Colorado Weather Discussion Thread

[BDKeg]

What are poles? And yeah, theres nothing to do in the NW in the summer except ski volcanoes

Ok, back to the weather discussion: wolfie and silvy see 26" while we get 3" up here. Woo!

san juans needs some love too. The last few storms didn't drop too much. The northern areas will get their fair share if not with this one, then the next one early next week.

Well somewhere between your bitching and moaning about the oh so terrible state of Colorado, you must of missed the weather forecast. By Sunday night we're looking at 8-17" in Summit with plenty more on the way next week.

The major advantage that CO offers me is its cheap to live here and Texans will throw lots of money at me for teaching them how to ride a snowboard.

So, you're a snowboard instructor who works in Summit county? I'm surprised you haven't offed yourself by now... also, you left Utah out of your little rant which is bar none the best place to go if you only care about terrain and snow.

I'll bet you $10 its closer to 8" than 17" especially considering the wind will blow 80% of what does fall off to Kansas. And BFD, 17" in 3days is kiddie play. Anywhere else a 3day cycle would produce a minimum of 5ft.

Actually I work in good ol clear creek county. Scummit is full of suckas. Haha. And thankfully I only instruct part time. I have a second gig that pays the bills mostly. Instructing is just traveling money and a pass to anywhere in the state except the Fail family of resorts.

I do like CO and the people here, just drives me nuts it doesnt snow that much. And UT<Jackson IMHO. Just my .02. Rednecks are way more fun to hang with than mormons.

Well, it sounds like you've had enough. Go to Utah or Washington then. Have fun.

More freshies of the 375"+ the Luv and WP for me.

Think it's bad now....if the Euro forecast models keep trending the way they are trending.....it's going to get much worse. .....on the other hand if the GFS is right then happiness will ensue

[montanaskier]

^^^ yep the Euro is all about what it was in November while the American wants to keep the storminess.

When anything is in doubt here always, always, always favor drier conditions. Why? Because we're closer to the goddamned desert than the ocean. Its fucking dry here. You can call it butthurt, but I call it reality. Sorry if you guys cant handle a dose of that once in a while. Maybe y'all are the ones who are actually butthurt. Have fun on this weekends 5" total through three days. Im sure itll be EPIC. It even says so on most of your passes.

Bourbon is the new montanaskier

That's scary. Euro seems to have been far more correct over the long term than the American recently.

Is it realistic to think that having either model show a potential change is a bad thing right now? The change has to be based off of somr real-world shift, right?

we're staring over the edge of infinite butthurtz right now. Be glad forecasts aren't 100% after 5-7 days. fuck the euro model, GFS has got this.

Wow, you're either a total douchebag or someone pissed in your Cheerios this morning.

Seriously, chill the fuck out.

We're about ready to go over the butthurtz cliff, maybe it'll be a good thing?

[Rontele]

montanaskier,

butthurtbourdon is now the Dean of Butthurt

[pappag]

Holy buzzkill Batman! Positive thoughts breed positive actions.

[Rontele]

By the way, the internet giving weather model access to a bunch of butthurt weather jongs was the worst thing that happened to this thread.

[hatchgreenchile]

Ignore the bourbon butthurt. It’s obvious his perpetrator didn’t even give him the courtesy of a lube job. Time to revive the stoke and can the bitching:



Oh yeah, red and brown are a good thing…

The problem with your "reality" is that it's only based on a few seasons and one of the driest calendar years on record (2012). I've been around here for a while kid, so don't try and tell me what's reality. I've seen plenty of the good, bad and ugly. That's REALITY. Either shut your fucking cake hole or move.

Food for thought on the GFS vs. ECMWF war:

While pbourdon is for sure stinking up this joint, I agree with him on being frustrated over the lack of snow.

I am looking at relocating farther West myself, but in the meantime I am going to love being in CO and taking some blower to the face. I actually would prefer to live in BC outside of Vancouver (not going to happen) or Seattle/Bellingham area, but SW Denver is treating me OK at the moment.

It does get annoying hearing the local weather bitches talk about a "huge storm hitting the mountains with totals up to 12 INCHES!!! OMGZ!!!"...but it is Colorado, after all.

Either way, looking forward to a little bit of fresh over the next couple of weeks.

He is going to move.

It's going to get ugly again. Let the butthurt flow.
