about 6" on the valley floor in Eagle and Gypsum. Further up valley in Avon and Vail....maybe an inch so far and not snowing. Will be curious to see what the mountains report in the morning.
Still not snowing in Vail. LAME.Quote:

Good lord, who is this gal that writes for the Vail daily? Great quote though about gapers!
16" of snow... gotta love their optimism

I don't care if Summit county is still reporting 0 inches, I'm heading up tomorrow and if there isn't some new fucking snow at Loveland or A-Basin, someone is getting cut! See you on the mountain!
Oh and screw you Wolf Creek bitches, I hate you and your 5ft nonsense!
Still waiting for the storm to hit Aspen.... :nonono2:2" tops on the ground in town. A little more reported in Snowmass Village.
edit - Did just read this - AFTER MIDNIGHT ALL HECK WILL BREAK LOOSE AS THE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES. I'll believe it when I see the snow on the ground.
Dear Sky,
If you aren't going to drop any snow, please drop an anvil on my head instead.
Yours,

NOAA point forcast for the uppper mountain:
Overnight: Snow. Low around 7. Wind chill values as low as -15. Windy, with a southwest wind between 25 and 30 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total nighttime snow accumulation of 10 to 14 inches possible.
Tuesday: Snow. High near 13. Wind chill values as low as -20. Very windy, with a southwest wind between 30 and 40 mph, with gusts as high as 55 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 6 to 10 inches possible.
Tuesday Night: Snow likely. Cloudy, with a low around -6. Wind chill values as low as -30. Breezy, with a west wind between 20 and 25 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible.
Stop teasing me Mother Nature!
went to sleep with no snow on the ground in Vail and woke up to a mountain report of 2"....hell yeah, this storm has delivered. Looks like another weekend of slaying born free.
forecast still calls for a wind shift and our snow to start this afternoon and tonight. Looks like to me that once the front passes, the moisture will be quick to dry up. Some terrain enhanced snow showers could drop a quick couple of inches, but looks like this mega storm is just a southern producer. The wait continues.
Looks like it gonna be a shitty Christmas for Northern Colorado.
We need some serious snow!
Matt, look at the radar and take a deep breath. Its here.

Everything is going south and the forecasts have been worthless. It's not gonna snow anything significant till unless this southern track shift for this coming weeekend...but it won't and everyone in CO will get snow and we will get another inch. 2-3 feet predicted by many and we get 2-3". Almost went to Utah or Jackson this year. Whoops.
And I'm sure everyone will say oh "it will
come". Screw that. I want it now!!!!!! I don't live in vail so it can snow occassionally....
Totally agree....that being said, snowing pretty good in eagle vail now. Please dont stop!!!
Puffin = the new montanskier
still nothing in vail! I'll take anything at this point!Quote:

I just need some nice turns soon... I worked the last 14 days straight and took mon-wed off in hopes of good shredding :(...I'm pretty bummed!
30" and counting at Schofield.
Thankfully NOAA has so far been way off on their wind predictions, this has been as calm of a storm, wind-wise, as it gets.
Oh and btw. It should be a well known fact CM from Snowforcast is a monkey with a keyboard. Still says were in for a foot today...
That being said it's finally snowing pretty decently in vail and if we get a foot I'll change my title to monkey with a keyboard. :)
yeah I see it D. Snowing pretty good, not sure if as usual it finally broke thru on the SW flow or if the wind has shifted. Very calm winds out. Some impressive wind speeds however down around purgatory, durango, etc.
It has been a slow start to the season, but the snow will come. ^^^ said it best, we'll be about average give or take at the end and the longer it takes to get started the more we'll get later. You'll get plenty of pow.
Wonder if WC or CB will get the dreaded black rose today or tomorrow?
edit: looks like the flow has shifted a tad more west than SW.
I am guessing wind shift. The returns are coming from a more westerly component. All the ingredients are now there and totals will be contingent on duration...Quote:

If you've been watching this thread for a year or two and continue to check snowforecast.com.... well then, you're doing it wrong.Quote:

Far cry from the forecasts. But I'll be there's a decent amount of accumulation going on up high.
Maybe but unfortunately we need more like 36"-48" to get things started...the grass is still growing in the back bowls:nonono2:Quote:
