    Squaw was .....interesting... today. Some fun spots immediately below Sibera and the bottom third of North Bowl but otherwise Shirley Lake runs are a trainwreck and the bottom is like Judgement Day.

    Has anyone hit the West shore? Decent coverage in Donner Summit area down to 7k, curious what's going on in the Rubicon >> Jake's area. Did they get the same pulse that hit Heavenly with 20+?

    Was reading the Reno forecast discussion (not encouraging) vs the Sac forecast discussion (encouraging). Didn't realize Reno hadn't updated recently and I guess they were seeing the model "waffling" that BA referred to. I don't bother looking at the actual model output. Other people get paid to do that.

    And I still have to think about it to get Zulu time right.

    I still reserve my right to pessimism.

    PD, thanks for posting that. That looked like a hell of a lot of fun to me. My Malamute and I would have loved to have been there with you guys.
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    To be clear, CP got a bunch more than North Lake. Was definitely still hitting a few things at Alpine on Sunday. That trend looks to reverse with the current forecast for this AR event though.

    Great vid, PD. Thanks. Somebody slid into the Subaru while you guys were out?

    As for model waffles. The GFS flipped from the 0z run, to the 6z run to the 12z run, with the AR going from just slightly north to quite a bit north and back to slightly north. So there is still waffles around.

    edit. just checked the 18z and more waffles. this one pushes thurs storm more down the coast, with less liquid in tahoe, but drives the weekend system more on top of us. talk about a guessing game.

    Eat your waffles. Add some fruit and whipped cream. Enjoy.

    I find that he gets excited by every iteration the GFS has thrown out this past week. The 0z run is, wait for it, different, again, from the previous runs.

    Best bet is we will get between an inch and several feet by Monday. Current runs dumps on us early Sunday.
