Colorado Weather Discussion Thread

[Rontele]

Since a few folks were all butt hurt about the ample weather discussion in the Colorado Snowpack Obvs thread, I thought i'd start another discussion thread here. The discussion, however, will have to wait until i don't have a headache.

Squatch wants to know if you are PMSing. He says some Midol may help.

Also, PM Iceman for help with this. We hear he is a PMS expert.

Have Squatch explain to you how is he both a scarecrow and a vagina.

All of the satellites I am looking at show the storm moving out, yet several sources are still calling for several more inches overnight...

[Rontele]

Wow, that has been quite a past two weeks. It is pretty amazing that a season can be saved out of two storms (the second one isn't quite done yet, either).

For this week December 10-17, the L which brought all of the snow to the mountains is currently cut off somewhere near Baja, starting monday, it will start to fill and move north, northeast eventually crossing the forecast area on Monday night and Tuesday. The southern zones again appear favored for additional (probably advisory level) snows, but there is a shortwave dropping out of the northern stream, which will help with areal coverage across the north. Longwave troughiness remains over the west through the week with another shortwave coming in on a NW flow Wednesday and again Saturday.

[millfiger]

Cut-off low = high pressure between us and the low?

short wave trough = psychedelic pig feeding on us?

so far looks like this storm is front range and western slope. Maybe the two sides will merge in the middle at some point.

It's currently spitting a little bit here n leadville.

[skiHOG]

been consistent here in boulder most of the evening. nothing heavy, but it keeps coming. radar looks to be clearing up though.

[montanaskier]

cloudy and warming temps here right now. Just appears to be breaking up and not making it into the area. I think I will go to sleep and maybe it will all be better in the morning. I have to work and can't ski anyway.
