Wouldn't be the first or the last time we could see the evil "R" in January. But it's freaking warm out there. Street in front of my house melted out today at 8200'. My freaking heat tape failed this winter and I hear my gutters burst and are spraying water everywhere. Best thing could be if all this SW warm and weak shit could be followed up by a nice storm from the NW :)
Ill take any precip right now. Gone a few monarch vouchers so I'm headed there this weekend. It'll be nice to ski somewhere less crowded at least...

Jan. is a bust but February is a whole new month. Flying to Kentucky the 1st wkd of Feb so maybe that can help start off the return to winter.
Exactly what I thought today as I was skiing today...fog, dampness, etc. Bleh

pouring rain in durango this AM. looks to be snow in the mountains (based on ski-area webcams).
last week it was highs in the single digits.
lame shit.
Last week was cold and clear in the S San Juans and I observed some significant surface hoar. And now NOAA is calling for 2 feet of heavy wet snow at the higher elevations. That should be a horrifying mix.
I'm thinking jeebus is punishing us for gays getting married and lack of MOAR GUNS! in our schools.
^^. Don't forget the whole weed of the devil thing too. Crazy weather right now. I'm honestly just glad there is a ton of moisture in this storm. Better than no water at all.
Maybe if we can get JoeTron to shave his beard as a sacrifice to Ullr or something, we can has winter back.
yeah, this is true.
headed up to ski purg with a few inches of slop. should be a grand time. webcam looks to be dumping

Gonna try for Wolf Creek tomorrow if anyone else is game. Leaving from Breck.

spring below 9k....frozen above it. Pretty bad morning for me personally but DaHeel said he found some chalk in spots. Think I'm heading to Sunlight tomorrow for a change of scenery
Just got back from Purg. Holy cow the wet stuff was coming down. This storm is some serious PNW bullshit. It was wet, heavy but a lot of fun up there.Quote:

I hope this storm gets to the rest of you guys. The whole state needs it.
Why not Breck? It's gonna ski even better tomorrow. Started storming right around 3.Quote:

Raining on the Front Range god I hope it's snowing up high !!
So nice to feel rain in Denver..any moisture is welcome. Looked like it was puking at the xgames...would love to hit the Bowl tomorrow.
Just a couple of inches at most in SuCo. Moon is out now.Quote:
