Freezing Levels!!!

[Choada_Boy]

AARRGGHH!!!

 

NWAC is calling for freezing levels to hit 9500 ft by Friday night and stay high into next week!!!

Saw that too. Sucks cause it's 1000-2000 today.

Yeah, but did you see that cold front coming down from the Rockies into Eastern Washington this morning on the radar. :tup:

[Mr_Phil]

It was 0 this morning. I hit a patch of "frost" while commuting on my bike and ended up sliding across the pavement.

 

Ouch.

Dunno if you all south of the line got hit by a week-long inversion like Vantown did, but a good bit of alpine water ice fell down/rotted out anyways, so the 3000m freezing level is only the icing on the gâteau.

CORN, suckaz! Learn to ski. Where's the rooster?

 

All right, I just looked at the forecast; I'll admit that corn doesn't seem likely for next week. Oh well.

 

They can't take this from us:

Don't give up hope, buddy. There's always sand and bugs.

hopefully harvesting corn on the sw side of red mtn tomorrow before the clouds start to roll in and spoil the spring skiing goodness....only wish i'd had this whole week off so i coulda done more with the nice weather.

I was up on Red Mountain earlier this week, and there was not much corn to be found... great condition for cramponing though.

[skykilo]

Corn has a remarkable diurnal variation. Morning's perfect crampon surface often leads to afternoon's velvet corn. What time of day was it? I'd be willing to bet there's fat corn to be skied there THIS VERY MOMENT.

Point taken; we were off the mountain and back to the car by 12:00. Great fun though!

Hanging out on the Yukon/BC border..gettin no where thanks to our SW jet stream..the Polar jet is carrying it through NE BC and grabbing all the other cold air over NWT and freezing the rest of Canada..more of a typical el nino flow for the PNW
