The animation they had on TV news showed Rain until about 8pm (or was it midnight?), then changing to snow.Quote:

So, good luck out there, Maggots!
We'll tune in for the Coreshot Update at 11...

Haz funz getting Utarded. I bet someone can hook you up.
Anyone care to predict whether Thurs or Fri morning is the better chance? Storm looks like it's coming in late tonight (actually early morning tomorrow), then accumulating through the day. Just don't know how much there will likely be by Thurs morning lift opening.
Rain to the bottom of Olympic Chair at Heavenly at 2pm today, dumping in elevations above it. It's starting to feel real.
As I crested the rise just past the Spur, the rain started to go Splat on the windshield, like it had something solid inside. Just a touch. My heart lurched.
As I sit at 7,800' it is Rain. Cloud level is mid-Zachary.
Let it Snow!

Agift from the east for you, wishing you many inches.
Heh^
That's going to be the highway into tahoe over not much more snow.
Well put sir, it's going to be very hard to discern what's under the new snow, let alone if there are facets underneath! Gonna need to pay close attention to aspect/elevation.Quote:

Ullr must still be feeling vengeful cause it's pissing rain in Serene with no sign of freezing.
Rain 1 - Facets 0
Feels Like 40 Degrees outside
On a side note bike trails should be $ by next weekend
35 degrees and steady light rain at the lake. Snow line looked like about the top of Gunbarrel at the Heave earlier today (that's 8200'). Supposed to get biblical tomorrow morning. I'll be out there enjoying winter for the first time even though there still won't be much actual skiing.
Latest run is looking good!

The 'Snow Level' forecast is really fun to look at too... not sure how accurate, but entertaining.

and if you are down to get really nerdy....look at the 'Graphical Forecasts'
Nice to see Squaw and Alpine getting over 2" of precip in the last 24 hours on the automated gauges, but this system hasn't done much for the coast. 0.03" for San Francisco; aside from a few hilltops, pretty much nowhere in the bay area has gotten even 0.1". Sad what we get excited for these days.
OMG 6 INCHES! IT'S SOOO ON!!!
6" inches on a base of dirt I think I'll wait a day or two. Sierra tomorrow boarder with Jacket like the forest treetops and pants like the dirty snow we have now.Quote:

Good soaker though, over 1 1/2" in the rain gauge, yes, rain gauge in January.
From my back door near Carson City at 0800. It's 33 degrees.
