I just hope that Rottingjohnny's handlers can keep him under control until
his wax fully sets up.

Dumping snow nicely here at Donner Summit! Hoping for a couple of feet today and tonight, so we can handle some heavy rain, then more snow...Might go out and ski in a training track for today before it gets too deep. yeah for winter!
ps. How about those US XC Ski Team Women! First World Cup last weekend. Kikkan Randall Third place 10k! US Womens team 3rd in the relay! Best results ever...

Notice Dingus that the WV imagery, posted a page back, shows dry air over Hawaii and that the storm has just a small straw into some subtropical moisture much closer to the coast. Also notice that you have a split flow in the jet stream, you can make it out in all the satellite shots but also in the link Bruce posted.
This is going to take away from the full force of the storm, in addition the small straw into the sub tropical moisture doesnt help, if your hoping for copius amounts of precip.
split flow from bruces link, a weak arm aimed at WA/BC
notice the small "atmospheric river" from the sub-tropical moisture plume
current sat shot, notice you just dont have a good flow from the subtropics

a true atmospheric river, pineapple express type thing looks like this
straight from hawaii to california
never the less it looks like you have a nice storm brewing, just could be better :)

Kind of curious Ron.. what do you mean by ..
ill bet FIVE HUNDRED ------------------- pennies that the tahoe general area receives very little precip as most will go south and north.
Do you mean everything east of the mountains? haha

Riley, where did you ski? We've gotten a whole lot of dick and squat out here in CO.
All the resorts I'm aware of that are open are on man-made.
Send some our way!

In verdi, nv (just W of reno), 0.81" of rain so far and 55 mph max wind gust on the home weather station today. Not bad for the weakest wave of the system. I think this one is probably real.

Town of mammoth got about 3"-5" of snow...... but it was raining when I left my job site.... bet the top got hammered .... most likely will be good wind-buff after the blow-out winds following this system.... doubt it will be pow with these warm temps.

Step-in snowboarders only sit down when they're tired. We don't run no "strappy Nelsons"...Those guys missed the boat. Poor bastards.

You're all a bunch of weather wankers and pussies and full of wind.
God gave us Gore-Tex and we still talk about the weather! Sheesh!
As if we can do anything! F'n Dingus...
