Thought Zephyr was an express.
Lots of snow at KW. We are having an Isolation Event (new term they have for when both pass and Spur are closed - pretty cool, eh).
Winds are down a lot from last night. About to head outside and start digging. Gonna be an awesome two days.
Glad I brought the Kusala and skins. If the lifts don’t spin, I’ll meadow hike with my wife and kid on snow shoes.
Still snowing. Huge drifts.
Blizzard conditions on the drive home last night around 7 pm - stopped by the Galena park entrance to check on someone in the ditch in an old 4Runner (said tow truck was coming so they were OK). Maybe 6-7" accumulated in the driveway by then, and I had just snowblowed the driveway about 3:30 that afternoon.Quote:

On the plus side--a shovelful of this stuff won't weigh very much.
Cool, it happened last Monday-tuesday too, but I'd call it interlocked like LCC (Alta/Snowbird). I too had the Kusala great for the extra float. Enjoy if you can still hummering rain in the Bay area.Quote:

3+ feet of blower on gun barrel. Plan is to open the lift at 10. Already lined up.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e46e5b0185.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...81fe85755a.jpg

No way to Kirkwood, so headed to Heavenly. Looks like 10 AM start. Easy 24+ inches at the base, maybe more. Sadly 192 Protests are in the mail from Denver rn, guess Praxis Lhasa Fats will have to do
Attachment 269042
All roads to Tahoe closed
Dig out to the road. Deep in spots. Way deeper than the 19” over night reading. Top foot or so was super fluff. Almost not even there.
Gunbarrel looks like it will be about as good as it gets and deep enough to move in this stuff.

What's up with SAC? They say 1-2', but all of the resorts are reporting a lot more. Also, only Considerable after that much wind?
yeah........that gunny liftline is gonna be sick with kwood closed but at least its gonna be the steepest terrain open in tahoe today. 42' overnight is just nuts
is that jen n nils i see in that line?

I Don't think any of you can make an accurate avalanche prediction from your house. Just saying.Quote:

I’m gonna have to disagree with that. A lot of the time you can guess pretty accurately just based on how the snow scrapes off your car.Quote:

Indeed. However, they went to High last night at 1900, then back down to Considerable this morning. They usually seem conservative to me, so this seems odd. Where do they get their snow totals, since it seems to be more than they are reporting even at lake level?
Plus, my house is in the middle of Hope Valley right now. We listened to and felt the wind howling all night. Maybe a bit more relevant than houses in town....
I could be wrong, but i didn't hear any bombing this morning at squaw.
Maybe patrollers couldn't get here?

Well, I picked the wrong weekend to schedule my vasectomy.
I'd be lying if I said a closed 431 didn't cause a little schadenfreude.
Some calm before the mega-storm Ta-stoke just to show there's no hard feelings

Thats fair, not a full on prediction, but take info where you can get it...Quote:

Lovely pic.
Did you mess with the color?
Is that vasectomy humor?Quote:

Maybe “considerable” is accurate, but if the forecast is partially based on drastically incorrect snowfall totals....
ETA: But glancing through the snow station data that SAC seems to use, linked in the report, their snow total data mostly matches the sac summary....
