AlTahoe Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 2 hours ago, Cloud said: Good snowstorm and for this particular area, the snow seems to melt rather quickly, 2'-4' of snow forecast and now the trees are bare free of snow in the distance? No melting today except for roads in direct sunlight. My high was 31F today. The tree avalanches that we get will knock all of the snow off the trees pretty quickly. When we get these big wet snow events the pine trees will have 24" or more of snow stick to them. When the storm is over one tree will lose its snow load. The outflow wind from that will kick off the next tree like a domino. An entire neighborhood can go from sunny to a 1-3 minute total whiteout until it ends. It's pretty crazy to see in person. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatyorologist Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 00z is running. So far at hour 30 it looks like yet another small notch west, or at least a minor perturbation in the ridge's tilt. Previous runs associated this western shift of the ridge base with a westward shift of the ensuing ridge. 1 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how you don't get somewhat of a warm push with this system. Chicago was just lucky they got the developing system before it turned north. I still think Chi-town gets more like 2-4" instead of the 5-8" forecast. That high pressure is strong but too zonal and too far north of a low for your classic setup.

I woulda been p*ssed too if I missed February 2019 lol glad I was here and alive to see that myself. Hopefully we can get something even a half or 1/3 as impressive as that next month.

Meatyorologist Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 7 minutes ago, 1000'NorthBend said: I’m trying to decipher what leads to people having more confidence on this when it’s greater than a week out vs. other times when there’s been decent outputs greater than a week out and people doubt it. Is it agreement between models? Is it because it looks like a realistic scenario where other times it’s not a realistic or typical way to get snow? Is it a specific model showing it? Or is it just because it’s February and SOMETHING has to happen? I try to ignore cumulative 2-week snowfall maps but I’m trying to nail down what to pay attention to. Recent February climatology as well as advancements in timing, improvements in pattern details, and pure desperation. As far as I can tell nobody here is taking those LR snowmaps at face value. 2 Quote Weather stats for MBY Snowfall: -Total snowfall since joining: 50.25" -2018-19: 21" -2019-20: 2.5" -2020-21: 13" -2021-22: 8.75" -2022-23: 5.75" -2023-24*: 0.25" -Most recent snowfall: 0.25”; January 17th, 2024 -Largest snowfall (single storm): 8.5"; February 12-13, 2021 -Largest snow depth: 14"; 1:30am February 12th, 2019 Temperatures: -Warmest: 109F; June 28th, 2021 -Coldest: 13F; December 27th, 2021 -Phreeze Count 2023-24: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
