Freak of a storm ,,, maybe

[MORSNO]

Then that means it will dump on us then, sorry about your luck.

Yes it does and thanks for the sympathy . Fresh snow on the mountain my house sits on and frost and ice down here....anyday now and the garage rides will be over (sidehilling around the floor drain just isn't cutting it). Obviously not an epic year planned, but riding just the same.

 

[MARV1]

I'm hoping a bit more snow then last year from what the signs outside say... I'll be riding somewhat in a month or so, but more when December rolls around.

mammoth lakes ca forecast says at 7000 to 11000 feet ...

Significant Trof still headed for California by mid week with snow in the upper elevations eventually coming into the Mammoth lakes town later Wednesday 5 October.

Temps will cool each day into Thursday. Models this morning backed off a bit showing more of a NW slider…..then 18z run came roaring back wet for the high country. Snow level by Wednesday night down to 6 or 7K.

At this time it will all depend upon how the upper jet eventually comes through the Central Sierra Wednesday. At the moment the stormlooks pretty good for significant accumulation. (12 inches or more)

Being that this event is some 5 days away ...

That really sucks ... like my shoulder !

We had several lightning strikes last month.

 

[donbrown]

Forecast still set as stated.

Some forecasters say 1 inch at 6000 feet and 6-12 above 7000 feet .... This is all a hit and miss prediction on snow levels since the storm is a "band" in California.

A rubber (moisture) band being fueled by warm water and cold Alaska air stretched across the Sierras

Severe winds after snowfall.

Temps above freezing after SAT - SUN

Anybody getting any SNOW ???

[diamonddave]

Right arm...

 

[b1dodge]

A hurricane moving north up the BAJA coast might hit a low pressure cold front by California around 1 October.

Maybe some cold rain / snow in the southern Sierras and Rubbies then off to Colorado?

Not sure on amounts if any ... just wishing for cold weather a AND SNOW

Noticed some freezing temps this week at 7000 feet !!!!

Holy Meteorfreackingalogist!!! Nice Call!! We are getting nailed!

I know it will get warm enough in California on the 9-13 to melt what we have ... especially when this is the first storm and the earth is still warm from summer.

Typical snow crest was 1.5 inches water about a foot of Sierra cement

You can see another moisture cell south of Alaska but don't know if it will even make it to land, plus be cold enough and strong enough to produce ridable snowfall. Probable 10-15 DAYS AWAY ... TOO FAR FOR ANY PREDICTIONS.

I don't see any storm from now to Halloween but I sure do pray for snow.

REMEMBER now the winter weather "mechanisms" are in place by mother nature a storm could be 2 or more weeks away but as of today there is no prediction for any percipitation for the next 10 days for California. Will know more after all these weather guys "calibrate" the results of this storm and use it to predict the future activity.

It seems this present storm is still dropping in the SIERRAS a little. Then off to the Rubies / Utah and Colorado.

Can you ride on a paved trail with a beater sled with 1-2 feet in UTAH?
