I drove home from LA early this morning to be here for the forecasted storm cycle over the coming days. I've seen many varied reports on exactly what this storm cycle may mean for our parched state....we can only hope that we get copious amounts of snow.
To be sure, it appears to be a very warm storm, so snow levels will likely be quite high. The amounts of forecasted rain could be devastating for many areas within the forecast.
Kindly post up your experiences here as the storm progresses.
Current conditions here on the east side.....increasing gusty winds, and quite warm....presently 56F.

what amounts are you seeing predicted Dean.
from Tahoe Daily snow report the graph he shows doesn't make it look like it will be that much.

In most of Cali the NWS is not predicting a large noteworthy storm.
In Tahoe, a medium storm with snow level of 7500.
More precip further north like Shasta, but snow level of 7000.
Snow level very high even in Oregon.

Looks like the brunt of the storm stream will mostly pass cali other than the far north. We are getting the pineapple growing temps currently but missed any appreciable precip with the forward bands that have already passed.
On a hopeful note; The Chief hasn't jinxed the precip with overly optimistic forecasts, yet.

Low to mid 60s here in Salt Lake today and tomorrow. 20 degrees warmer than normal. And we're not getting any precip out of this.
I don't think any of the resorts here is in danger of closing, but the conditions are about as crummy as I have ever seen them this time of year.

Well Jan, it started off as snow, here in Whistler
But, by the end of the day, things were looking quite soggy.
Thisjustin after 3 hours playing in west coast mashed potatoes on blackcomb.
Precipitation was constant, and the trend seems to be more precip, likely rain. It's pissing cats and dogs outside now..
Jet stream is headed south earlier now, so California might get some Saturday night.

Mt. Hood Meadows just closed for the day - no night skiing. Lift prices were just slashed by 50% for Friday. I am supposed to teach my two multi-week groups on Saturday. They were awesome last week - great college groups and starting on a bluebird day. The forecast is that we will be in the mid 30's, possibly a couple inches of snow, and winds gusting to 65 MPH on our lift served terrain. A decision will be made to continue or postpone our programs early Saturday, probably long after I leave the house and begin the 100 mile drive to the hill.
Will bring my snorkel and heaviest goretex for alternative activities. The snowpack is very gruesome.

It's been raining steadily but not very hard for a couple of days now in Seattle.
We had a brief sucker hole this morning. I wish I had taken advantage of it at least to get some bird photos in actual *!SUNLIGHT!*, but I had to work. I It's raining moderately hard again now, and they say it will be intermittently hard until Tuesday. Still biking to work, though, and I sleep well with the sound of rain on our deck umbrella outside our bedroom window. My wife still claims to love the rain.

I had to replace my roof after that Nov 2005 event when winds were in the 90-100 range for over 8 hours in Crowley with gusts up to 128. Remember that one?
If my minds timeline is correct, that was the one when I had to spend the night at High Camp at Squaw, alone. I was working maintenance and someone had to be up there to keep an eye on things. The anemometer at the tram station was reading 100 mph on average for a while with gusts much higher than that.
I'll never forget the sound of the wind ripping through the steel I-beams that frame the roof for the ice rink (which obviously had no canvas on it at the time) in the middle of the night. Like a freaking demon.
Hope you guys get some precip, wish I could send some of ours from NH.

Very warm here in eastern Plumas County, 48 degrees F at 6:00 am at 5000' elevation. High winds, feels like 40 mph, not a drop of precip. yet. Kids ski races scheduled tomorrow at Alpine Meadows are cancelled. Rumor that they'll close during or after this storm.
Hey Crag, what do you mean by "8 feet winds"? I haven't heard wind described that way. Typo?

If United uses Bombardier RJ's then, yes, they do not like crosswinds but
that is because the wing is so low to the ground. My bro-in-law flies one
and he hates it when there's a crosswind. The airplane has some other

Here, at 5500' in the Pah Rah Range, one range east of the Sierra, we have 65f and strong gusts probaby 75+ mph. The state of NV was just declared a disaster area due to the ongoing drought. We need some of that rain to get over the Sierra.

But man is my euphoria over the snow been tempered big time by news of the fires in Mono & Inyo. So upsetting! I hope it starts dumping. The temps really came down today, about 15 lower than expected.

the storm wasn't predicted to hit super heavy in the Sierra. More wind then rain. But far northern California was predicted to receive as much as 20 inches in some areas. Thats pretty serious for a weeks worth of rain and thats where the hype came in.
A slightly larger shift then has been seen so far and it could have dumped quite a bit in the Sierra. Yosemite was not predicted to get much. It needs to shift just a bit further south to really hit Yosemite.
Some of this thread is about people hoping for a nice hit of winter.

Numerous large cottonwoods dismembered, pinon pines in the road, small branches littering my yard everywhere, a neighbor with about 3 acres fenced in that pretty white vinyl posts and simulated rail had at least a quarter of it down and shredded and his horses loose with the wild ones.Had to have been gusts over 100 mph.

Just checked out the real estate listings and the linked photos of

Then sort of adjusted my mindset of how all those pretty landscaping trees and bushes acted as kindling in this wind driven wild fire.
Yes, I'm really sorry for their loss, but they were asking for it
not building huge defensible spaces around their homes
in a 100mph wind prone area.

Chief is right. Off season fires are not that unusual here. I remember shooting footage of one in Coleville in howling wind and spitting snow. Those firefighters were tight in the houses, working like crazy to save the homes. In that case, they were successful.
That Big Pine Fire raced down the water courses right into Town. The desert brush off to the sides of the water courses barely burned at all.

On a side note, this area is known for firestorms in the off season and during heavy winter snows and rains. Not just dry seasons.
well dang.. thanks for letting me know that Chief. Makes me rethink things.. Having family from the gulf coast area and having been through a few hurricanes, I have a hard time with people who build in zones like that. I know that we can't avoid everything and having lived in Wawona and loving it so much, its still one bad fire/wind event away from destruction. I just don't know what to think. I'm certainly sorry that people have lost their homes. Maybe right now isn't the best time to talk about this. There are certainly some really awesome people who have chosen to live in that area and I feel for anyone who has lost a home.

Take this as a good example ; if these guys who make their living on providing the most accurate customized mid and long term forecasts for industry can only deliver slightly wet pussy moisture out of a ten day deluge forecast, what chance do the government teat suckling imposters in the AGW Industry have of giving any kind of plannable forecast ten or hundred years down the road.

Garbage in, garbage out. Sometimes the garbage is the information, sometimes the processor. If it comes out of our brains, we believe it's all gold regardless. Praise Jesus! Or scientists. Whatever.

Just driving around with the wind shield wipers
on is such an oddity.
This 2nd storm began here about 7am Sunday.
So far 5 solid rain hours with a few real cloud bursts.

I heard that firefighters drove up from Orange County!
Somehow that just doesn't seem right, let alone efficient or cost effective.

Oh ye (me) of so little faith. Sorry to have besmirched the Joe's at Weatherbell's forecast of deluge earlier. My earlier posts were from beakfast at Bruno's in Gerlach when it wasn't raining. Was doing some explorations up that way that was interrupted by increasing area wide rain early in the afternoon. Driving the 125 miles back was interesting waterskiiing at times. Here in Paiute canyon looks like we've had a couple inches of rain. How's it coming down down south guys?

For the last hour the rain has been coming down in biblical proportions in my canyon at 5500' in the Pah Rah range 15 N.E. of Reno. I'm seriously hoping for a taper off soon or my steep dirt road will be a deep gully by am. But I have my kayaks.

I suggest you all do what ever you do, pray, cross fingers, scratch your asses, what ever, just do it so that outlook comes true.
Ass being scratched. I am digging deep.

I'm a-scratching, for a return to a healthy Sierra snowpack, not a flood event in it's rainshadow. Since its 45f here I assume the snow level is fairly high in the Sierra just west of us. That's unfortunate. Rain has slowed here in the last few minutes.

Storm is gone. 67 and I am in shorts. 6mm storm total in our rain gauge, pitiful.

Base at Meadows - 30" before atmospheric river. Base 26" after atmospheric river. THe website now shows that LeMarcus Aldridge is taller than the base on Mt. Hood - which should be well over 120" by now.

I communicated with Em last evening, she and her home are fine.
I did some volunteer work with Salvation Army today and not only have the small communities and Bishop been turned upsidedown from this tragic fire, but no one wasted ANY time pulling together to help. Lots of positive vibes and upbeat energy going on here. :)

Sheckter is forecasting a 90% chance of snow for Sunday night.
The satellite might have other ideas.
