3/1 - 3/2 Storm Discussion Thread

[Greg]

22 degrees and PUKING right now.

 

[JD]

They are saying 4-8 today with the possibility for another several tonight if certain upslope scenarios set up. Then the lingering snow showers thru tomorrow....should be a foot where it counts, all said and done.

 

[RootDKJ]

I've got 5-6 now, with drifts piling up over a foot deep, and it's still snowing

 

[skiing is life]

10 inches here so far:grin: still puking like a 7 year old with a stomach bug.

Looks like 10-12 out there, stopped for now. I was out at 7am when there was 7-8. It's got a consistency of Sierra Cement (not wet). They plowed my street today with a payloader. I'm either gonna have to shovel or wait for the plowman. There is no blasting through this. Wondering how far east that next band is gonna come.

Bill: be careful if u decide to shovel, Sierra Cement is heart attack snow when shoveling . Luckily my 9 hp Ariens just whips thru that crap ------------------ send some snow WEST !! .

It's niceseeing/hearing about the snow! Seriously though where I am we've got 1/2 an inch so far! This is BS!!!:uzi:

 

[wa-loaf]

We're around 10 inches and it had let up for a couple hours. Storm warning got bumped out to 3pm with another 2-4 predicted for the afternoon as the final bands pass by.

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

I'm back from Blue..about 3 inches of fresh fell this morning..

 

[Johnskiismore]

There's some new snow on top but blah."

If I were a pass holder there, I'd be seriously pissed.

They did the same thing after a ten inch dump in December when I was there.

Mountain Creek does that all the time. I think smaller mountains that don't have as much natural snowfall groom over fresh snow regularly in order to establish a thicker base which will enable them to have a longer season than if everything were left wild. Also, speaking from a MC perspective, the type of skier/snowboarder they normally get doesn't like or even know how to ski in loose snow.

There's a foot on the car. After a 3 hour interlude, act II has just begun, snowing quite steadily now. My chairlift is open for business. Find your own hill here in the flatlands
