 mph wind gust at the Crest met my needs well, as well as insane amounts of the snow. I absolutely worship how that snow blew off the roof at the Mammoth Main Lodge in 125 mph gusts! Nothing on earth is more important, than getting to see THAT and blasting all my tracks at 950 decibels. There is NEVER too much snow. There is never enough snow. And that WIND really needs to blow that pow all over the place, in huge white clouds that blot landmarks out for weeks, severely disorientating travelers who soon end up just like Luke Skywalker on Hoth. I wub that blowing powder so much! Mammoth showed me all about that! I love Mammoth, I love Tahoe, and I love Donner. I can still get my fix from blowing snow off the Woolly Lot. https://www.mammothmountain.com/on-the-mountain/mammoth-webcam/woolly-cam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
