Mike_Gauthier Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 On a much brighter and more pertinent note, it's snowing GANG BUSTERS here at the park... Plenty of nice, deep, cold fresh snow for everyone... It looks as though it snowed more than a foot in Longmire last night... Quote
JoshK Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 15" new at stevens, 21" new at crystal Mike, is the snow falling with a good deal of wind up at Paradise? Quote
Norman_Clyde Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 This must be an atypical weather system, because it's snowing in the mountains without dropping any precip here at sea level. Streets are dry in Seattle this morning. What weather expert can tell us why this happens? Quote
iain Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 no expert here, but I would guess orographic uplift? Quote

iain Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 let's use layman's terms here Dru, not everyone's a meterologist w/ a minor in snaffology. Quote
Mike_Gauthier Posted March 6, 2003 Author Posted March 6, 2003 I just checked, we recieved 21 inches at Paradise overnight. It's still coming down. Not sure what's going on at Muir, etal... Probably blowing like hell... But 21 at Paradise is AWESOME!!! Quote
CascadeClimber Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 21" of fresh, dry snow at Paradise. Cool. I wonder when the road will open, if it does at all this weekend... Quote
hikerwa Posted March 6, 2003 Posted March 6, 2003 It's time to wash the truck, and get out the boards... Snow is finally here! Quote
Mike_Gauthier Posted March 7, 2003 Author Posted March 7, 2003 At least another foot of snow fell in Longmire last night... there is nearly 150 inches at Paradise now.... Winter seems to be making up for lost time... Quote
Duchess Posted March 9, 2003 Posted March 9, 2003 Paradise has officially reached an "average" snowpack!!! yay!!! Quote
Fairweather Posted March 10, 2003 Posted March 10, 2003 Lets go sledding!! 50 points each for mowin' down the green-jacketed monitors at the bottom of the hill! Quote
