Snow Watch 05/06

Need I remind you that last year we were sliding rales up at stevens mid october? and then the season turned out to be a wash?
 
yea.. that was so funny after you did that and I called to see how you were and you were like my butt is still bleeding and I'm wearing kackies!!! I laughed soooo hard... at your expence of course
 
no chris you dont need to remind me of that lovely pre-and-only-pre-season we had, i dont think anybody will EVER have to remind me. but after that, im all paranoid and shit

how long of a time period is that for???^^^ like from 0 to the end, how long is that? 10 days? a month? (i sure as fuck hope not).
 
yeah, don't you guys LOVE how its like warmer right now than it was all summer...

except its windy and raining out right now, so thats cool. And this weekend looks cold and wet, so thats good too. Last year our problem was we'd lose the precipitation when it got cloudy at all, lets see if we can keep it cold.
 
nope, dont love it at all. but yes, the temps are supposed to cool off which is good. and our problem wasnt really that we didnt get enough precipitation, it was just that our temps were way too warm for snow. think of how much snow, and how many good bluebird days we would have had last year if all that rain we had gotten was snow......holy damm
 
You know what we haven't had in a LONG time??? Those Frasier River Valley WINTER BLASTS!!!! Man, those things are the best, we used to have like 2 a year. Go to bed and its 60 degrees and raining, and wake up to 2 feet of snow!

Tomorrow!!!

Come on wind, GO SOUTH!
 
yah yah stevens got some lovely white stuff up on seventh, its a start....i hope. i would just be really happy if the wsdot forcast held true, but thats kinda rare. that would be beautiful if it did though!!!

Yeah, the frost was a nice surprise, but the sun was not. I didn't have to do any scraping cause I didn't leave until like 8:30, but my rear wiper made a little scraping noise!

But its fr-fr-fr-freezing out still! I love it!
 
you guys had 20 inches of "ice" on your cars?! Explain this, I don't get it. How can you get 20 inches of ice on your car? It snowed? so confused by that!
 
hahahahahahaha, yep.

see, I'm picturing a car, with 20 inches of ice on it. And I'm thinking... not drivable?
 
From Larry Schick:

"Hello Snowriders! 2005-2006 Pacific NW Snowrider Forecast

It’s a new season and I’m feeling really good about it. Already there is some snow above 4500ft. Last year, was a freak. Let’s move on. In fact, the atmosphere has no memory of the past. It's like me, except I do remember the good stuff. Past performance does not imply future results. Yep, it’s a new, clean slate. Already there has been lots of action in the Gulf of Alaska starting to head our way with increasing strength and frequency. The weather patterns seem to be very progressive, moving right along. No blocking high pressures to cut off the moisture. I’m lovin’ life.

El Nino/La Nina is neutral this year and that is good news. As you may remember we jokingly call it La Nada. But neutral is good. The reason it is good is because our “normal” season tends to be fantastic compared to most other areas of the country. The NW is the King of Snow, period! Normal is not average for us, it great! Plus some our most active winters have occured during these neutral years. So neutral is not bland, in fact it can often be smokin'hot.

But I’m going beyond normal. I think conditions will be excellent. I think we’ll have a early start at some areas, perhaps before Thanksgiving.

The snow will be fairly consistent, expect average to above average powder days. We’ll get a good base going before Christmas. I do think we are vulnerable to a few short warm periods, but they will move on quickly, unlike last year. Plus our bases will be well established so we can’t be hurt as badly as last year."
 
to bad larry schick is a dumbass, sure the NW may get a lot of snow, too bad its full of fucking moisture and heavier than hell.
 
yes im loving the forcast as well.........and as for you ski-hobo, if you were a true "ski-hobo" you would be happy with heavy as hell powder!!!!!!!! if you want light fluffy powder, go move to a mountain with an 8000 ft. base level, and an average temp of 15 degrees
 
wooooogie booooogie mutha fukkkas!!!!!! the snow gods shat on stevens pass last night, and MUCH more to come in the forecast!!!! looks like im hikin this weekend!!
