How does the temperature at 10:48 on a sunny day days before any potential storm having anything to do with potential future snow?

BTW, my prediction is that this weekend we will get 3..........3 snowflakes!

Huh, rumspringa sounds like my day to day life. Except with fewer hookers and less blow....but at least it's condoned!

By the time this thread is over, I'm going to know way more about the Amish than any man in Ca should...

Not so.......large mennonite population around stockton. I gave a guy a ride to mammoth once who was hitchiking over sonora pass. He was heading to "where the volcano is" to find some pumice stone for his family to wash clothes.

He did say his car had broken down though........so I called him a non believing heathen and killed him in the name of the one true god.

The god that's causing a drought in tahoe.

wow, that sounds like my HS --> College life right there...

"Some Amish youth do indeed separate themselves from the community, even going to live among the "English", or non-Amish North Americans, experiencing modern technology and perhaps even experimenting with sex, drugs, and alcohol"

Sonora Pass? I bet he was a Marine, cleverly disguised as a mennonite....so, basically, you killed an American Hero who would have saved us from the heathens. No wonder we're getting a drought!

Lynch mob anyone???

Now that you mention it, his beard did come off pretty easily. For a minute I thought that was part of rigor mortis. I wore it around for a few hours and offered people along 395 help putting up their barns and chicken coops.

Now, that's just wrong.

But hilarious.

Why didn't you keep the beard though? And are you going to produce a barn raising TR? I can't ever get sick of those....

**descender** · 01-25-2007, 02:25 PM

So are the Amish to blame for this drought? You can’t prove they are not. I mean they do have chickens and beards. Very suspicious.

You're obviously not paying attention, it's definitely kidwoo's fault.

**frorider** · 01-25-2007, 02:31 PM

might be hard to get TRPA approval, but i say we build a gigantic snowgun near echo summit with a nozzle diameter of, say, 50 feet, and just suck the lake dry as we plaster the entire tahoe basin with massive amounts of snow.

You're kind of dark skinned in the right sunlight..........you just might get away with it.

I sold the beard on ebay unfortunately. Some chick in southern pennsylvania bought it. Said it would give her the stature in her culture that she had always been denied.

So we need to donate some chicken and beards to get some snow?

Just read in the the sac bee that we are on pace for the driest January EVER .07 of an inch of rain. I don't think there are any amish here though?

Damn you Kelly McGillis!

**skier666** · 01-25-2007, 03:39 PM

Considering you have to get their approval of the color to paint your house, I'd say that's unlikely...

Anyway, from the Tahoe NOAA forecast discussion...

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RENO NV 310 AM PST THU JAN 25 2007 .

SHORT TERM... QUIET WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THRU FRIDAY AS UPPER RIDGE OVER THE ERN GREAT BASIN SHOULD KEEP CUT-OFF LOW NEAR 38N/130W FAR ENOUGH OFFSHORE. WHILE TEMPS WILL STILL REMAIN MILD FOR LATE JANUARY...THE UNUSUALLY WARM MAX TEMPS OF 61 IN TRUCKEE AND 65 AT BRIDGEPORT RAWS YESTERDAY ARE UNLIKELY TO BE REPEATED AS 700 MB TEMPS DROP FROM +4 DEGREES C TO BELOW 0 C BY THIS AFTERNOON...WITH CONTINUED COOLING AT THIS LEVEL ON FRIDAY. SATURDAY IS DRY FOR NOW BASED ON THE 00Z GUIDANCE CONSENSUS FAVORING THE LOW TO REMAIN OFFSHORE AND SWING TO THE NORTHEAST WITH SHORTWAVE RIDGE REBUILDING OVER THE FORECAST AREA. HOWEVER...THE RADICAL CHANGE INTRODUCED BY THE 06Z GFS TO A COLDER AND MUCH WETTER SCENARIO WITH CLOSED LOW MOVING INTO NRN CA CASTS MORE DOUBT ON CONDITIONS OVER THE REGION FOR THE WEEKEND. WHILE THIS POSSIBILITY BEARS WATCHING FOR SUBSEQUENT FORECASTS AND COULD BRING SOME MUCH NEEDED PRECIP FOR PORTIONS OF THE SIERRA...THE 06Z GFS RUN WILL BE TREATED AS AN OUTLIER FOR NOW AND NOT BE REPRESENTED IN THE CURRENT FORECAST. THE AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY AND INCONSISTENCY DEPICTED BY THE GUIDANCE WITH THIS SYSTEM HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HIGH. MJD

.LONG TERM...SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY... MODELS CONTINUE TO SHOW POOR CONSISTENCY WITH THE DETAILS OF THE PATTERN. MODELS NOW KEEP THE LOW WELL OFFSHORE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF AN INSIDE SLIDER SHORT WAVE FOR NEXT WED. WITH THE LOW OFFSHORE...WILL KEEP IN LOW POPS IN CASE THE MODELS CHANGE AGAIN WITH THE LOW CLOSER TO THE COAST WHERE A STRAY SHOWER OR TWO WOULD BE POSSIBLE. WILL ALSO KEEP IN LOW POPS WITH NO WEATHER WITH INSIDE SLIDER WAVE. WITH SOME HIGH CLOUDS AROUND...EXPECT DIURNAL RANGES TO BE SMALLER THAN RECENT DAYS. WITH COOLER TEMPS ALOFT...INVERSIONS WILL BE MUCH WEAKER WITH VALLEYS ABLE TO MIX OUT A LITTLE DURING THE DAY. TEMPS MAY COOL MORE THAN ADVERTISED IF THE MID-WEEK COLD FRONT IS FURTHER WEST THAN CURRENTLY PROGGED...BUT GIVEN THE PATTERN...WOULD NOT EXPECT IT TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY FARTHER WEST. WALLMANN &&

Lets burn skis for Ullr!

**descender** · 01-25-2007, 04:30 PM

That is Kirkweeds advanced cloud seeding in action. It is why they hvae the “deepest snow pack in Sierras”, and “Tahoe’s best conditions”, with “snow at all elevations”, and “the most expert terrain in the solar system”

**freshies** · 01-25-2007, 04:32 PM

Long range forecast/ discussion...January 31 to February 03
--High pressure may build back in next weekend with warming and sunny skies. By the following week, we look unsettled finally, with Pacific storms delivering the kind of moderate to heavy snow the Sierras are most known for. CM.
