Ha, I’m hoping for 6” the day before Xmas.

This stuff is pure clipper fluff at 14 degrees to start off.  If 0.40 - 0.50” QPF lands it could get maximized by ratios.

Just started here. The flakes looked pretty smashed up as was talked about earlier. 

I still find that all voodoo. There’s nothing that stands out about this event versus others wrt wrecked crystals.

I know what Mark was talking about in terms of flake type… but to me the wind thing doesn’t hold much weight. It can absolutely stuff fluff on the mountain with great snow growth in 60 mph winds.  Its all snow growth related.

Stronger lift will see better growth as is often the case.  Flake size will decrease quite a bit in the lulls.

Probably the most depressing time of year to be in a snow hole...504db940c384231a99a771dfcef47610.jpg

Some of that may be real, but the radar beam is way off the ground there and may miss some real shallow lift flurries

Flakes just went small and steady.  Synoptic flakes.  Sounds like a low hiss outside as it falls.

Dogs back was coated quickly but not by fluff, this is more QPF 8-10:1 type stuff all the sudden.

Sounds like the flakes were fractured and wrecked by the winds in the mid levels.

 

ha ha

I was sort of just kidding. I definitely don’t have the knowledge, skills or abilities to make a call like that.
