i wonder if that guy is doing his videos' again

Yes - he's releasing a new one likely tomorrow after cleaning up from this blizzard. Here's his first video of the season after last week's storm:

*By the way - notice that he has front doors on his house on both levels so that he can exit once the bottom half of his house disappears.

Made it to 61.  Down to 60 now.  TXV, CXY. MU made 60.  LNS may have made 60.  MUI made 59 or 60.

We stayed in what's called "The Village" which is why I often link that specific webcam here. It's in very close proximity to the gondola station. 

There are actually 2 separate gondolas in Mammoth - one is essentially a touristy thing that takes you from the Village to one of the lodges. It's completely free, and it's the one you see in the cams. It was fine.

The 2nd takes you from Mammoth's main lodge to the 11.053' summit. It costs close to $40/person. We LOVED that ride! The views at the top were incredible. And the snow in mid May was still well over 150" in depth. (It was nearly 100" at the base, lol)

ITT pulled off a 60 as well.

You won't regret it - the Sierra in California is stunning. You'll be close (couple of hours) to Yosemite which is breathtaking but also incredibly packed with people. 

There's a direct highway from the LA Basin straight to an exit in the Sierra that's only about 5 miles from Mammoth. From memory it takes about 5 hours to get there, but the change in scenery from LA to the Sierra is unforgettable. A YouTube video is easily found online for the entire drive.

Nam just came in colder for Thursday and says snow not far from MDT. But alas, it's the Nam.

GFS has not changed much in quite a few runs.  Sloppy/TV snow N Pa, warmer rain south PA.   All data points are above freezing all day Thur.   Nam not that far off from it.

LES is going to be really cranking over the weekend. That could be the best bang.

Yeaaa. We have to work tmrw and didn’t want to go to done and wait until 7 to leave. Oddly leaving from the Lincoln Center was not a prob - it was 287 and 78. Took 3:50 to get home. 

[Blizzard of 93]

The 0z GFS shows a crushing snowstorm chance this run for us on 12/7 into 12/8.

The cold air is getting entrenched this weekend, so hopefully Winter storm chances like this aren’t too far away.
