Why are we still talking about the 8-14? It's never accurate.

[montanaskier]

it actually has seemed to do a pretty good job of signaling that past pattern change of last week. As Rontele says....trends....trends.

I do agree with the trends idea. I just hate the 8-14 when it isn't screaming "SNOW".

[montanaskier]

another quick shot tomorrow night/Friday. 3-5 maybe?

[PowTron]

Can I just wish for last Sunday to happen again?

[montanaskier]

4-10...Fri morning might be nice.

[Puffin]

yep. were not getting huge dumps really, but the pattern has improved in that, when you look at the forecast...it's not predicted (or actually) sunny every single day in the week. little storms are better than no storms!

[MJbumper1121]

^^^ +1 Keep it coming

[Hott Butt Mud]

still probably going to be one of the worst seasons on record at this rate

[Puffin]

^^^ no question. still gonna slide around on the snow though.

at least we got some better days to pick form. the two or three weeks around xmas were boiler plate. at least we've improved upon that because that shit was not enjoyable in any way shape or form.

[Crampedon]

I roll in next week, historically that means fairly consistent snow for a few weeks. I looked at the data from my flights compared to snowfall records the past 5 years and there is a definite trend.

Working on a graph.

Even this year in early December there was that one 9" day, right after I landed.

Thank me later. (Or I buy!)

Tonight actually looks good. Very moist airmass. Temperatures don't looks great (a bit warm) and the storm is quick, but good moisture can often overcome some of the negatives. Friday morning should be the best turns of the next 7 days. That doesn't necessarily mean that Friday morning will be a deep pow pow morning, but the turns will be nice.

Could be one or two weak storms for northern Colorado next Mon - Wed, and then a big old ridge builds in. Too early to tell if storms will undercut the ridge into the second week of Feb.

Let me get this straight. . . you track WHEN you have flown to Colorado and then overlay that with snow records and then construct a graph to support your hypotheses that you are a snow fairy? That is awesomeness and ego-centrism mixed together!

I know that the days I spend the most time on PornHub seem to correspond to lack of snowfall. But it never occured to me to graph it out!

[MJbumper1121]

My buddy seth has flown into co the last 4 yrs to ski vail with us. Each visit, it has snowed big. Coincidently enough, he was here this past weekend...

the 8-14 is laughable...so you're saying it's going to be warm and dry?!?!?

[linvillegorge]

Pissed that I have a meeting I can't wriggle out of tomorrow morning. Tomorrow looks like it could be prime for a sick day.

LOL probably one of the better quotes I have seen....

Man, that's depressing. If it were actually accurate, I say I like knowing so I can at least be not surprised when it doesn't snow. But since it's totally unreliable and inaccurate it just seems like needless self-torture to look at. Unless you're into that sort of thing.

it is accurate in terms of the overall trend or pattern which is teh suck.

[Hott Butt Mud]

Blame this one on the solar flare?

[bamboocoreONLY]

Snow fairy, not so much. Powder magnet, seems so. Not ego, think more Buddah-like. I am packing, printing boarding passes, and... what is happening right now?
