This is a bitch about reporting.

Up until last season, Breck did one very nice thing: They listed both 12 and 24 hour totals. You could easily see how much fell overnight without having to watch the snow stake video without blinking. (No idea if other VR mountains did this, too - I assume they did.)

This season? It's a 48 hour total, and then you have to click through to another page to see the 24 hour. No 12 hour to be found.

THANKS OBAMA.

I see he got tired part way through. That's fine for studio recordings, but he needs more stamina if he wants a live performance career!

Lot's of rain.

Guess it's the east turn....lots of rain, freezing rain, then cold. Maybe some snow in some places. Staying home this weekend. It was a skating rink already on Sunday.

Interesting storm happening right now at the St Lawrence. Maybe a foot of freshies. If not, we have to wait after the first week of Feb to get back into the cold pattern. This one may last all of Feb.

1/4" of ice so far down here by the Lake!

Last night we get out and the rain just stopped about 30 minutes into our weekly group lesson and boom thunder lightning. 20 minutes into delay and management says one minute until lifts can run again and boom another storm cell pops up cancelling the night. March storms in February. If it was one 35 degrees colder we would have had a nice 6 inch snowstorm.


I’m really feeling sorry for those westerners that are bitching about thousands of acres and feet of vertical groomers. Hahaha

March storms in February.

But... it's still January!

Yea some how it feels like February lol I can’t keep track of months. I guess I at least got us to new year.

 

[David Chaus]

Here’s my bitching: it’s snowing at Stevens, a foot or two expect today and tonight, more pretty much every day this week and another foot+ storm coming through on Friday....and I have to work. I keep thinking I need a pair of powder skis, but then I’d never get to use them, so why bother?

 

[Dwight]

43 and rain!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SpauldingSmails]

Somehow I feel responsible for this drought of snow. This year I got a snowblower AND a season pass...

 

[Michael R.]

I figured a Utah move would coax a high pressure system to follow me around.... To all my Colorado peeps, YOU'RE WELCOME

Area Forecast Discussion

One thing to note in the models this morning is now the agreement
even in the ensembles of the building ridge NOT phasing with the
high latitude ridge near the Bering Sea in 5-7 days. This is an
important development, and not a good one for snow lovers. The ridge
is building in response to the strong MJO and thus is tied to it.
The position of the strong MJO for the next 10 days strongly favors
a ridge near the west coast and very warm conditions. In contrast, a
phased ridge would have had its axis further west with cooler temps,
although still dry. It also would have been more susceptible to
undercutting beyond 10 days. The forecast pattern now is very stable
with dry and warm conditions for at least the middle of February,
and likely beyond. Maybe there is hope toward the end of February? X

What are you doing in my driveway?

I was complaining about the January rain to our senior snowmaker to which he replied - "Yeah the rain was a lifesaver as they were getting ready to start the layoffs. Now we have tons of work.” - Whether you love or hate the weather all depends on your perspective.
