I wouldn't worry about how much it snows unless you come up tonight. Otherwise, I'd suspect you'll be able to sleep in tomorrow unless you like to sit in traffic. They were bombing LCC/BCC ridge for shock and awe at 2:00 pm. I don't think they'll keep that up overnight once they get the valley dwellers down. Did I mention that it's still coming down at 2"/hr and now I have about a foot? -klaus |

Nuking in Park ****ty too. About 8" on the ground in town of the wettest, heaviest stuff I've seen all year. 'Heard the upper lifts at Deer Valet are closed and they've had a foot and a half just this morning. That SW flow is nailing us. We need the backside of the storm and some lake effect to put a nice coating of fluff down. It's not bad here. I'd guess 10% getting lighter with every inch. The new is bonding to the old well, but the old is a sensitive crust sitting on crap. I feel it coming on, it will probably hit tomorrow...slope flu. I'd think... Look what just came over the NWS: THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS CONVERTED THE WINTER STORM WARNING FOR ALL OF THE MOUNTAINS OF UTAH AND EXTREME SOUTHEAST IDAHO TO A HEAVY SNOW WARNING. THE WARNING HAS ALSO BEEN EXTENDED THROUGH 5 PM FRIDAY AFTERNOON. ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 12 TO 24 INCHES IN MOST AREAS WITH OVER 30 INCHES IN HIGH ELEVATIONS AND AREAS FAVORED BY SOUTHWEST FLOW. SNOW...HEAVY AT TIMES...IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING THEN TURN SHOWERY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE NIGHT. THE SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE EARLY FRIDAY THEN HEAVIER AND MORE WIDESPREAD SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON. THE HEAVIER SNOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FRIDAY NIGHT AND MUCH OF SATURDAY AND THIS WARNING WILL LIKELY BE EXTENDED. So basically two feet by noon tomorrow.. and then it's supposed to start snowing heavily. Hehehehehe. But we still can't get good beer. -klaus |

Could last you for awhile - it's still coming down here, and it's all on it's way to you. Got about 35in of nice California 15% heavy here at the cabin just in the last 36hr (deeper on the hill.) Went out with the Avi Control crew at 6am today. Took about 40mins just to dig the Summit chair out enough to start it up for the crew. Got to throw a bomb - even got a slide going with my throw - small slide, but fun to trigger that way instead of from inside. Tomorrow's forecast is for clearing, which will make for good skiing. And crowds. Any Tahoe BC people should let this settle for a day or two - there's a weak layer 35in+ deep in the pack, from the rain crust a couple of weeks ago with some faceting just above it. But things are actually sliding on a wind layer about 15in+ down. Just give it some time and it'll be OK - why push it? Dam! Something big just dumped on the cabin - loud, and the whole cabin shuddered. Seems OK now. Had a good size tree fall on the little (guest) cabin 5 years ago - bounced off the a-frame and only had to patch up the torn metal roofing in a couple of spots. - this latter event isn't anything like that. I hope. |

This year, low elevation. no gear, during the first day of the storm, seems to be the fatal combination. Oh.. and backside. Resort day tomorrow.

I would guess here it's starting at a layer from about 1 week ago and stepping down. Running fast and far... -klaus |
