Posted by GrilledSteezeSandwich,

Get on some wide skis and go fast and use a lot of power in your turns and you should be just fine getting through the mashed potatoes..in a typical warmer ski season you're gonna encounter spring conditions a lot so might as well work on your mashed potato skiing. Get forward and power through them.

Felt good to get on the XC skis again!....Snow was pretty easy to break trail through....Could get a nice kick/glide once I looped around to my tracks....

What's everyone's thoughts on this Friday Saturday coastal storm? I'm hoping to not have school Friday and white knuckle it Thursday night.

Good chance schools are closed Friday depends on timing.

I think the VistaClub condo would come in handy for this coming weekend.

 

Can't wait to own a piece of history.

Friday/sat storm has the big three in agreement which is sort of strange, right now we are in the bulls eye which is not generally where you want to be three days out but who the fuck knows.

 

This one seems primed to deliver but a word of caution the wind will likely be quite intense and the snow pretty heavy, don't die trying to drive up to blue sat morning as this is more likely to be the storm that sets up the majestic honey bee bowl than the boner donor. Drifting could be real fucking crazy and that makes driving real real spicy.

Will this storm affect my flight Sunday morning??

 

Probably but not like you can't drive to the airport but all of Saturday's shit will likely be cancelled which will fuck with Sunday.

 

Jeff would know better but I don't think the airlines have put out a statement yet but it's got to be soon, Friday would seemingly be the safe bet.

 

EDIT: HOLY FUCK ! Talk about model eye candy, 120hr the mofo is still in play, moves off and then south !!! Talk about a bomb, like a 10hr stall.......interesting, very interesting.....

This and the fact I bought a snowblower attachment for my new tractor last week makes me almost certain we won't get any snow or much at all this weekend.

Models are a pretty amazing tool but they have their limitations particularly with snowfall. 100mi can make all difference and no model can deal with that plus snowfall maps have alot of assumptions built into them. The first bits of energy show up on land tonight which means the sampling gets a hell of alot better so the runs tonight are of particular interest.

 

In the new age of weather with FB peeps and what not you get alot of postings of snowfall maps to drive interest, as long as you know they are as much fantasy as reality it's fine but many don't.....fuck ton of eye candy out there right now which is very exciting....

Its tuesday

 

sure but you have wide scale agreement on models that a bomber is going to be around with serious potential to drop a shit ton of snow on PA the excitement is completely reasonable.

 

Could it run out to sea or is there some kind of sampling error in the Pacific NW that grows the midwest disturbance which incorrectly slows the whole thing down and allows for the deep dig and stall ? Sure but weather is like gambling, your always playing your odds and right now the odds are pretty fucking good.

 

EDIT: QPF off the charts on the globals, feb 2010 was maybe the last time we saw these kind of numbers, totally dependent on a serious serious fetch from the GOM. The models are likely attempting to deal with a much warmer GOM which in some sense is new territory. 3.5QPF is crazy crazy crazy, models will show something like 40" then which is insane.....
