8 months of winter is not something I find appealing forecast 80 in Bishop, 95 in Riverside, 89 in San Jose, 83 at Castle Rock by next Wednesday. I'm worried more about Santa Anas and a hot end of October. At least my firewood will get a chance to dry out.

Silver,
I recall 4-6 years like this, where snowfields lingered into the beginning of the next winter. Including '69, just before your first obs in '71. None of them lasted more than 2-3 years. Used to be pretty tuned into that from living up in the Palisades every summer.
I too am a bit surprised that it snowed so much so early this fall, after snowing so much so late last spring. I just read prediction of a second La Nina season, though probably not as big as last year.
Wax up the snow shovel!

It's windy as all hell in Lone Pine, raining off and on with some pretty macho clouds rolling through the mountains... Film festival goers are falling and breaking their hips left and right

I got an email from Al Gore, ohhh, I mean~ Mammoth Mountain, one of their dump alerts that is! and opening day is in a month. Get out the rock skis unless it keeps on a snowin'!
WX in Long Beach yesterday, unreal, was like a hurricane here, windy and just dumped rain non-stop all day.

Lone Pine looks like it will be perfect for the weekend and a little A Hills cragging. Looks like the Stoney Point crowd will be rolling in en masse.

Some dude from JPL predicted a La Nina for last winter, and LA got about 20" of rain for the season(above normal). they interviewed him again tonight, and he said the same thing about the coming winter. we shall see.
I also have a degree in geography. I remember one of my profs saying that you can't predict weather accurately for more than three days.

Good morning Dean ,
The weather here on the Eastside has been stellar and it looks like this will be a fine week.
There seems to be a lot of interest in the weather here and I wanted to encourage you to keep up the reporting from your base.
I think it can turn into something similar to the ELCAP report.
Not so detailed as say Howards weather but your own personal take.
Thanks. Ive enjoyed it.

Have you been out scoping ice?
There last year's snow, then there is the snow from earlier this month, and very soon the temps will go cold and stay cold.
I saw some interesting stuff up your way, not at June, but off the loop.

western slope didnt get that color.
i did a quick run up 108 this weekend, and the aspens didnt do much of a show. presumably it was the early wet/heavy snow.
but it's ok, because we had an absolutely spectacular flower/greenery/snow season thru the summer.
sorry to see my many summertime projects go back under the snow, but really sorry to see the veggies go away. cool, wet summer meant that we had a suck ass season for tomatoes and chiles. the walnut folks were sweating it, because that storm hit just about the time we needed to get walnuts in and the fields were too soft for the machines.

Saw on a jog tonight that there is ice in The Cross on Tallac. I didn't have a scope, but it looked like it would be a fun ice/mixed romp for at least two pitches. Anyone want to check it out? Tomorrow morning is probably as good as it will get (this week).
There is still a snow patch above it, that and the snow a week or two ago is what is feeding it I believe.
