April Foolssss

[Jbaysurfer]

I guess by the lack of blobs there's nothing on the horizon and like I suspected the last system was "it" for the year?

[SurfnSnowboard]

It's possible that was it. But then I've seen pretty decent storms hit on Memorial Day weekend. The Fat Lady may have only been warming up, too soon to tell!

[Sierra Lady]

20% chance of thunder showers after 2:00 tomorrow and an expected 53 on the hill.

It broke 60 in town and was 62 today.

Spring is here!

Spring Snow....

Nice little cell that passed through late this afternoon bringing us some rain, lightning and thunder!

[WeatherGuy]

Big differences between the ECM and GFS/NAM for overnight Wed and into Thur. Snow levels with this projected ECM precip around 8-8500 feet.

And here is the WG outlook!

Maybe, maybe this might sink further south? It's kind of like - the more we check the forecasts; (we think) the better chance of it hitting.
Right now everything is above freezing, with a few exceptions@ time of post - http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mesowest/mwmap.php?map=hnx

Moisture ahead of the cut off low will continue to push into
western Nevada tonight with the trough producing enhanced lift for
showers Wednesday afternoon and Wednesday night. Instability
decreases over the Sierra Wednesday with the main focus for
thunderstorms along and east of Highway 95. Uncertainty continues
in the snow level forecast with the trough as most of the cold air
remains in the Pacific northwest. Snow levels may drop down to 7500
feet Wednesday night, then fall to 5500-6500 feet north of I-80
Thursday evening as colder air reaches northern California. This
brings the potential for a few inches of snow in the Sierra above
7500-8000 feet. Accumulations on roads is very unlikely due to the
warm ground and most of the precipitation occurring before snow
levels fall below 7500 feet Thursday. Best chance for snow on
roads is near The Summit of The Mount rose Highway.

looks like there is one more act before the fat ladys up aint much but ill take it

[snowgurl]

We are coming up on Friday to say "goodbye" to the season. Hoping the snowgoddess has at least one last gasp left in her!

How have conditions been on the open terrain over the last week? Is it possible to hike and ski/ride down to Canyon or Eagle? We're going fancy style at Juniper and blowing our $100 in free pass cash to do it. It would be fun to end the day by traversing "home."

[spinheli]

There is a closure (not a "boundary") down the far side of Roma's all the way back to the top of China Bowl, as the Mountain is setting up Super Park in the Chair 5 area. There is not enough snow to go to Eagle anyway, and they seem to be building something on Cloverleaf in front of Canyon also. So no traversing out of bounds this year.

[PE395]

So it is for Superpark. I wondered of the Mountain was hosting it this year.

[TheSnowman]

Rain here in old mammoth... I can see a fresh dusting on the tail.

[cheapski]

Big differences between the ECM and GFS/NAM for overnight Wed and into Thur. Snow levels with this projected ECM precip around 8-8500 feet.

So how did this work out?

[WeatherGuy]

A bit too much on the precip amounts from that model run, but the next runs got it right at just under an inch for today. Snow levels were the problem, the cold air was slow to get here and most of the snow fell above 9500 feet.
