Thread: More snow in Colorado!

Well not yet, but I've heard from people at NOAA that this winter is supposed to be really big. Last time I heard this from NOAA people was August of '02, and '02-'03 turned out to be the best winter since '95. I'm buying Spatulas in about 30 seconds...

You are... trusting a weatherman?

ON A LONG TERM FORECAST???

That will be sure to jinx the season. Now it won't snow at all in Colorado this season. Great job dude.

Brrrrring it!

maybe we need a little positive thinking instead of the constant "oh you jinxed it" train of thought. I am looking foward to a deep winter.

YEEHAW LET'S RIDE!!!!

Chest deep pow days by Halloween... I'm feeling it!

now thats what i like to here.....hopefully we get a couple storms like last night this winter....

not too shabby....whats the calculation for that?

Im not sure what precip measurement they used but if snow is assumed to have 10% moisture content, 1 inch of rain equals 10 inches of snow.

Isn't it like 1" of rain is 1' of snow.I wish I was a weather dude,what other profession can you be wrong the majority of the time & not get fired!

Except in Utah,I gotta say they have a different handle on snow forcasting there.I also love the way Alta & other areas there measure snow as of 4pm,not 24 hours.They also update frequently.There've been many times where I wake up & they report 2",call & hour later & they report 6".Actually get on the hill & it's knee deep!

On the 1-10 ratio some places would've had over 40 inches. I can't even begin to count how many big storms have come through this summer.

Here's a tip: you begin counting with one


It rained about 5 inches at mi casa. We drove around the city hydroplaning the lakes.

How high's the water Foggy?
I said is 5 feet high and risin...

here's my thought...I've spent years now hoping dreaming wanting wasting time tying to decipher all the expert advice about " this upcoming winter ". From here on out I'm just going to say fuck it and ski what nature gives me, grin and have the hap hap happiest time since Bing Crosby tap danced with Danny fuckin Kay ! ! !

It's gonna snow this winter. Sometimes more, sometimes less, sometimes not at all. There will be times when it doesn't snow for 10-14 days, and times when it snows for a week straight. If we get storms in the form of snow like the one we had yesterday, it's gonna be a fun winter. 24" in a couple of hours isn't too bad.

Cause it's facking difficult and not like memorizing/typing a bunch of lines of code into some system to make the TPS reports more efficient and prettier!

How the hell am I supposed to tell you how much snow you're gonna get in 3 months? Exactly. I cant because that snowflake that's gonna fall in 3 months is probably in the form of a water drop in the eastern Atlantic right now trying to get itself evaporated so it can dump on Abasin for us to ski on in a few months.

Us meteorologists get no love.

and no, you dont wish you were a weather dude cause it pays shit.

but tomorrow is my last day at this job!!
sorry....I need beers.

Um, doesn't the weather come from the Pacific?

And I like what iskibc and board say. Whatever the weather brings, it'll be fine. There are always untracked turns to be had...

Where ever there is snow....that's where we'll be. Snow is a miracle, never heard anyone complain about having a miracle

Hey JD,
Sorry man,didn't mean to pour lemon juice into your paper cut!I wasn't talking about extended forecasts,just the short term ones that never seem to pan out.Hey,having some information is usually better than having none!Also I did mention that Utah's forecasters were on it . The SLC topography seems to make their jobs a lot easier.Speaking of which,you should try & get a job there,everybody loves the weather dudes there.If the Man is wearing the white blazer it's coming down!
I'm a musician & a writer,so whatever it pays it's a king's ransom compared to my income!

Weak El Nino for winter of 04-05. Maybe a few more flakes will fall on Co this year. If not, UT will get tons and it will spill over.

well lets see, if it was some montana cold smoke running about 3% water content, that would be about 165" of snow.

dang i hope we get a storm cycle like that AGAIN THIS YEAR!!!
