I heard after this little dusting later this week a high pressure system is moving in for the rest of the month!!. Can anyone confirm this. And if you can conform it anyone want join me in mourning.
 
It looks like a nice day in store today with mostly clear skies, mild temperatures and light north or northeast winds. Temperatures should get up around freezing along the ridges. High pressure continues Tuesday before a trough clips northern Utah cooling temperatures and bumping wind speeds slightly. You guessed it, no snow will come from this. A high pressure ridge will be the dominant feature through the end of the model run which puts us out toward the end of the month.

this is taken from utah avalanche center

these guys are on top of things so it seems like jan will suk

 
yeah... i had to decide this fall and dumped a ton of $ into touring and avy gear plus a Level 1 class (which has been postponed twice now). Juneuary continues...
 
one possible shred of good news:

LOOKING AHEAD TO THIS WEEKEND...UNCERTAINTY CONTINUES BETWEEN A
BUILDING RIDGE IN THE GFS OR AN ESTABLISHING MOIST PACIFIC ZONAL
FLOW ALONG THE CANADIAN BORDER PER THE EUROPEAN. IF THE EUROPEAN
IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK...THIS PATTERN SHIFT COULD EVENTUALLY BRING
PERIODIC STORMS BEGINNING THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK TO THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE STATE.

 
I moved from AK to SLC to ski the infamous ut blower that has never come. better yet ak is having one of its best years and ut having one of the worst.
hopefully its just a lil delayed, i just bought all new avy stuff
 
it's about time. flying out on the 26th from philly and really hoping you guys have somewhat recovered by then.

this is looking pretty optimistic as well:http://wasatchsnowforecast.com/. not sure how credible it is, but a friend who lives up by basin and powder sent it to me this morning. great year for him to invest in a touring setup so far...
 
vibes brooh and fishins good

Saturday AM update:

Figured we’re close enough now to the onset of snowfall that I would map out at least the timing and significance of each impulse we have coming in… Of course, these are all preliminary estimates and are subject to change.

Monday Morning: Cold, quick moving system gets us started. Could affect morning commutes for those unfortunate enough to have to work. Snow levels are not an issue given its cold nature. Accumulation 3-6″ mountains, Trace-2″ Valleys.

Wednesday-Thursday AM: First warm impulse will move into the area, bulk of precip will stay to our north. Snow levels 7,000-7,500 feet. Accumulation above 7,500 ft., 4-8″

Friday evening-Saturday AM: Stronger, but still fairly warm impulse will enter the region. Snow levels 6,500-7,000 feet. Accumulation above 7,000 ft, 8-16″.

Sunday PM-Monday: Another fairly strong impulse, will move through, looks a bit colder at this time. Snow levels 4,500 – 5,500 feet. Accumulation above 6,500 feet, 8-16″.

More systems possible beyond this . . .

Remember, these are all preliminary estimates and chances are these totals and timing will change as we get closer. Just trying to give everybody an idea of what to expect. If you add the totals up for these four separate impulses, you’d find that I’m expecting 2-4 feet total over the next ten days. Not too shabby….
 
Make sure you wd40 them for maximum oilslick/chum attraction.Well if it don't snow at least the dam 3 months of 5k flows or last seasons 8680 cfs shouldn't be in effect
 
Slowly starting to come down on the backside in PC. Hopefully these storms this week are a little warmer and puts down at least a few inches of Sierra Cement. If this is all blower things are gonna get really scary really fast.
