Through the grapevine, I received a report from Basil Newmerzhycky from Saturday afternoon on Mt. Shasta. It was 34ºF at Bunny Flat (6950 ft) with moderate rain. He observed mixed rain and snow up to an elevation of 7500 ft. Most of the snow on the ground was from earlier storms." <br /><br />lol!<br />Amazing what happens when you "google" yourself. I never knew I had made it into "Wasatch Wx Weenies" years ago, while working for the USFS as a Fire Weather Meteorologist in Redding, CA. Yes, I was "In Search Of" the new record snowfall, and I remember the impressive Atmospheric Rivers setting up on the "Pineapple Express" out of Hawaii...taking aim on the Nrn Sierra and Srn Cascades. Would have been amazing if 700 mb temps would have been just 1 deg C lower.<br /><br />Now, having recently moved to Salt Lake City, I am in the uncomfortable position of NOT knowing the wx like the back of my hand. But learning is growth, and I have enjoyed reading these informative articles very much (and then skiing it, in order to validate results-lol).<br /><br />Thanks for maintaining such an excellent regional weather site. Wish I had this when I was going to school.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br />Basil Newmerzhycky<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-16420673211029385832012-12-14T12:42:35.672-07:002012-12-14T12:42:35.672-07:00If we have such a hard time predicting accurate sn...If we have such a hard time predicting accurate snowfall now, how would we have predicted accurate snowfall during the previous record setting event?Briannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6168620747792092240.post-28888881529797320772012-12-04T11:27:34.040-07:002012-12-04T11:27:34.040-07:00Yeah, that Leavitt Lake site suggests my 20% mean ...Yeah, that Leavitt Lake site suggests my 20% mean water content was generous.
