I'm still waiting for '98-'99 to repeat so no season is ever good enough for me.
But to your point: this is bullshit. Hey, I haven't washed my car in years. Maybe that's it? Shit, that would suck if it was that all along.
A couple systems rolling in Sun and Mon should drop about 2cm on the top of anything over 4000'. We're talking 4cms of fresh fluff up top so Phat Tuesday is on :rolleyes2
FLEEEEEE
:D
Out at baker for the week and watching the storms roll in back east is pretty painful.
Good times Sat and Sunday, yesterday was pretty variable and getting warmer.
Win some, lose some I guess.
Trust me, I'm praying too.
I washed all the cars and the dog,nothing. I will mow the yard today that should do it. Powder Monsters do not give up hope it's only the start of Feb.
What's really annoying, as scotsman has posted, is all the pretty people with unnaturally white teeth prancing about extolling the virtues of the sunny winter weather in the PNW.
This is unnatural and orthogonal to any semblance of proper flow and holistic brouhaha.
People who want nice winter weather in the PNW should move back to California.
Im just here to say Buster, nice use of brouhaha.
And yes, the PNW isnt looking so great, however its just February and Im not worried......yet.
Whats strange however is that unlike other winters where we'd get the usual snow and then have a pineapple express roll by and melt/pack everything down, we've had these streaks of nice cold, low humidity, high pressure systems(great for snowmaking) but no convergence with those streaks of moisture laden systems coming from the pacific. It blows, cause theres such good potential, but nothing is materializing.
OK, it's February and this compleeeeeetleeeeeee BLOWS. Although it's a great avatar there el Dude, I'm past that title.
I was skiing Mission Ridge over the weekend....I thought I was salmon racing with all the pungi sticks marking the rocks
:cussing::cussing::cussing:
Even snowshoeing was just a ice hike.....:eek:
Halfway through Feb now. Tired of "fast and fun!!!" groomers. Depressing forecast for next week, ....losing hope.
I'm about to sacrificially burn some old skis I've got in an attempt to appease the snow gods. I think that might work.
Seriously.
My friend, who is the farthest thing from a skier you can get (hippster) and has no qualms about going to a movie on a beautiful sunny day (he's not outdoors-y is my point), said this winter is beginning to freak him out. He said "there hasn't been any rain, it just doesn't feel right." And this guy even commutes everywhere by bike or bus and he's missing the rain. Fucked.
Ahh, fuck it.
Its 7*C outside. Gorgeously sunny. Not a drop of new snow for..., well.., I dont even know how long.
Im going biking.
Who isnt? Personally though its still one of, if not the, favourite album of his for me. I mean it just kicks ass. Great songs, great flow, Trouble Every Day is the shit.Quote:

Burnt a pair of skis last week and made a coupla other sacrifices,two days later it snowed 40cm of blower when 4 were forecast,that vodoo shit works.
Gonna have to try it again.
It snowed at Stevens today. About 1-2".
That's...that's something, isn't it?
* Weeps *
noaa is calling for high temps and possibly rain on friday night... what did we do that was so horrible to deserve this?
This is fucking terrible. Post up some offerings to Ullr...stat.
The weather has been ridiculous. I am still wearing shorts it has been so nice here. Checked the meadows snow forecast and it just looks awful. This sucks.
The park kids are freaking out a bit too.
Someone was telling me that the park at Snoqualmie is within inches of the dirt in spots and that there is so many rocks on the runs that it has become common courtesy to stop and throw them to the side, where there are now piles of them.
And Park Place(I think...whatever their bigger park is) at Meadows will not open this year cause there is not enough snow.
Just.....ARGHH!!!
What? el duderino has tunneled through the router wall and has now shattered into Professor Chaos, or some submatzonic particle that closely resembled him?Quote:

I really liked Grand Wazoo and Overnite. Some of the later stuff got a bit academic, but I have to agree that the series with Ian Underwood: Absolutely Free, WOIIFTM/Lumpy Gravy, Hot Rats, Chunga's Revenge, Weasels Ripped My Flesh, Burnt Weenie are awesome, my favorites too. That said, you absotroutly have to listen to Imaginary Diseases. Have to have to have to.
But I had a Pow Surprise @ Crustal last weekend. Powder. Faceshots. Empty chair 6 and South Back. It was wonderful. I was reminded of Beefheart:
... and the pantaloon duck white gooseneck quacked...webcore...webcore.
Certain forecasters are predicting a cooler than average spring in the PNW....this is what I'm left holding on to. I think this is all due to the fact that I decided to buy some powder skis this year.
i feel bad for you guys
Suck ass for sure. I stopped looking at NOAA because I'm sick and tired of watching all the systems go to the south of us.
On a positive note, the snowpack is far more stable this year then it was last year. There is funk but pow as well.
Last Thursday in GNP:

hopefully pow-tacular April will make up for balls jan and feb
I'm seriously considering doing the Chilly Hilly on Sunday. Yeah, that's right. Road cycling rather than skiing. It actually sounds fun: 4000+ spandex-clad dweebs descending on Bainbridge Island.
WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
I am riding vedder tomorrow.... never thought I would be biking in shorts in Feb...
Looks like we have a chance at some serious snow starting at the beginning of next week, keep your fingers crossed.
Come to the Tetons, we have plenty of snow, but no jobs. We'll trade you our powder for your precious monies.
Seriously though, who down there pissed in Ullr's eye? Much sympathy, we had lots of drought years in the last decade, so I know how depressing six weeks of high'n'dry is.
cascadecrud is predicting 16 inches on wednesday for baker
looks like crystal will be pretty awesome by later this week, at least some sprinkling every day and a few 7-8 incher days. I'll be up there friday.
From the Canadia end of things it's just cool enough to fall as that white fluffy stuff.
Whistler Mnt. reported 25cm (~10 inches for those that haven't conformed to les francais) of new snow last night...
Agreed that this winter is weirder than all hell.... When it does snow, nobody's been able to call it.
Forecast (EnviroCan) vs. actual snowfall history for Whistler
Crystal's gonna be piiimp tomorrow. Too bad I have class. I'll be up there friday though.
Anyone going to Alpental tomorrow morning? I'll be there if anyone wants to make some morning powder turns. Blue jacket skiing on Thugs or Squads.
I can't make it, but scream at my buddy ari. he's a boarder, with a neon orange hat. Call him out just to creep him out.Quote:
