Right.... There's my point... You're not really on here because you have a passion for winter. You're only on here to troll. It is what it is, and call it what you'd like. But you just said it yourself. Join a forum down south. You'll probably do better there

I like a big winter storm but generally it's my least favorite season.

enjoying the science? Learning? Sharing obs? LR forecasting? Naw that's  trolling, banned

Not to defend TT but you're not going to run short on lollipops anytime soon. Rainbows either. We are approximately a third of the way through the winter.

However you want to look at Ken..he’s a Troll.  And however you want to look at where we are in the winter season, we have more time ahead of us, than behind.
 

And I am certainly not all positive all the time.  Sucks we missed this Saturday’s big storm opportunity.  But yes, I’ll be ready to accept any snow that Mother Nature will give us come Saturday.  If we get zero, that will suck.  
 

Pattern looks to offer more opportunities(SWFE/Overunning potential?) going forward this month, with cold around too.  So if I’m not all doom and gloom, well I’m sorry. Lots of winter to go through yet being it’s only 1/8.

I can’t say that I recall a period of nonstop wind like this one.  
Im sure someone on here has data to show it happens in whatever amount of time but this has been a while. 

Can see why with all these SLP just pinwheeling around NE of here theres wind.

[Lava Rock]

And cold too. Sitting out at my nightly fire pit and my beer froze. And it's not like I was nursing it.

Higher ABV and you didn't even have to pay for it

Yeah. I get the mechanism (great graphic btw).  I don’t recall such a prolonged stretch like this. 2-3 days seem pretty common.  But this is what…day 6?

-SN obs go back to January 6th at 8pm.

 Solid wintry vibe for the past 48 hours.

8F… 8” wind-packed OTG.  Not deep winter but winter.

What are the conditions like? The wind must be blowing the snow right off the mountain.

It’s like 3 foot drifts alongside large areas of scour.  The wind has smoked all open areas, with drifts in the lee of any topography change.

It goes from wind stripped crust, to deep snow.  Highly variable, comes with long duration windstorms.

It’s been an impressively long stretch of high winds and cold.

Not sure i've seen him, Yes, I do go a lot, But there's a lot of crazy guys out there, I'm sure he goes to the local watering hole Trails End if he drinks, I would see him there.

Took 2 hours off work to stake the lake today, 3 miles long, 10-16 inches of ice, another week of this and we'll be able to take our big machine across the ice. Might be bad for snow, but we're making ice like crazy up here.

Hope something works out for MLK weekend, we have the base and frost, literally 6 inches and we can be grooming. Businesses are hurting after the last 4 crappy winters. 

Wife's 2017 900ace, could maintain 95 mph the whole way down the lake so we got the corners right.

Always ten days away

You know its bad when Don is broken.

[alex]

The past few days have have felt like living in an arctic area with the fine constant snow, the wind and the drifting. I hate wind but it’s been cool in a way, very raw. Another 2-4 is in the forecast for tomorrow, I’m hoping it helps open a few more glades assuming that the snow tends to stick around much better in glade trails
